We've not had a single snowflake.. and I am not complaining at all! I saw some snow, it was on the roof of a van which obviously came from out of town.
Dot is WILD, Squeak is on with her school stuff, Pixie .. is not... and Twinkle had a text saying we had to 'check in' on their account thing which I have no details for.. thats helpful!! I didn't even know they were doing anything for them.. hey ho! I need to set up Dot's school lappy to access her clarinet lesson.. I will delegate to OH I think.
I've made a smallish holiday payment and I need £150 more for Dots assessment.. OH is covering the initial £250 for the first appointment and I have the rest to pay.. I can scrape that together I guess. I MUST get on with my ebeasting and I am putting some knitted angels on NuM0nday (cheaper to sell than Et$y who charge a fortune) as soon as I have the brain power to get some thrown together.
I have laundry to hang up. DW needs to be on. I have my Der@mores package arriving.. I put in an order during their Advent offers and they didn't include my freebies so I complained.. and they are sending me freebies.
OH has shovelled the cat trays.. Percy was doing his best to follow him round filling them up again!
Cuppa... lunch for the squawks .. and laundry shuffling I think.

Good afternoon all x
I haven't caught up on the thread yet, so hope all are well xx
I had a hand written letter in the post this morning, from someone who, apparently, walks down the back lane to work and they were complaining about dogs mess in the garden (it gets cleaned up regularly) an issue that the mess gets hosed down the lane ( it gets picked up, and then hosed) and that, apparently the dog is not walked?? So that was the start to my day!!!!
Anyway, was supposed to be in work today but swapped to take Mum for a Covid test before she starts radiotherapy.
I have done some washing and cleaned a toilet!!!!
Will look at the list now and cattch up with Fred xx7 -
