    no snow here yet, very hard frost and my driveway has another layer of thick ice from the storm drain water.

    For any twitterers out there, this is real time snow app

    on a totally separate subject - I've had my bargainous hot diamond earrings arrive. Bit of overkill on the packaging - black shoe box full of black shredded paper, a glossy brochure, a ribbon wrapped box which contains a really solid moleskin hinged box which contains a drawstring bag with the earrings in it, each earring in a separate plastic bag which are also in a plastic bag!!

    Ryan's school is open - he is mortified! Crazy amount of snow here and it's still coming down.

    mucho snow here in Leeds. Decided not to take piccolina to the play group this morning, especially as it hasn't stopped snowing since first thing! It looks very seasonal but I have the fire on and the central heating as it was FREEZING earlier.

    Hope you have a very happy birthday squiz.

    10cm is forecast for the south coast starting later on. As long as it's all gone by the time I need to go back to work I don't mind, although ex is doing supply on Friday so I'll definitely have to venture out then.

    Save the box and shredded paper for a gift for someone else (save on wrapping!)

    Kids happy now they've had eggy bread for breakfast and hot chocolate Aero drink! :rolleyes:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
