Morning all - we still haven't managed to get out but deffo going today we at least need some basics to eat

Can we have some rain please? It's been snowing a little bit here again this morning although don't really want it to freeze. I lost most of yesterday as 2 nights of worry meant I hadn't slept was up at 6 went back to bed at 8 and then finally came to just before 12.

I finished my cross stitch yesterday - it's winnie the pooh on a block for a baby that was born on 22nd October (oops) I'm going to make it into a cushion once I'm brave enough to go into the conservatory to get the fabric - don't want to disappear under a landslide of snow when I try and get the door open :rotfl:

Good luck with your fair this morning Gemma - very strange day to have one lol!

Bad news about the screen Flourgirl as an ex wife of a windscreen fitter (Autoglass) as long as you're fully comp and you have windscreen cover you will only have to pay the excess and they sort it all out with your insurance company so you just have to sign for it. The only problem you might have is the cold as the glue they use doesn't work below a certain temperature so unless you can get it inside with both doors open you might have to drive it into the depot and wait while they do it and the glue dries

Wonder if the school will be open tomorrow otherwise I'll have a whole load more problems

Lazy Towers here - I had the best sleep for weeks last night so didn't surface 'til after 10 :eek: now I've had my cuppa got to get moving. All the rain has frozen so it looks v. pretty but lethal!

Gemma - hope your fair is a roaring success.

Rainmac - hope you enjoy your pre Christmas meet up.

Padster - I so know how that sleeping the morning away feels - it used to happen lots for me but not for a while - hope you manage to get out for supplies and see a bit of the rest of the world - it helps.

Rusty - thanks for extending your challenge - I felt bad I hadn't met the first deadline.

Flourgirl - glad you managed to get out though I can imagine it wasn't easy. Hope you get your car sorted soon.

CT1972 Grrrrr (*^&"££$££$$ Royal Mail !!! I will get you another parcel sent off... this week.
Wonder where all this missing stuff disappears too ? What with ATCs and stash parcels someone must be having a great time lol. It should of been with you a few weeks ago..

Flourgirl Sorry to hear about your windscreen too, im still sat at home going stir crazy.. Its just too risky to get the car out the garage. Lots of abandoned cars on our road so would be a nightmare trying to navigate through them.

Gemm Hope you have a really bust day at the Craft Fair

Hugs and stay warm wishes to everyone.. Ive got a date with a chicken and a slow cooker lol.. Im sooo full of cold that i just cant be bothered to stand and cook

My leg and metalwork is soo painful when its cold..I'm also hoping that school are shut in morning as i dont want to risk driving and getting stuck again

Will pop back later and catch up properly xx

Choccy living on a main road in the village has its advantages plus its flat here so once the roads are clear its easier to get out with the land rover. My car is still in the garage

I posted a birthday card with a £20 note inside to Plymouth last monday from inside the post office and it still hasn't arrived!!! I am hoping it does turn up now the worst weather is over.

Woooo Hooo .... way to go girl!!! Congratulations xx

:wall:Knock knock............. can i come back please?:hello:

I have had a busy few days, with 1 thing or another

I haven't really got much to say :cool:

Our snow is going now, so Rainmac i will finally be able to get your birthday card in the post! Sorry it is so late!

For the people that were asking about Secret Santa, i think as long as you get it sent to make sure it gets there before christmas is fine. I think the sooner the better, i intend to send mine by the end of this week. I will be putting a card in with mine, but it is personal preference, i think.

Congratulations to our winners :T

I was wondering if the address list has been updated lately?

Stay warm everyone

Well done winning person! Gorgeous card BTW

We got out :j:j and Tesco's had everything we wanted - not taking OH again coz I spent £92:eek: but won't have to go for another week probably.

Spent over an hour digging the car out there was at least as much as I dug on Monday and again on Tuesday. OH got out 2nd go having nearly taken the back off my car and then asked me if I wanted to try and get mine out to see if I could manage it in the morning - wall one side OH's car the other neighbours directly behind - can you guess what I said? :rotfl::rotfl:

PS - the cat is better now she's discovered how to sneeze properly and we haven't heard any more about my little bump in his car
