  • Taken it out - it's rather lovely out there. Obviously very cold but doesn't feel it if you see what I mean!
    Snowing consistently but only little flakes.

    Hi all - we had a huge dumping of snow this morning and it is now cold and I have had the oil filled radiator on all day (it has a thermostat so switches itself on and off), cancelled my business meetings (no way was I going out in the ice this morning and then the snow came exactly when I predicted it would), put some money into my business bank (its across the road) and have done some washing which is now drying in the living room where its warm. Can't be bothered to do any work today either.

    I'm not far from Manchester hun. We're apparently in a major incident here - no emergency services unless it's life or death :eek:

    Another snow day here tomorrow :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    SIL lives in Wigan and they have suspended all bus services, looks like yorkshire and lancashire are worst hit today, along with Scotland of course.

    Starting to get dark here and very very cold.....brrrr

    Somerset pork casserole with 14p new spuds will go down a treat at dinner time I think.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
