    Goodness LameWolf, you and Mr LW are very organised - I do wish I could be more like that but tend to fly by the seat of my pants or whatever the expression is! Apparently my DH fell on the ice on Saturday but he didn't tell me til this morning. I've almost gone over numerous times but managed to save myself each time .... so far.

    Dusty hope you're feeling better now.

    Lots of you have got children off from school - I don't think the snow is too bad here in comparison. I took my 2 to school in their wellies as they're a bit more grippy. DS got football club straight after school but they're doing it inside thankfully.

    First day without Valium and doing OK so far. Been for a 3 mile walk which blew away the cobwebs. Best venture out into the kitchen with my list now I guess:
    Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clean floors
    Level Two
    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
    Clean cupboard door fronts

    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky

    Extra Mission
    Choose one or more of:

    • Wipe the front of large appliances

    Really hungry now - had decided last night to use up very old pack of bread mix from cupboard so I could have a treat for lunch. Needless to say I forgot to put it in bread machine early enough, so I've got about 15 mins to go.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
  • Just kicked OH back to work. I have reloaded WM and TD and phoned the dentist to make an appointment. I have a huge fear of the dentist and thought when I phoned I would need to wait at least a week for an appointment but no it's Wednesday morning!! I think they will tell me I'm needing wallies. :(
    Better get a wiggle on and get something done!

    Congratulations skinty - now try and get some rest!

    I've decided I'm cancelling Cubs tonight as the roads aren't good and all the schools are closed.
