    Am actually feeling pretty peed off as today & tomorrow I should have had both children at school and DH at work and should have been able to get on. Now everyones at home and I wont be able to do a thing and they'll make mess :mad: Does that sound mean?

    ETA Greenbee - I found this site yesterday which is quite good for major disruption http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/ We've just had blizzard like weather here although not big flakes more like small hailstones
    thanks for the update... I'm reviewing ALL the traffic sites... all of which say different things :rolleyes: (a bit like the weather sites :p - apparently it was -13 here last night and is currently -8 but I don't actually have a thermometer outside).

    How about doing something nice as a family given that you've got some unexpected time together? Worry about the flying later. Or... bribe them with doing something nice and ask them to help you quickly get Wednesday finished and Level 1 throughout the house. With the four of you it shouldn't take that long to get the floors cleared and cleaned.

    Must get dressed... it's too cold to be sitting around in my PJs & dressing gown!

    ETA - FB is down... what am I going to do? More importantly... what's jinky going to do ;):p:p

    I know I should but I Never get any time to myself usully as whenever I get home from work they are always here, there is no ME time and as for asking them to help me, you're having a laugh. Oh well I really am going to do something now even if its only breakfast as DH is up and lurking and doesnt appear to be in a very good mood!

    Okay now I've found my list, I just have to get some motivation for doing it. Also need to dig out my wedding planning stuff coz shopping for my friend yesterday really brought home how soon it is:eek:....and I've only booked the legal bit (which is the most important I know)

    Washing machine is on, pots have been relegated to the kichen ( I may wash them later) and rest of uniform is waiting to go in washer ( I'm only at work this afternoon, no biggie:p) I feel so disorganised right now.

    Ok going for a HHC...9.35 -10.05....where has the day gone?....:eek:

    Son's got a new paper round - hope it is going ok in the snow - hard work that

    He's just got back (luckily school is closed) Over 2 hours his round took him this morning:eek: Very slippery! He phoned me and said he wanted to give it up... but when he got home he said he wont be giving it up as it wasn't that bad really!:rotfl:

    Post hasn't been delivered the last couple of days BUT the poor paper boys/girls still had to go out:confused:

    EDIT: Forgot that he didn't do it yesterday as roads were closed so papers didn't arrive

    I'm doing bathroom today :)
