    WUALTD (I can't remember if that's right or not, lol)
    Emptied DW
    Did WM x 2 and TD x 1; put away the aired, dried stuff and ironed the next lot, so that's airing off.

    I have stuff to list on ebay later.
    Oh and I am back at work tomorrow!

    My WM is working again :j so that and the DW are currently on.

    Decided at 8.30am I was bored and no way was this silly snow disrupting my day again, so by 9am I was at the tip!

    Have also been to Aldi, visited grandma, tidied the kitchen and straightened the garage a bit.

    As I did the food shopping today (usually do it Monday but really want to get ahead of myself) I can report a £30.51 spend in Aldi - that will be all our food for the week.

    Going to take the dog on her second walk shortly :)

    You are busy! I don't know about atypiclablonde. Sounding like an atypical human :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Pleased it went well Roundtuit. I dont really want anyone else doing housework because they dont do it to my standards but then I get annoyed when no-one helps. Where is the sense in that?).

    That's me to a T as well YL. Good luck with getting back to the cycle club. I seem to remember that you enjoyed it last time?

    Have a hug, roundtuit. I don't think any of us would be here if we lived in perfection. I get so embarassed about the state of our house, that I tell people who don't know that we are mid-renovations. We've been here 12 years (so I really have to stop trying to kid myself and others now) and I can honestly say that only our bedroom doesn't look like a pit. And that is probably only on the day that it's on the Flylady list.

    So today has been a day of flingage, with a new CS bag started and paperwork getting a serious turn out. I did have some finances to sort, but DH is joined at the hip to the laptop, so I'll wait for another day. I think we are all back to school / work tomorrow, so normality may be able to return. Apart from the fact that the builder will be back, but that's a good thing. DH is huffing and puffing at the laptop - I think I'll make us all a cuppa and shut him up!

    WUDUPA turned in to WUALTD, and breakfast didn't happen - but had a coffee with DS's dad. Everything else on Round 1 is done.

    I've had a couple of hours with Mum and Dad, walked home and unloaded WM / done another laundry shuffle.

    DS informed me he was going to the pub - I reminded him that my car is out of action. Oh - he'd not thought it through ... so I guess he was planning on asking for a lift then :D

    I've not seen Mrs Blackbird with a droopy wing for a few days :( She was waiting for me on Wednesday morning even though I went out early, and she came right up to feed and chuck 'thank you' to me. Mr Robin has moved in - I hope he hasn't bullied her away. Would he do that? I hope she made it through the Beast :(.

    I'll dry the pots later - got some athletics to watch first ;)

    ETA thank you for the hug Fayolle xx

    Bathroom painted.. it looks quite beautiful. Once the girls are in bed I am going to mint the 2 minty walls and create perfection from the desperate mess it is at the moment. I also bleached and painted over the mouldy ceiling bits in DD3's room.. it will also be beautiful.

    DD2 has brought all her stuff back from uni.. and dumped it in my empty front room.. I need her to get her own place pretty soon I think!!

    DD2 is after taking DS3 on the razzle.. should be fun, getting him out of the house!

    DD2 loaded the DW

    I am about 3/4 of the way through my dinner and I am stuffed.. I barely ate anything!

    Unlikely, I'd have thought. They eat the same kind of food and I don't think either has a reputation as a predator. I'm hoping they're just foraging further afield, rather than either dying from the cold or being predated by magpies or seagulls. Fingers crossed they'll reappear in a day or two.
    Better is good enough.
