    Chaps came up trumps for MD. Chocolates and some raspberry canes. What I wanted. Saw a ride on lawnmower for sale on gumtree so OH and I went and bought that today. Needs a bit of work but hopefully a profit to be made.

    Spoke to my mum, she was ok and sister was there, 2 birds one stone.

    Chaps are busy cooking roast pork and DD1 has made chocolate brownie, yum.

    My OH does garden machinery and other stuff, it's to go in the shop when its had some repairs. DS2 has got a lawnmower that hes taken the deck off and the govenor and zooms up and down the lane. We tried to use it to pull a sledge but it got a flat tyre.

    That sounds great V.

    Lots of snow here, went to work with DH as I wasn't brave enough to drive. Tried to look out the bedroom window this morning but couldn't see as it was iced up on the inside!

    Got my nose buried in a trilogy of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, currently just started the third one.

    Sounds awful L. Bad enough here in London but at least the snow didn't settle yesterday and has held off so far today. Even had some sun earlier! Just hope it doesn't snow later. I'm a real wimp about icy pavements!
