Morning all. Ooh-er the world is a strange place this morning. I take it you got some sleep Narco.
It's pouring with rain here so I'm doubtful that I'll be able to fit in a dog walk before the paid stuff. Need to sort out finances first as DH has been spending.
And LittleyDog has to go to the vet today for her booster.
Right, lots to do, better get on.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -

Isn't it just???
I have about an inch of the white stuff on my car - it's started to settle on the road as well, and still coming down in big, soft flakes. The sky looks full. Quite pretty really...
I've left the piggies in their hutch today for the microclimate, lol. Just gave them a handful of spinach and some more of their nuggets.
DD wants me to take her to school on her sledge, bless. I did plan for extra layers last night though, so they'll be having their vests on today!
I've got college too - hope the traffic isn't too bad. I'll take a :coffee: for the journey.
Have a good day all, stay warm xxBossymoo

No snow here but we're down in Bristol so didn't expect anything. World's gone crazy today and a lot of US people are in shock from the result. Bit like Brexit all over again!
Going to vacuum this morning and put some washing on. Still no hot water from boiler and waiting for it to be repaired - J is going to chase them up. I'm going to change S's bedding too as it needs it and have a general tidy up in his room.Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -

Please tell me this is a joke? I've never known snow this early in the autumn!
I'm working today, start at 11.30. I really could do with another day off but I'm timebanking today. It will be useful as I don't have any holiday left to take this side on 31.1.17.
DH took a glass of wine upstairs to watch tv last night. He left it on my bedside table. I knocked it over this morning and it smashed into millions of pieces. I, of course, had bare feet and now have to stand all day with bits of glass in the soles of my feet. Red wine dribbles are all over the carpet (been at them with stardrops which appears to have worked).
The TD is working again but the Dy$on died. I have bought a new one with a ball. It was fiendishly difficult to put it together! The dog doesn't like it and keeps trying to bite it!
I will do another load of washing and set the DW off and go and find a jumper to keep the cold away at the bus stop!0 -

Eventually went to bed but kept checking what was going on via kindle under the bedclothes, so not as much sleep as would have been wise as I'm working this afternoon. Wacky Wednesday about sums it up. No snow here, just grey and murky.
Have put DW on, that's about it. And had a long chat with my brother.
Ouch to glass in the foot, hope you got it all out Mumto5 if it was you.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0 -
