Morning LPP glad the toothache's a bit better, you will probably have a bit of swelling for a few days but it should be all gone soon.
Looking a bit damp & dreich out there this morningbut we're getting off lightly compared to some parts of the country so shouldn't complain too much - hope everyone's safe where they are.
Today's list is mostly LO from yesterday....- Usual daily stuff Done
- Washing x 2 - does anyone else go from having a 1/2 full laundry bin to a full one in a day? ... or is it just me!:rotfl:Did 1 wash of most essential stuff - not quite enough for a 2nd full wash so have left
- Knit DMs Christmas scarf .... running out of time! :eek::eek: Argh - not doing well with this!
- Finish letter to Water Supplier - have been working on this already. Final draft done, just need to check, print off & put in the envelope! Done
- Sort winter car kit & put in car! Have put together but it's not in the car as it's been absolutely PELTING down all day!:(
- Find camping stove & put somewhere handy (for power cuts) Not been outside .....
- Watch F1 later:) Can't believe it's finished already - where has this year gone:eek:
- See if I have anything else worth listing on e*bay - free listing again!
.
*sigh* - I feel a lot more organisedand, best of all, I managed to empty a (small) drawer in one of my bedroom cabinets :T which means I've been able to organise my winter stuff much better so I should hopefully be able to find what I need, when I need it!:)

Morning all
Finally stopped raining 'darn sarth' for a bit. Had a minor catastrophe last night - water dripping in from the top of my kitchen window & quite fast - eek. DH sussed it & is out this morning doing running repair - phew!
Managed to do a load of filing & get rid of old rubbish in my 'filing system' (term used very loosely)
Cleared a space in my bathroom cupboard to hold my heater rollers.
Mission for today
1) Mend DH overalls
2) Make Curtain for archway between utility & kitchen BEFORE it starts getting really cold.
3) List a few more items on eBay
4) Make lamb hotpot - got a recipe that uses black pudding in it so going to try
Thinks that's enough for a SundaySmall victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle0 -
