Morning all x

Sprinkling of snow here this morning. I’ve hardly slept a wink ended up getting out of bed at silly o’clock. I’m on my second load of washing and the TD is going. DDs windowsill wiped because it was bogging when I opened her blinds. She has been flung out to uni and even though apparently she doesn’t feel the cold she’s been made wear a jacket. 

OH is still in bed so I’ll get the hoovering down when he gets up.

Morning

Thank you for the lists xx

So far

Changed the bed and remade

WM x 2 done

Showered, but needed a lifeboat as it wasn't draining away, it has been 'gurgling' for a day or two.

Kitchen done

Bins done

Fire log, kindling and logs brought in.

Junk  Items of interest, that have been round the car boot for years, no interest, put on freecycle yesterday, today some one wants some of it, so need to get them sorted, fling............

Been and unlocked the drain from shower, the blockage was in about 5 inches of pipe u bend, made up of debris from the grid above the drain and hair, goodness knows when it was last done, as I had a major job to get the screws out of the cover. All done and flushed through, OH 'supervised' from the bed room and turned on the cold taps to flush it, he claimed he is WFH, therefore he had to be near his phone, it is a mobile phone................:) Cat 2 'helped' by peering into the drain hole from the outside.

So to do:-

Hoovering

No major shopping yet, (month to date £20 approx) still eating up stuff, have bought milk,fruit, veg.   ASB is going great guns well done xx

Ouch to your bills, @pigpen! 

DW done. Tea sorted, just need to make dumplings and peel potatoes. Chickens cleaned out, fingers frozen. Washing on line, fingers frozen again, and re-pegged twice, it's windy as well as cold! Washing from the weekend sorted and put away, (and the washing from last week). Plants on windowsill watered. Coffee drunk. Lunch eaten. Off to start again now. 
Hugs, mumtoomany.xxx

Hi all

Piggers thank you I’ll give it a try. 

Looking for fundraising ideas please. I’ve booked a hall to have a fundraising night for DDs dancing. I’m at a raffle ?! 🙈

WM still on I’ve only 1 more load left that’s if DD doesn’t appear with a basketful from nowhere. 

Winterdyke is nearly full might have to put the other one up. 

Spent most of the day trying to sort out exoh broadband. Decided he’s just going to cancel and sort something else out. One less headache for me. 

Chocolate trifle made for afters.
