    Good morning all.

    Went to bed last night expecting to be out at work today as almost all the snow had melted. Wakened to 3 -4 inches of snow, it started snowing again at about 7.45 and hasn't stopped, so another snow day for me, but I still get to work from home! :confused: Thrilling!

    Anyway, dailies all done, 1st load washed and in dryer, 2nd load just finished so off to sort, fold and reload before turning my laptop on!

    Back later! :wave:

    Morning folks! :wave:

    Mozzy I buy my Yankee candles at the Metro Centre, some Collectibles stores have them too, or mainly buy online HERE yum.

    It's snowed overnight *grumble* it's not nice snow either it's icy snow and I've got lots of driving today *sigh* I can't afford not to go in cause it's my biggest pay day - oh well.

    House is ok still, I've left a note with teenie for him to do the kitchen so hopefully that will be spotless by the time I get back in tonight :cool: need to go round to OH's too and have a shower, then chill.

    Safe driving folks! x

    No more snow here and we got sunshine:j
    But, just put out charity bag for collection (flying bit) and it's FREEZING.
    Hopefully the temp. will lift a bit and I can get my driveway cleared - I need to use the car tomorrow.
    Also really need to get to shops for bread and milk.

    Oh thanks to whoever told me to take the battery out of my laptop since I run it off the mains - I finally remembered before I switched it on this morning.:o
