    That sounds really scary L - sorry to hear about that. We've had lots of snow and we've got more forecast all week. Great......

    At least you were all safe and no damage done.

    That sounds horrible Lucielle, glad you are home safe and sound.

    We had snow this morning that stuck but then the sun came out and it was gone within the hour, and to think I thought we were having signs of spring recently! xxx

    It was very scary and none of the chaps wanted to get back in. Feeling a lot calmer now.

    I was driving past Liverpool this morning to get DD1 and couldn't believe it was snowing.

    I can't say I blame them. My OH had trouble getting my car through the snow on Thursday afternoon lots of skidding and wheel spinning but nothing quite as dramatic as your experience.

    Unfortuantely we both have to been somewhere tomorrow which means he gets the 4x4 and I get my own car - Eck lets hope the snow isn't too bad overnight.

    Worth having a beer or glass of something for medicinal purposes perhaps? :)

    Yep on my third I think and then off to evict OH from the bath then I can have one.

    I need all the spend from this weekend to go through then I can see if we have any spare cash to throw at amex. 2 children off to scout camp this weekend but have got the money put away for that.
