You too LC,wouldn't mind a holiday though ...up in Scotland overlooking the mountains - utter bliss! It's ok, just dreamin :rolleyes:
I heard that LC 2, watch it!Sue-UU,no fences meant, honest!
I hope you and hubby are ok too and keeping yourselves safe and warm.
Actually not sure about us having more snow than you, at one point it was melting here and snowing with you guys so it could be debatable. Although what's not debatable is that as a country we are prepared for it so it's no big deal and everything carries on as usual. I really feel for you all having to struggle with impassable roads, school closures, panic buying etc, that's just ridiculous. And what's worse for you guys is the cold and damp, we don't have the damp here and that makes a BIG difference.
Just make sure you all look after each other.
We will Kerfuffle! See what yo mean about the snow, though nr PG they're sick of it and from photos I've had, can see what they mean!! :eek:
We've had it worse over here before, but same old thing, are never prepared for it, especially this year. A lot more schools could have been open, should have too, including our local ones! I think it's all too often seen as an excuse for stopping home and having fun - yep, teachers included!
A £1 in the pot for me.... from DH's pocket!!!! Hiya sparky!

On another note, the landlady of my local seems to have turned the whole place over to cats, there used to be stills of B&W movies on all the wallks, now one wall is pics of cats and cat related images and another is a wall of cats that need homes. The sign now has cats painted on it (portraits of the various cats the pub has owned and adopted) and there are cat silhouettes in the windows, there is even a specially commissioned cat that is named after a cat that sort of adopted the pub!!!
Anyone would think that she liked cats!!

Seems I haven't been there for a while, it is still very much going strong
The landlady of your local has a boss name "Flossy Parsons", she should change the name of the pub to the cats whiskers :rotfl::rotfl:

Hiya Sue,
See you're still pocket raiding, and encouraging the other ladies on here to join in, even my DW is at it, and she's not even a fully fledged member, she cleared my pockets the other day, when IO told her that the coins were supposed to go into the sealed pot, she just said, you should have put them in the night before then :mad:

Thanks for the comments guys she is asleep on me now. She is so spoilt , sleeps in a humans bed at night only eats food she looks is obsessed with coffee if you take her for a walk she will walk for maybe 1-2minutes then beg to be carried lol.
She is also the boss of our 18month old German Shepard lol
20p for the sealed pot today x:money:
Jess,
My DW is definitely jealous now, her other favourite dog is the German Shepard, she nags me about getting one, mind you if she had her way we would have a house full of dogsSparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002.

Evening kerfuffle,
You don't rent out rooms do you?
