Update

Well J did very well in his mock exams - well done and keep it up.

P is decorating the bathroom - yay! Managed to persuade him to stick to white skirting boards not green. Think he's about to go all creative with a mural on the wall.

He and J are also busy making model aeroplanes for a show later in the year. I just don't get the model aeroplane thing. 

P made me a lovely lunch today - game pie and chocolate pudding - yum.

Brrr

Woke up to snow again this morning but not much. J reluctantly agreed to take his coat which was just as well as the traffic was so bad P had to drop him off and he walked the last bit. Inability to feel the cold runs in P's family. The third Christmas we had at P's dads I finally plucked up courage to ask if we could have some form of heating - P's dad had no heating at all until he lit the fire at 4pm and Christmas was no exception. It wasn't an insulated house like ours it was just plain freezing. He, P and J looked at me like I was completely weird - 'she wants heating???'. Anyway they agreed to light the fire for me.

I like it when it snows cos I can turn on the heater and snuggle up in nice warm clothes and fleecy blankets and my family can't deny that it's cold.

P and I went to town and I bought a jacket - a pale khaki green one. This is cos we've been invited to a 'smart casual' dinner and I'm trying to find something to wear. Wonder if I could get away with my green and brown floral skirt with boots??
