Ths sun has got his hat on

but its still very cold, there was a slight overnight frost, but by the time I went out the car had defrosted.

Decided to sort out the back bedroom ready for DB to sleep in there, I have sorted it so we have plugs for his equipment.

We stayed out for lunch yesterday, so when we got back I set to and cooked chicken and also sorted the swede and potato's for the haggis. I did the haggis in the microwave and the veg in The ninja, I had cut up the swede very small, it takes ages to cook otherwise, mashed it in with the potato with a knob of butter and some nutmeg. We finished it off, so no dessert. I have a carton of the swede/potato mash in the freezer.

A quick dash out to the post office to get some cash for next month. I have changed our bank account so now we have to go into Melton once a month to draw cash, so will time it with an Aldi click and collect.

DB out in the garden for an hour in the sun. The bulbs I planted in the pots are showing through, some of the shrubs have been damaged by the frost, so a job for the gardener when he starts back next month. The snow drops are out and the grape hyacinths are also starting to push the flowers up.

I have the washer on an intensive run with the cleaner in it. I doubt there is much muck in it, I use washing soda with each wash load.

Call to the council, our blessed toilet is leaking again, both from the water inlet to the cistern and also where the water from the cistern goes in the toilet, the  bung has shot out yet again. Thats at least 3 times in the last few months I have had to have them out. On the point of actually buying one myself and getting M to fit it. Its the councils responsibility, the number of times they have been out to it, they could have put a new one in.

So supper tonight is chicken and rice, will finish the jelly off for dessert.
