The only time I can remember my school closing (apart from heating breaking down)
was once in 85, it took me about 3 hours to walk home:eek:

Problem these days compared to then is that so many people live a long distance from their workplace.
My place of work before being made redundant was 86 miles away!!!

Morning all - my bridge is covered in snow - but clear of trolls .

.......it's snowing again here ..:eek:...Hugs to all those without power this morning....hope it;s restored soon.

I am bubble wrapping all my windows and doors today :cool:

Morning all,
Freezing here (as in most of the country)..

Lula - grrrrr to being stuck at home again because school's closed. You're right, I don't remember schools ever being closed because of snow - lot hardier then.

Numpty - that phone call is a joke, !!!!!! are they playing at?

Wol - good luck with the bubble wrapping

Hi to stampede and everyone else, hope you're managing to stay safe and warm. Rog, hope you're OK.

Have you done any work Tixy?

Erm - not much:o. Did spend quite some time on insurance comparison sites. I have managed to get to work today as otherwise I would have got very little done.

I remember being snowed in the village (car wise) so being pulled in a sledge as a toddler to and from my brother's school a couple of miles away in the next village - I guess that must have been 81 which the news bods keep mentioning was snowy.

Morning All. Its snowing here but not too heavily.

Not taking advantage of the scrappage scheme yet :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Balance of power between the central heating and the temperature outside shifted last night...and it won;t get any warmer over the next few days. As many of my windows do not have curtains (or rails ) up yet, bubble wrap seemed to be the best option to prevent heat loss....(either that or we're all moving into Piggie Palace )

I'm proud to be a southern Wuss :D

Good afternoon everybody :hello: :hello: :hello:

Sorry I haven't been about much over the last couple of days - no broadband :mad: but fixed now. :T
'Trundling' finally slithered to a halt yesterday - although they did manage to deliver to a few local 'vulnerable' customers yesterday morning. Might start again tomorrow - depending on weather - currently minus 2 (at 3pm) - the snow has now frozen, making many side roads dangerous.
Am just about to read through the thread, to catch up on everything.

Have a warm day. :wave: :wave:
