YORKSHIRELASS

Morning all 

Been in the WAC since 5.30am, probably not helped by the Prosecco last night.  DS1 off to work, I want to do some paperwork today including submitting DHs tax return, its all sorted I think but for some reason I didnt finish it off, and might as well do it while I am at home.

Hope things are OK with MIL Narco and the night hasnt been too tough for you.  I need a second cup of coffee I think.

Morning all.  Thickfrost here. I'm in no hurry to get up.
Narco I echo Piggers words.
i need to go shopping at some point.

Good morning
I had a fairly productive day (well, for me anyway!). I emptied the DW, WULTD, wipe all the surfaces, cleaned the hob & microwave, washed up the pet dishes, wiped down in the UR and did some laundry. I also cleared out 2 shelves (precariously double-stacked) of mugs. I have removed 18 (about a 1/4) which will go to the CS when open again. It looks better 
I had cold meats and salad for tea last night. I went in the garden by torchlight and delved in a pot for potatoes - and came out with some lovely ones! Not a blemish on them 
I ate too many chocolates last night and didn't feel well. Today I am staying clear of the chocolate & biscuits, and drinking more water!
The kitten is on one this morning. He used to be scared of the dog, but is now tormenting him! I am waiting for him to crash!!
Today will be an admin day, and maybe a food shop. I still need to empty Lottie the Hottie as it is now completely full. I will also take the dog for a walk to give us both some exercise.
Hugs to Narc0 and Fayolle
Welcome to the newbies - it can be overwhelming, but as Valli says - baby steps. The house didn't become overwhelming in one day!

First work shift done and I've made a start on hemming DDs curtains.  Dailies done and I've put the bin out for tomorrow's collection.  So glad I don't have to go out today, it's freezing.

(((Hugs)))) to Narc0 and Mr N, and prayers for you all xxx
More (((hugs))) to Fayolle xx
BadCat, I hope your leg is improving xx

I  really needed to go shopping today for special birthday cards (a 90 and a 70) and fruit, but decided against it because I would never have got my car up the still snow-covered drive.  It is thawing slowly but still not quickly enough that the drive will be clear before it freezes again tonight, so I shall be a prisoner in my own home again tomorrow (apart from going out with Rosie). 

This morning I have sorted out some admin problems and started a jigsaw.  'Nuff said!

Thanks for your support. The midnight hospital update was that MIL was having a head scan; the 4am (I thought I was in the WAC but didn't hear Mr N make that call) was that she was admitted to a ward and was 'OK'.   We assumed the hospital would be manic in the morning (Essex - thankfully not the ones where the ambulances are queuing outside for hours) so went for a sunny, frosty walk to clear our heads.   Noon report was that she is still very drowsy but all vital signs are good; they are frankly baffled so are doing more tests; may even be a water infection although I think they are assuming something more than that (she used to get them a lot and they do have a drastic effect).   Ward sister seemed lovely on the phone, said the ward doctor was very good at communicating with families and would ring us if any change or diagnosis; Mr N said he would ring tomorrow.

Flying wise has been mainly planning cooking. I have too many dried pulses lurking at the back of the cupboard so have started soaking split peas for soup, also lentils to make a dahl.

Done quite a bit of a report today.
C & C from Mr T at 6pm, will sort it in the car park and drive my friend's round to her.

Evening all,

Narco - keeping everything crossed for your MiL. Fayolle - still thinking of you.
Its been a busy few days, although I'm not sure what I've done! My phone broke which is annoying, new one arriving tomorrow so no doubt I will spend a big chunk of the day wrangling with it! I did drop two huge bags of stuff off at the charity shop this morning - feeerrllling! And I have a bag for life of rubbish on the go upstairs. 

Tomorrow if time allows I will take the tree and decorations down. I'll keep an eye on my work emails too, the changes announced today impact on when I go back to work, think it'll depend on how many key worker/vulnerable students in next week. My children returning to school as normal thankfully. 

I am heading for an early night, had a poor nights sleep last night. Sleep well all, hugs and spoons aplenty xxx

Narco - finger crossed 
I have cleaned the kitchen and bathroom.  WM filled with towels and cleaning cloths. DWS loaded.
Pannetone turned into bread and butter pudding. (It makes excellent B&B pudding and less sugar is needed).
Our distant 'relative', who had covid, has died.  He was a widower; their only child died very very young.  He was my Great Aunt's husband's sister's son.  I believe there wasn't anyone left in his close family.  Since he was widowed he has been very dependent on my mum.
