    Beanie - these are the snow grip things that I got for my shoes. Would recommend them as they just give you that much more confidence when walking in the snow.

    Are they grippy enough for running?

    Well would probably be better than nothing, but I wouldn't risk them myself. I think there are some you can get with little spikes on which perhaps would be better for running?

    Cool. I'm itching to start running again but having slipped and broken my arm a few years ago am too nervous to go out while there's still icy patches:o

    I have just finished watching Miss potter and for once I feel quiet contented with my life and happy to be single....

    Then I come on here and read about yuour situation Sally and Bookie and I am now in tears. Why oh why is the world like this? Why is it set up that those that work hard, cause no trouble and put a hell of a lot of work in society get no help when they become stuck. Yet ones that dont get handed it without question. I wish I had a magic wand sometimes I really do...

    And with that I am off to bed and I shall take my rant elsewhere :D
