Love the look of those hangers Tete! Making me want to start sewing again now

Hope Mrs Poolie and CMD are alright! Isn't getting much better over here, depending on the weather might not be able to see OH on Christmas which is a stinker Meant to be going to his house to drop of presents tomorrow but if it snows like it did yesterday there isn't much chance of that either! Hope everyone is nice and snug though

I was watching GMTV news this morning and I couldn't believe they featured 2" in Luton as their heavy snowfall, and they had drivers 'struggling' on completely clear roads! We have at least 6" here and they haven't cleared the roads, I'd love to see black road again rather than pale grey!

Are they actually clearing any roads? Because they havent cleared any here due to 'shortages of salt'.

Keep being told only travel if really neccessary - well yes work is neccessary or i have no money to pay the bills!

In Durham on Saturday night they sent the gritters out AFTER the snow - I mean come on, it was forecast!

They do seem pretty useless when it comes to sorting out roads when it's been snowing

I feel awful today, all coughy and a mess! Been doing some STP to take my mind off it, isn't too bad today as they have a scout room open for music from a 'secret partner' it's all classic songs so at least my ears aren't hurting.

Hi all,

Thanks for your concern, your all lovely on this thread.

Myself and OH are booked on to a flight to Dublin tonight (from Brussels). Had to get my parents to pack my bags for Xmas and they are flying from the UK to Ireland tonight.

It has been very stressful and I am feeling very teary today (not sure if pregnancy hormones) but we are better off than a lot.

Hope Mrs Poolie is okay.

Please all cross your fingers that we get home

Fingers crossed for you CMD. I was reading on the BBC news about a lady who is stranded in brussels 34 weeks pregnant and not allowed to fly, so very glad you still can!

No gritters here either, just a snowplough on the main roads.... doesn't help the ice much!

It is just pure luck that I brought my materniety notes and it has my fir to fly letter from the doctor (that I was using to get to Dublin tonight). Other than that I would be stranded too. I really feel for that poor lady.

Eurostar have been useless as well. There is no priority list and they didn't announce until 9pm last night that there were no trains today. They are also advising pregnant women to go to Calais which is a trek and they have to make it there themselves, then they are not guaranteeing that they can get on at Calais. It is a joke, they are appauling.

Poolie

Well about 11pm last night, Mrs Poolie and sister found a flight for tomorrow coming back on 2nd which was the original date. Total price EACH £1800!!!!!

They have taken it so thye can get over and have a holiday.

Will travel insurance or something cover that?! Thats insane!!!
