Spread your wings and fly away

It has been a successful day.

I have cleared 4 baskets of ironing and made a shepherd's pie for tea which was delicious. However beginning to get worried, Nig hasn't returned from work yet or answered my texts, not like him to let me know what is happening! Hopefully he has just been caught in traffic or is doing a private job!

Kids are busy revising their christmas lists (again), too much time on their hands.

Not done any exercise today which is not good. Raining hard outside, not really walking weather, and can't get to my stepper as Nig has planted a big box of heavy rubbish in it and I can't move it!!

Well off to do some stitching now.

Not so nerdy but apparently not cool either!

Like I didn't already know that

It is raining absolutely bucketing down!

The only reason I did manage to emerge from my warm comfortable bed was because my mother phoned.

Hubby moaning this morning that it was cold. He says the bathroom is an icebox! Asked him if that was a hint for me to put the heating on, he says "Thought it was on!" Then " why isn't it"

To be honest because apart from the freezing bathroom and hallway, it isn't that cold in the house. The hallway and bathroom are always cold they are on the end of the house next to open fields and woods so yes it will feel cold. Hopefully once we get the cavity wall insulation installed then it won't feel so cold! I am holding off putting the heating on for the moment mainly because once it does go on I always come down with a cold. i layer up and am encouraging the kids to do so as well, though Nig is a pain, he will insist upon wearing t shirts then complaining about how cold he is

Today I will try and do some ironing, it is piling up now and really needs to be done. That is my job for today then back to the sewing!
