Stay safe in that white stuff, and, hope the slippers arrive soon.  The hoist toing and froing must be so frustrating.

So many wonderful positives in your post, and especially that the new job and youngest's work are looking so good.

I think it's worth at least investigating complaining about the hoist company, they've had a significant impact on your family and left you to pick up the bill.

Yes: what a flaming liberty...

Glad DH is enjoying the new job & that hopefully the hoist will be sorted.

We were promised a day off if it snowed, like it promised to, it didn't so I had to go in. Boo hoo. 
Glad DH likes new job and is settled

Thanks everyone for your advice and suggestions. 

We had a couple of inches of wet snow. Put my yak tracks on and got miss giddychops out. Dropped her off and then had another walk to get my steps in. 

Yesterday I tackled the housework and laundry ⛰️. Decluttered 2 huge throws (cs when the weather improves ) marked as rags for cs. Brought down 2 beautiful patchwork quilts my friend made me. The settes really need recovering as they are over 20 years old but are mega comfy. Zips need replacing etc. Will put on the list to consider. My consider list is getting longer. 

1) New kitchen and oven- cupboards are falling apart and oven keeps cutting out. Been here 14 years and it was old when we got here. 
2) Recover the sette- its old and zips don’t work so cushions don’t stay in place. It’s over 20 years old. 
3) 3 windows have blown . 1 of them was replaced 13 years ago and other 2 weren’t replaced. 

4) Conservatory or heated porch. So far the youngest has almost taken out floor length curtains and we are constantly having to move the dining table out the way so they can get their chair in the house. 

5) new radiator in the bathroom as it’s rusty.
 

Anyway back to yesterday only money spent was £1.15 on mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 from the local shop. Picked up my slippers 😀. Phone calls made. Appointment for will is booked. Hate to think how much that is going to cost. Must remember to contact my nephew to check he’s still ok with being a trustee. 

Plan for today is to meet the eldest half way and handover their reissued bank card and go for a walk. Then back home. Mr 🐞 has shredding in his future, he just doesn’t know it yet😂. 
Time to get up but my bed is so warm and cosy
love 🐞
