    Good morning everyone. Brrr, it's cold. Woke up to SNOW!!! I'm going to treat myself and have the heating on while I do todays list. How can a house get so messy during a weekend when we've all been away? It doesn't make sense.

    I'm dressed; bed made; birds fed; washing sorted - towels draped on airer in front of radiator as no way they're going to dry outside, it's sooo cold and damp; put rubbish out; and I've completed the JSA reassessment form ready for tomorrow's visit to the JC..which is quite organised for me :)

    I went into the village to pay CT, and top up DS's phone, but there's a big funeral at the church and nowhere to park, so I'll have to go back later.
    And I've learned how to block people on facebook :eek: :o :cool: feel quite sick but it had to be done :(

    Right now I'm going to wash some pots while a pizza warms up for my lunch. (Don't feel sick enough to skip lunch :o :rotfl:)

    Catch you later xx

    Afternoon all

    Kitchen/diner done. DD1 has taken my Christmas cards for posting (in return for me staying in for her parcel to be collected). All presents already wrapped. Decorations won't be going up until at least next weekend, and more likely the one after. We'll see. Larder and freezer sorted, shopping being delivered tomorrow morning.

    Hope you feel better today LW (haven't finished catching up yet).
