what to expect, so we have gotten pretty good at just answering whatever.
This one, however, left both of us parental units ...

Updating post about the happenings with me and my family.  We're all doing
pretty well I guess.  Hubby had carpal tunnel surgery the end of November
and he's pretty much his old self, back to work and everything but he's
still on restricted duty.

The snowy vibes worked - yay!!!!!!!!
After anxious glances out of the window through the night (yawn!) we

Dh is having a go at quitting the smokes (yesss!!!).  I'd love all the

week. Looked in my fridge just now and my eye fell onto the Best Before
date on one of them. It was a date in November 2006! When inspecting ...

Please think snowy thoughts for us!! theres a small chance that we may
get a small amount of snow tonight. That would be a minor miracle this

a bit of ice on the puddles. Its been astonishingly mild.

Ah, so what is the next wave, then?  I mean for me to get frustrated with

I have no idea how this house got so filthy. I'm trying desperately to
make it less grubby and have been working hard all morning. Amongst
other things I cleaned the kitchen windows and scrubbed the kitchen
floor. Wet dusted all the surfaces downstairs. Still got lots to do this

Katherine is going to need a victorian costume for a museum school visit
in a couple of months. I'd like to make it soon as I think my surgery
