Fire done

General tidy round done

It is very cold here, and a very high tide.

Electricity smart being fitted on 25th November. Gas smart meter being fitted on 7th December. 

Hi! Best bit of advice I can give anyone having meters exchanged is: get a photo of the meter that's being removed just before it's disconnected. Sometimes the meter readings from the old meter don't get recorded on the systems and your bills aren't correct: if you have a photo of the old meter then you have both readings and meter serial number to send to the company that bills you IF anything goes awry. (used to work for Energywatch back in the day)
Right, off to herd clothes to the washing machine...

Evening all 🫡blooming chilly isn't it? Flying to keep warm....our w/m & t/d are in the garage - pipes are lagged but they tend to freeze up when temp drops to around 0c.  Ok at the moment 🤞


Level 1
✔️Open window (not for long!)
✔️Remove towels and facecloths and fling in WM
✔️Scrub Loo inside and out, ✔️slop  bleach or descaler down afterwards

Level 2
✔️Clean out baths and/or showers
✔️De-fuzz plugholes
✔️Clean shower heads and hoses
✔️Clean handbasins
✔️Wipe plugs - especially underneath!

Level 3
✔️sweep and mop or vacuum floor as appropriate
✔️clean windows
polish mirrors
✔️dust and polish where necessary

Extras
✔️check stocks - soap, loo rolls etc - fling anything that's been lingering a while (and make some space for Christmas smellies)
❌️HHI
✔️S&S kitchen
❌️Get out an appliance instruction book and make sure you are using your washer, drier, processor or whatever as efficiently and effectively as possible 

No MAD frogs/frogmellas today, maybe tomorrow 🤔

I made some excellent mini Christmas cakes this morning, and managed to get through to just one of the people I needed to phone.  Meanwhile Rosie had a lovely long walk in the crisp snow with L.
This afternoon we collected DGD1+2 from school.  They decided to make the Christmas puddings, and made a very good job of it.  I mustn't forget to add the ale tomorrow morning.
W got a glowing verbal report from her class teacher at the parents' evening - for someone who says she doesn't like Maths, she is achieving very high marks.

Apart from DH being grumpy (mainly because he was tired after getting up early), it's been a good day.

Morning all.

My DH is grumpy too Iona.  Maybe it's the weather.

Had a lovely day out yesterday, if a little cold.  Back to paid stuff today so will report back with any flying later.  Wordle in three.

Have a great day everyone.

Valli

morning all.  Wordle in 3 for me, too.  Got connections but lost a couple of lives in the process.

Am up ridiculously early because it’s DDs graduation.  At least i remembered to set the heating so i’m not freezing while i’m having my vertical half hour.

DW x 1, WM x 1.  will put TD on while i shower, but i can’t bend down just yet.  

Hope everyone keeps warm.

I'm only dipping into the lists at the moment, but I'm making progress.  Last night I did a gibble pick up downstairs before I went out and it made such a difference.  DH was out so it was lovely to return to a neat and tidy home for a change .  Defrosting the FF today.  Its not a job I like so always put off for ages, but today is the day!  DH is out so I've emptied and turned it off for now.

Morning all xx 

-4 here this morning apparently 🥶.I'm discombobulated as not going to work this morning has thrown out my routine. And breathe....

I'm up, made my bed, eaten breakfast, taken meds, turned over the calendars, supped a brew, completed Wordle in three, completed Connections with one life lost, and completed Strands with no hints required. 

Thank you short_bird. Will do 📷. 

Have a lovely day Valli. xx
