It's snowing!!

Cat came running in from the field, with a most upset look on their faces.

Admin type stuff done, back up, removing 2022 stuff off lappy.

Argh! How is it Wednesday and Page 4 already!?

So far today I have dropped both children off at school (different locations, 20 miles apart), raided the garage for lidded glass jars for Class 1 to make snowglobes with today, flung a bag of outgrown school uniform at the Head Teacher, including PE kit and swimming trunks, dropped off glass jars to school, returned my friend's glasses that she left behind yesterday after our mammoth cracker making session, posted a parcel for Vinted in yet another village 20 miles in a third direction, taken in two visiting spaniels, done a huge food shop in a 4th town...and put it all away (£145, and not even my Christmas food!), fed the goats, chickens and barn cats and smashed/defrosted the 2" ice on all the water troughs, washed up yesterday's few things, WM x 1 and just put the kettle on.

Cuppa anyone? Got chocolate malted milk biscuits AND shortbread fingers in the tin.  And I wonder why I'm fat?

After tea break, I'll be moving chicken feed, getting in some logs, cleaning out woodburner and relighting it, mopping/scrubbing the middle room floor to remove puppy mess, then cleaning out the cat trays before all the dogs start truffle-hunting.

Oh, and Valli - rude raspberries to the nasty flower crew. Make your arrangement anyway, smile, wave and imagine poking them with prickly holly...

2 boxes of stuff wrapped.. 2 re-allocated and one in the 'TBD' pile.. I thought it was an eyeshadow palette and it turned out to be a contour palette so not really suitable for a 12 y/o.. I will be able to swap it out with an eyeshadow one from Moomin I guess

Sorted 4 rolls of wrapping paper for DD1 since she has no paper and no quids.. Transfered my V1nted profits to DD1 so she can put the heating on seeing as she has had none for weeks and Lionel is blue.

It's neither unreasonable to feel excluded nor misplaced pride to want to be able to contribute to the officiator and congregation's enjoyment and celebration of Christmas Narco.  It's selfish of the people who have excluded you from doing so, particularly as you were on the rota to do so.  I'm sorry you were hurt.

Still waiting for the phone call to tell me the result of Layla's scan.  Every day we don't get the phone call my concerns are getting more extreme, on the basis that if it were simple and good news they'd have told us straight away. 

Pansies and primroses that were bought last week are finally in the troughs and around the base of the trees they were destined for and watered in.  Lots of rubbishy stuff tidied up in the communal garden. 

WM x 2, first load out on the line already.  It'll be out there for 48 hours but the forecast is dry for another couple of days at least.  We could really, really do with the rain here.  Our local reservoirs are not full.  This is abnormal for the southwest.

I forgot my physio appointment this morning, and it was in my diary so how I just didn't see it I don't know.  Rebooked for Friday.  Oops.

It’s been a long day.  I’ve served in the cafe, re-typed the cafe menu, increased prices, persuaded kind gentleman to take down a blackboard, changed drinks prices and set up a space for a work meeting tomorrow.  I made a banana loaf which appeared to be today’s best seller and made some posh labels to improve cake display.

Hi all

Narco I think you have every right to be hurt, how insensitive of them and dont they know how lucky they are to have your skills?  You are not vain, proud or silly.

And Pigpen I would sell too, thats a nice profit.

So, paid stuff has been tricky.  Not much Christmas cheer to be had there.  Woke up to a dusting of snow - DH took me to work because he was finally persuaded to go back to the doctors with his chest and now has antibiotics so at least I didnt have to drive.  No sign of a thaw though and I really need to be in the office tomorrow.

I am tired which isnt helping my mood.  Early night is needed I think.  Flying has been limited to shuffling a bit of laundry about, DS is home at the weekend so I need to move some clothes out of his room and take them to the clothing bank.  I will add that to my list of jobs.
