    Looking forward to my easy day. There's hardly any washing up to do, the beds are made and the sausage are already defrosting in the fridge :D Tackling the fire may have to wait as it's sub-zero temperatures here winter_brr.gif so I think I'll put that on my "long term to do" list, unless it fails to light again when I'll swear at it loudly and clean it up. I'll do it on a much warmer day.

    I'm not a happy bunny today...the weather forcast is 6inches of snow by the morning :eek: OH isn't too happy either as the auditors are in and he HAS to be in work tomorrow (apparently :rolleyes: ) but I'm not letting him drive 40 minutes up that motorway in 6inches of snow...I'll swallow the car keys if I have to :p It's not his driving ability, it's the other drivers and the fact that it's open fields most of the way there, and BIG Matalan (and that style) trucks as well. I'm worried sick that one day he's going to go out to work and not come back :o Which reminds me, I need to check on our insurance policies (no, it's not wishful thinking, just a thought I had last night that we took them out to cover the mortgage which we ended up not taking out and it's costing us £30 a month :p )

    Right, off to kick DDs bottom into gear ! :wave:

    Morning all

    It's triple nursey duty for me this morning as D is still not well, she has come down with a stinker of a cold, DH is now down with a doozy of a cold too and my neighbour is home from hospital and her DH has to fly to the states at midday so I am going to keep looking in on her during the day. So far I haven't done a darned thing so I'm off to get my franny in action and at least open the curtains so it doesn't look like we've died in the night!

    Lots of snow predicted here, I'm hoping it is gone by Friday when I have to take the parents shopping.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    Good morning everyone,

    Should be an easy day for me as well today, as i did the living room on Monday.
    So far, i have got up and dressed, made the beds and done a quick tidy of the bedrooms, started cleaning the bathroom, wiped down the kitchen and had a cup of coffee!!!!
    Still need to finish the bathroom and toilets, wipe down the front door, clean under the kitchen table (will do after lunch, the LOs make to much mess eating to do it now!!!) put the BM on, and whip the hoover around, but again, that will prob be done tonight. Also lots of playing with the LOs - they are going to make me better (doctors kit) and do my hair (getting better, dont get too many whacks now!!!).
    Right, had my break - off to do some more!!!!

    Simba, that's what I did last week and it's still giving me jip, I twisted it emptying the big pressure cooker after I'd steeped it and was hoping it would work itself off but it hasn't. It's not nice so hope yours clears asap.

    One good thing though, I'm telling everyone I've got a 'cleaning' injury so I'm getting out of a few things :rotfl: I also need to get off this comp cause it certainly doesn't help, it makes it worse infact, so I'm deffo gonna go now and do some work, ta-ra :wave:
