    Molly sorry to hear about your DS - this letting them grow up business is soooo difficult when you just want to still protect them and make things ok just like you always have done.

    morning

    snowing heavily here in south yorkshire. buses have stopped running , had to walk to work :-(

    :hello:nice to see someone else from South Yorkshire!! I am in walking distance of work and really counted myself lucky for that today!!! Some people did really well getting home from my work - Sheffield city centre.

    Don't know what it's meant to be like tomorrow??? Think alot of the tram delays were due to car stuck on track. Keep warm x

    We have had fine snow all day, I guess we have about 2" now, hope we do not get much more, its OH's appointment tomorrow at the hospital to see if we can get to the bottom of what uis going on. He has been ok since Christmas Eve.....

    I have had the gas bill for last month £71.00 considering the weather it is not too bad, we pay monthly as we go along......so during the spring and summer we do not pay so much. I had allowed £35 for the electric it came in at £ 27, so not bad at all. I am going to leave the heating on tonight, will turn it down so its not too warm, I can turn it up when we get up. at 7am to be ready for the hopefully transport to the hospital. The main roads tend to be kept clear so heres hoping.

    We have to make a journey north next week for a couple of days I hope the weather has eased by then. It will be miserable if we are driving through snow storms.

    Supper tonight egg and chips with apple and plum crumble for dessert. scrummy.......
