    Morning everyone.

    Dusty - Thanks for the thread & continued wake up vibes for Ed - he has a long recovery ahead so I guess he will wake when his body is ready for him to cope with it. Must be very hard for the family.

    I'm only at work on Friday and Saturday morning this week so no excuse for not completing the full lists this week. Please feel free to kick me if you catch me lurking on here. It's not freezing here this morning and we have had no snow so much restart my walking programme today - have missed the last 2 weeks because of my cold, work last week and icy pavements - must do better!

    Dust any surfaces which need it
    Dry any doormats/boots etc which have been left wet from the snow

    Am I the only one on here who didn't see a single flake of snow?

    We haven't got any. It is funny, the whole country grinds to a standstill when there is snow and when we get it in Scotland (the dusting not the stupid stuff from the last couple of years) we just get on with it. I will be quite happy not to see any snow this year.

    Right, I have my list and although I have a lovely new laptop that I want to get used to I am going to try and stay away from it until I have finished my list. If I get through it I may try the rest of today's list, especially as a lot of what I need to do appears to be on it anyway.

    Morning all. Have decided not to step outside today so will work from home. Have first lot of washing on, have done the breakfast dishes, vacuumed and swept through house. Just going to spend HH tidying DS room, then I'd better get on with what I'm paid to do. Have a good day.
    Spend less now, work less later.
