Another frosty morning!

Wow, we certainly had a heavy frost last night! Seems to have been worse than anything we have had so far over the winter though it was expected to drop to -9 overnight. We kept the heating on overnight, just in case it did get that low, though we are always warm enough in bed with the memory form mattress. John hates it in the summer as it always seems a lot warmer than a normal mattress but in the winter it is just great!

He is in the process of re-doing the bathroom at the moment....(well I can't have him slacking off just because he has no job) ...and I must admit it is coming along nicely. It still looks like a bomb site but at least it is an 'on track' bomb site! Funnily enough I am not in a major rush for it to be completed, I just want it to look good and be done properly so I will just have to be patient.

We are still waiting for the redundancy money to be paid into the bank as we have a couple of new higher interest accounts ready to put the money into. Normal savings accounts are paying such low interest rates it is not worth using them. As we have no real need (hopefully) to touch the majority of the funds we are happy to lock them away for a while as long as we are getting a decent comeback on them and they are safe.

Anyway I am off to brave the frost outside! I think it is definitely time to get the old peruvian style head gear on! It may not look good but it certainly keeps the cold at bay! Back later!
