Wow we have snow :rotfl:
The kids think it should be Xmas now. Youngest is amazed that everything is white. She's never really been in/seen the snow much before.
We are watching Xmas films with hot chocolate watching the snow fall

It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

No snow here, probably midway between you and Uncanny Scot, but perishingly cold. The fells look like they've had quite a covering and there are reports of icy roads so not planning any big distances this weekend. Hope next weekend is better for DH to go get DS1 from uni.
Love the posts above reminding you how good a mum you are, I hope you realise that so many of us are full of admiration for all that you do for your wonderful smalls.

Still painting, still sorting toys, wallpaper arrived. Huge Amazon order arrived. I took advantage of the fabric softener being 6 bottles for £4.20 and Cereal 5 or 6 boxes for £5ish delivered using my vouchers. We should have enough for 6ish months now! Have kept the empty boxes to wrap for under the tree.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0
