    We had very little when you posted this, but it's now been snowing steadily since 10am :snow_laug

    Will DS get home ok? Has he driven in snow. I told DS2 that if it started to get real heavy and settle to ask to leave early to get the bus (he only has enrichment this afternoon).

    LW hope you have another doggy visitor soon. x

    Heavy snow here so I hurried home. Car fed with petrol, snow boots purchased, hula hoop bought. Ds2 school may be closing at 1pm.

    Towel laundry is underway.

    HHC in LR at 12.30. Join me if you can.
  • Thanks for this weeks list Dusty, and thanks to natty for last week

    Catsmith, Froddy, macpep, I am still here, but only just......I am defying the laws of gravity and refusing to put baby Skint into danger by doing the barest minimum....Ionafan, thank you for the bunch of silver spoons, I can polish them lying on my side ready for good use :)

    I might be able to achieve a bit of level 3 today :D:D:D:D

    Get everybody in your house to help you for at least 5 minutes each

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Only they don't know it yet.....;)

    EX MIL is dragging her heels in coming down, but fortunately/unfortunately DD2 is not in College today (self inflicted, sympathy in short supply) so if I get into trouble she can at least call ambulance and retrieve DS by train if necessary

    Right, will be back for a lurk later - need to change sides as my leg has gone to sleep, as I need to extract DS shortly with DD2 in tow just in case
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Afternoon all, still lurking but still flying too. No snow here (thank you); it rained hard this morning but I still went walking and it looks as though it's brightening up now. The rain has stopped and I've refilled the bird feeder/table. Kitchen, living room, hallway and stairs all done this morning and washing draped round.

    We've got quite a covering of snow. It's just stopped here but the sky looks full. I would say we've had about an inch in terms of what is on the car, but less than that has settled on the roads . paths.

    The kiddies were well pleased this morning, so wellies on and a walk to nursery. My mum has just called, she is working a late shift so has asked if she can stay here tonight if its bad conditions, I'm nearer to her work than she is.

    Afternoon all :) No snow here, just freezing temperatures and rain ... apparently snow is due ?

    I'm in again this week, although missing for a couple of days.

    Quite glad it's the study / living room today, as I need to do some paperwork, so that'll fit in nicely :)

    Others:

    Finish Viking outfit for DD (tunic done, just apron and headwear to do)
    Pay Credit Card bill - oh how I love the post-Christmas bill ! (Our house insurance and car insurance fall in December, so it's the bill from hell !)
    Get windscreen replaced - crack getting bigger
    Ensure car has de-icer, scraper, walking boots, torch etc., in case of snow.
    HHI
    Bite the bullet and complete my SA !

    Snow heavy here now and settling. DS3's school have said they can be collected early - exec decision - DS3 can walk home as usual at normal time (will be more fun with other kids!)

  • Done loads of washing (almost at the bottom of the basket now) and the ironing is progressing well. Have been to the paid stuff, done bits of shopping, made lunch for 3 and decluttered DD2 to work.

    Am about to slurp a cuppa and then back to the ironing.....
