I have a gas mask for me, but not for a horse - or the horse either for that matter, but could potentially borrow one..
 
I bet there were quite a few bemused looks up and down the country after you all went out and tried yesterday's workout! 😱 😉 Back to the domestic today, proving that housework can be good for your health 🙂

She looks like I feel when faced with a basket of ironing....
 
I hate ironing! Before I moved in with my OH I moved flats and he got me an iron and ironing board as an house warming present! I almost inserted the ironing board somewhere...... Wonder how many calories that would have burned!

Of all the possibilities for today (building a snowman, having a snowball fight, clearing snow off the car, making snow angels...) the task is ironing o_O

... why do you have a gas mask?
 
I don’t do ironing (or very rarely). A few years ago I realised that I needed the most important criterion when buying clothes to be that it doesn’t need ironing.
Unfortunately I don’t have enough hanging space for 4 seasons’ clothes so with the best folding techniques I do occasionally iron something at the change of season but never after laundry!

I dropped my iron and it broke 😱 That was about three years ago, and I haven't felt the need to replace it yet....! 😱 🙂
 
The little girl looks like she is bursting for a wee:D
Mum and Dad don't look too enamoured about it either!
 
The thing that always gets me about pictures like this is that the bloke is probably in his mid to late-20s, but looks at least 50! 😱
 
I'm seeing The Wurzels live tomorrow night, is that close enough?
 
Hope everyone managed to secure an animal and made a few bob yesterday! 🙂 Today's exercise will mostly involve shivering and potential hypothermia, so take a flask of hot cocoa along with you! 😱 :D
