Dailies all done :0)

Need to go into town to deliver friend's DS's Birthday card - just waiting to avoid catching shift change at the steelworks! Morrisons roundabout can be a 'mare around now.

Then I need to look at what presents I've got and what i still need to get :0/

Catch you later xx

I have decanted the Sloe Gin, strained through a muslin. Mum asked if I had tasted it. She doesn't want to know if it tastes ok - she wants to know it's NOT POISONOUS because she doesn't *quite* believe I know what sloes are and where they grow because she doesn't know what they are!

And I have taken a picture of the bottles, which now need labelling!

I have:
been to the sorting office,
done some studying
and ironing,
been to work,
had some lunch,
cleaned the kitchen,
friend has been and picked up the goldfish....too big for our little tank now
And polished downstairs.

Going to put the hoover round now and then get on with some more studying before Mum brings DD home (she is watching the show today, I have seen it twice and the second one (yesterday) was 2 and a half hours long and that long sitting on those small chairs is more than enough !!!)

I've been pottering all day and just looked at my list and can honestly say I can't cross anything off it! Lol, just not motivated.

I've got half an hour before DS comes home so i'm going to do another couple of months of this years accounts as that means I can just sit at the computer by a radiator. Bliss!

So, not very effective but I am flying xx

Afternoon all.

I did the bathroom/toilet this morning, the landing got done with the bedrooms yesterday. Also some washing done and draped round.

Went to vet with the cat, she was supposed to go tomorrow but the forecast looks a bit iffy so I went today, and the good news is that her ulcer has gone again. We have to keep on with the ointments as it seems she has a problem with tear production but it's all good news. Back next Friday for it to be rechecked before Christmas.

Made a sponge with lemon curd in the middle and a fruit cake.

Vacuumed kitchen and hallway.

Birthday card has been delivered and Christmas presents checked off against my list.

Got two presents and 4 boxes of chocolates to buy for other people; and really need to get DS a few more bits...Santa looks a bit mean this year!

Going to fetch DS home from Uni tomorrow yayyy with ALL his stuff eeeek and he doesn't go back til 11th (ish) Jan woop woop... but he's just texted me to say he can't find his laundry card oh-oh wonder when he last saw it/ used it. Note to self: stock up on wash powder as per Dusty's listy.

Have a good evening y'all xx

Hugs to Mudbath...I bet your motivation is on holiday with mine hehe xx

DS is disgusted. he wanted some 'undershorts' for football so off we went to JJB

turns out they now do student discount. Despite SHOWING them the student concerned they wouldn't give me the discount without ID so I left them there and will get them another time...he offered to give me the money himself :rotfl:

(I will 'nip' and pick them up while DD is at her guitar lesson.)

Congratulations seafarers_wife on the birth of Benjamin! And seafarer too!
I have been without power for almost two days and couldn't wait to find out your exciting news.

Thanks for all the congrats for me too. I have a huge smile.

Flying completely went out the window with no power or heating. We had the wood burner lit and virtually lived in the living room. If anyone watches Look North you would have seen the amazing United Utility guys working in blizzard conditions through the night to get our power back on. The poles carrying the power lines either snapped or keeled over with the weight of the ice and snow.

After last year with no water I thought this year was going to be easy
