No title

Brrrr it's cooooold here.  After the warmest January on record (allegedly) it's now the turn of the coldest February. Heavy snow forecast for Wed night/Thurs morning. Do you think I'll get a day off work?!  I've got the gas fire roaring and I'm toasty warm but on the way home I was really cold on the train. Usually, and I'm sure all commuters are the same, I like to sit in the same place on the train, more or less, and that is the place where there is no underseat heating because I find it too hot. But tonight I actually changed places to get a seat that was a bit warmer! That's how cold it was LOL. 

I realised something today that deserves a celebration:  I am up to date with my Council Tax for the first time since I was made redundant 7 years ago. The mind boggles but I'm proud I did it!  My finances are finally coming under control thanks to my new job and increased earning power, and that was the main reason for leaving the hospital.

Ooh silly me, almost forgot what I got in the post today!  I put an order through to Mel at A Trip Down Memory Lane and it arrived so quickly, I'm most impressed. It's my first stash order in a looooooong time.  I got some Phresh and Phunky Basic Grey papers, some black cardstock, some adhesive, some gorgeous rub-on flourishes and some rub-on stitches too. And my favourite, some Heidi Swapp Journaling Spots. In my parcel Mel's mum (thank you!) added some pretty narrow ribbon to colour coordinate with the papers. What a sweet gesture!  I'm so looking forward to doing some scrapping!

Off to bed in a minute - I'm really looking forward to snuggling under the duvet tonight :)
