I've just popped in to have a nose while I defrost - washed my hair and put it up in a towel while I waited for the tanks to refill so I could run my bath...an hour later I woke up freezing and hungry :rolleyes::rotfl: That'll teach me to laydown with a CD on:o So a big bowl of soup had, a stew made in the slowcooker and currently on high as OH is staying back for open evening tonight so I don't know what time he'll be in. I'm just going to have a mug of hot chocolate and then I'm off to run a hot bath, have a soak, an hours kip (kitchen timer being taken up with me :rotfl: ) and then I'll go get DD from school :rolleyes:

Motivation may be back when DD gets in but whatever happens at least the bed will be changed (just need to change the quilt cover now - seemed pretty pointless if I was going to have a nap on it before my bath ) and tea is done. Laters :wave:

Afternoon all

Caught up again now. Changed my bed and remade it. Two loads of washing done and hung around the house. Dusted and polished all bedrooms and vacuumed bedrooms, landing, bathroom and toilet floors.

Dusted living room and computer desk (in hallway). Vacuumed stairs, hallway, living room and kitchen. S & Sd kitchen.

Got gas bill with revised reading but still had to ring up because they hadn't put next years payment plan on there (end of year bill). They owe us money so it's gone down a bit

It feels milder out today but I've got cold toes, must find my slippers....

I haven't done any flying so far today - I'm trying to fill in 2 application forms! I'm applying for completely different jobs than I've previously done so my head just doesn't want to work.

Pollybear

Good luck with that julie - you can always fly tomorrow!
