I woke up this morning to our first snowstorm of the year! It looks like about 10cms of the white stuff and it is heavy and wet. School buses are delayed and there is a car stuck in the snow just up the road.
Well, our old clothes dryer is pretty much dead, fortunately it managed to do half loads and we were able to finish a load of laundry. We decided to upgrade to a new washer as well, so they will be arriving soon. Things have changed in the last decade, and I'm sure we'll be impressed with all the new features. We really just got a basic set, nothing too fancy, but there have still been improvements. I told M I couldn't get excited about a new washer or dryer (basic white's just fine). I thought the most important things would be capacity and whether the company would take the old ones away for us.
We gave some 'Quality Street' chocolates to K's orthodontist and his staff the other night. The receptionist thanked us and assured us they would be enjoyed. A bit later on, the brilliant, busy, young doctor himself strolled out to the reception area to thank me personally, to say that I shouldn't have, and to wish me a Merry Christmas. Well, I had a big smile on my face for a bit! All I could think of to say was 'Don't work too hard', to which he replied 'I'm actually going to take a few weeks off for Christmas for the first time.' It can really be more gratifying to give than receive.
SoccerMom has this video on her blog today and I just had to share it. Bear with us!

Stripteast? Whoa. now was that tease to make someone have to read just what on earth Christine was talking about? LOL. Well, I am very glad you are joining the Create Tuesdays co-op. I hope it will be more fun that drudgery for people. I will do my best to keep it that way, and btw, feel free to send me any suggestions for themes too.
Yes, a dryer is a dryer. that's all I care about. it doesn't have to befancy.
Quality street? Yum. Not available here though bu tis in Canada, isn't it? As are choc digestives too from Carr's adn such.
Is it getting cold there yet, btw?
Mmm, there actually is a 'strip tease' video in the post, but now that I think about it, the raunchy humour may not be your thing anyway!
Of course I had to join your Create Tuesday, love the 'Festive' theme. And yes, it's cold here!
That's so sweet of you to give a present to the orthodontist. It's always wonderful to be appreciated. And it does feel good to be the giver, doesn't it?
Ok, it shows where I'm coming from when I can be more excited by your new washer and dryer than the striptease video. :-D LOL! We've still got little machines on this side of the world.
I love Quality Street chocolates!!
Kay, I think you understand just what I mean.
Japra, I was so thinking of you when we were doing the half loads in the dryer!
