    We already had an inch of snow when I woke up in the early hours but it's coming down thick and fast now. It looks gorgeous out there but I still haven't ventured out. I have mixed up lots of goodies for the birds, though, and will go and put it all out after breakfast. Heaven knows, they'll need it.

    If anyone has no choice but to travel today, please take it easy - arriving late is better than not arriving at all.

    morning all!

    we have snow in Worcestershire! not really pleased though as DH is out in it delivering his milk and DS is supposed to go to college 20 miles away but I think I will ring in as its supposed to get worse here later - dont want him gettingstuck there.
    DH had to be towed by the snow plough this morning:eek: this was in Ludlow(shropshire)he's off to Herefordshire now to finish his round - we live on the border of the 3 counties.
    I've got the day off so no problems for me, I'm off to the docs this afternoon but I will walk. I'm going for my repeat smear, I've had 2 lots of treatment already and was going to have a hysterectomy but they decided to wait and see what happened instead:rolleyes: . Not looking forward to it but I know its very important to get it done.
    OS plans
    hang washing on airers
    got leftover lentil cottage pie for tea
    not much else going on here ATM

    Diva - am so glad that Tristan is responding, continuing to think of him xxx

    Please be careful on the roads everyone

    take care xxx

    Halight - good luck at the job centre x
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Good morning

    I haven't been on here for well over a year, since I first started work full-time. But this morning DH rang me to say don't bother going in - he has already taken over an hour and is not yet at work, and it's about 8 miles to where he works, and I have to go 5 miles further than him. Also, it's snowing heavily there, although it seems to have eased up a bit here.

    So I am having a day off and thought I would pop in here and say hello.

    so,

    Hello! :hello:

    I have missed dropping by daily!
  • Good morning everyone,it's realy pretty here.We have an icing sugar sprinkling of snow and since it's just getting light for some reason the sky is all pink and lilac.I'm just sitting here with the blinds open in bed enjoying the view.
    I've had my washing in so it should be just ready to peg out and I've got the weekly clean to start today.
    You have to laugh at us in this country don't you,we get a titchy few inches of snow and we think the world's going to collapse.It always amuses me to see people's reactions.I'm beginning to wonder if the country's been turned upside down though since you southeners seem to be getting all the weather we northerners usually get.Strange realy.
    Happy about the good news MSD,hope things continue this way.
    Tru, have you had words with your neighbour about the mouse problem.I would since if she also has them and does'nt get rid of them they'll only just keep coming back.My daughter had this problem and until her neighbour took action she was just wasting her time and money trying to get rid of them as they always re-appeared.
    Take care of yourselves everyone.Keep warm and safe and try and have a good day.......

    Good Morning all

    We have at least 4 inches of snow here in Kent. DH has gone to work and I haven't heard from him and he hasn't come back, so the roads must have improved. DS works in a school and found out about 10 mins ago that its shut for today so he's a happy bunny, I'm not cos I've got housework to do and he will be under my feet :rolleyes: Have a Tesco delivery lunchtime, hope he gets up my hill ok.

    MSD - glad to hear the good news about Tristan, hope he carries on improving.

    No sign of N9eav yet on here - hangover??? :D

    Have a safe and warm day everyone

    morning all

    snowing here too cars and grass white but the roads are bare, plenty of salt on them
    dreading the fuel bills when they arrive this month have tried to be frugal but the weather has been so cold
    had a nice afternoon with dd, dh and the boys tenpin bowling on saturday

    am trying to use up the contents of the freezer and storecupboard and not buy in so much, have noticed farmfoods have upped their prices a lot recently but lidl are worth a look and their luxury muesli at £1.49 is very nice also always look for the cheaper loose apples in asda currently 37p a kilo normally 63p, jonagold and very sweet and juicy the variety varies but always good, why pay more

    Diva thats is very encouraging news about Tristan

    Halight i always enjoy reading your posts

    hugs to all who need one xx
