But sorry to hear you've been having the January blues. I hope your new plans will help improve things for the future. A dryer is a big help in our damp climate!<br />Wishing you a happy week, Simone.<br />Helen xHelen Philippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085327303967055337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-4875586968437906502013-01-17T13:11:07.263+00:002013-01-17T13:11:07.263+00:00Getting washing dry in these damp and cold months ...Getting washing dry in these damp and cold months is a bind isn't it. We always have things draped over the bannister and the indoor line hanging over the stairs always seems to be full. Looking forward to when the washing smells of fresh air again!<br />We haven't had any snow either as yet, it's been trying all morning but has now turned sleety.<br />Hope you are feeling less blue.<br />Lisa xLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286339918056081955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-42083160173097469802013-01-15T18:01:59.927+00:002013-01-15T18:01:59.927+00:00My friend swears by these

I know the 'dead rat' smell too from a time,years ago, when a shop next door to where I worked put rat poison under their floorboards before they vacated the premises - it took weeks to sort it out and the smell lingered for ages. I think January is the worst month for feeling low so give yourself little treats to get through - we're halfway there!!:) Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-83525702107731086812013-01-15T00:53:05.392+00:002013-01-15T00:53:05.392+00:00So sun where we are trying to avoid the heat, it h...So sun where we are trying to avoid the heat, it hard to think of your long cold slow days, I say go for the dryer.greenthumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067004547876814633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-35207188816180680972013-01-15T00:51:46.811+00:002013-01-15T00:51:46.811+00:00The January blues are common around here, too, Sim...The January blues are common around here, too, Simone. But today we had an unexpected perk - a relatively warm day for winter, with nice sunshine! As I walked outside I heard a few people say that they had abandoned their household tasks to get outside and enjoy the weather! But we will be back to cold temperatures tomorrow.<br />I find that, on a "blue" day, my best comfort comes from being creative or cleaning out an untidy spot in my house! At least I feel like I have accomplished something!! xxJudy Hartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895216025016558102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-43881568485371246392013-01-14T22:24:38.577+00:002013-01-14T22:24:38.577+00:00It is a miserable time of year, but it will pass. ...It is a miserable time of year, but it will pass.

It feels like the middle of the night when we get up for work then it is dark when we go home, I wanted to go for a walk in the snow this morning but just had to watch it through the classroom window. It had gone all slushy by lunchtime and the children were not happy! Glad things are looking a bit brighter, just think it is half way through the month, not long until spring!

I feel I could just hibernate at the moment, getting to work in a morning is such a trial - scraping windscreens, unfreezing locks and then having cold air circulate round my legs for most of my journey while the car heater warms up - I would much prefer to be in my warm cosy bed a bit longer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-38501141361841149102013-01-14T17:49:51.937+00:002013-01-14T17:49:51.937+00:00Oh poor Gizmo, bet he still plays up tonight thoug...Oh poor Gizmo, bet he still plays up tonight though to get his own back..........LOL!
