    You're right Greenbee - the south grinds to a halt when there's 1cm let alone more.

    Our little snow flurry was short lived. But I have made contingency plans to get to work in the morning - it is actually within walking distance (long walk!) so I have located my walking boots and socks just in case...

    Oh and Toots - I'll have a bedroom and living room star when you have a moment please - you seemed to have forgotten my bathroom star too....

    Its been snowing here today but not lying yet. Its freezing and Ive just looked out the landing window and I can see ice. Got a couple more last minute presents today. DD got the boots she wanted. Went to Mr As with DD and we were in there ages. Im so glad I got the windows at the back done as its warmer in here than it was last year. Just seen we have a severe weather warning.

    serena Glad you had a lovely day in France.
    kiwiblue Welcome.

    Evening all

    I'm start to flag now after my silly early start. Kids are obsessed with checking the weather. We had non settling snow earlier but nothing at the moment.

    Time for a list update:

  • Triker - no exactly what you mean. (I think) Never mind it will soon be easter.
    flying wise - ploughing through the lounge, really having a bad day, feel like hibernating.
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:
