  • Good morning! I'm in again. DS starts his A-level exams today, and was worried that the college bus wouldn't be able to get through the snow. Thankfully, we only have a dusting, and he can take my car if necessary :)

    I'm going to start in the kitchen, then my study - couldn;t do that last week as DH was working in there.

    Thanks to Dusty :A and Natty :A for all you do :A

    Morning ladies

    Thanks to Dusty and Natty for continuing with the thread. Didnt post after about Wed as just manage to keep on top of things, enough my mother doesnt think I'm a total slob when she came to stay. She's at home looking after DD while we are away and will quite happily not lift a finger to do anything.
    We are sat at the airport waiting to go and were a tad worried as it started to snow when we left the hotel, but didnt seem to last so fingers crossed we are not still here at 915.
    So that will be over and out for me for the next 11 days so will hopefully catch up with you all then.

    Stay well, stay safe

    Love Kaz xx

    Good morning all :wave:

    The white stuff has arrived and my beautifully tidy garden from yesterday is now hidden under a light blanket and looks no better than any of the neighbours' :rotfl:

    Seriously, though, I'm glad we did all that work yesterday, even if I have kept waking up with cramp from aching muscles. Last year we left it too late and the snow covered all the leaves that had fallen on the lawns, so by the time the snow eventually cleared the leaves were stuck there and the grass suffered badly. The garden needs to look good this spring!

    Welcome to all Newbies and Returners. Hope everyone has a successful flying week.

    (((Hugs))), sticks and spoons to all who need them, with a special bunch of silver spoons to SB5, wherever you are - you can sit up in bed and polish them if you've nothing better to do! :D

  • Morning all, kids nearly all decluttered to school. :D

    *Question*
    DS3 has wet the bed, what is the best way to clean it and have it dry for tonight? I've ordered a waterproof protector so hopefully no more wet bed.
