T-Bird Anni Rides Again

no one blown away or snowed in? 

 There has been a minor excitement in our local shopping area with these gentle breezes today but thankfully nothing major.  2 of the 3 local hospitals closed their doors to all but serious cases though and we’ve just been stood down having been asked to standby in case we were needed to help out the statutory services.  Aparently the worse is over?  Oh, apart from the snow that’s forcast for all of next week…. PLEASE don’t let it snow whilst I’m driving to Melrose!!!!  I HATE driving in the snow!!!!

Anyway, on to the rest of the day….  I didn’t quite finish everything I wanted to do but things are noticably better anyway and I can chip away at the rest over the next week.  I would have finished but I went for a nice long swim for an hour instead

Aprilia had fun with my dad and had a very pleasant sounding meal out with him during whcih she was complimented by people on one of the other tables for how lovely and polite etc she was so obviously yesterday’s vile behaviour is out of her system (phew!) 

She had a bit of PC time this evening and I wandered in to see what she ws looking at adn was seriously impressed… she was playing on DanceMat Typing which is nothing new, she does like that game, but she was actually using the right fingers!  I was so impressed!! 

Tomorrow we find out if Asda is open or if we need to "slum it" and go to Morrisons instead (or conversley push the boat out and go to Tesco!)  We could possibly last til Sunday assuming no one minds slightly stale bread but we are busy on Sunday so I’d just rather not. 

and in need of a sit down!

So far I’ve evicted a pile of STUFF from the floor on Dukes side of the bed which was big enough to cover our double bed totally and rise up about 3′ in a mound    Most of it was discarded bathtowels (which now creates another problem… the towel cupboard is full and now I’ve found another 10!!) and clothing, no idea what was clean and what was dirty so I’ve shoved it all into his unit (baaad wifey!)

This allowed me to get the steps close enough to the units to drag everything off the tops so I could sort that out.  I looked hard at the nappies and randome baby stuff.  It got halfway out of the room for recycling then got put tidily back into bags and popped back on top of the unit (much more neatly and tidily than it was before so it was half a result )  There is a bit of stuff for freecycling and a bit of stuff that just needs flinging (electornic toys given to us years ago for Aprilia to "grow into" that never had batteries taken out etc) and there is now a humumgous amount of space up there for me to re-home stuff like the Christmas boxs and the camp stuff that doesn’t want to be in the garage.

This afternoon I am going to pull out the stuff from the shelves (put up to house all the crap we couldn’t put anywhere else) and purge them with an eye to converting the shelves into a dressing table for me.  I think I’m big enough now to want grown up things like a nice place to put my hair brush don’t you?

If I get through all that without collapsing and Aprilia is still out then the next job is to pull everything out of my unit and purge the clothes then put what i keep back in there neatly.
