    elfen : Live in Clanfield just up the A3 from Pompey, OH says he's never seen snow this bad - he's a southerner...as a Shropshie Lass myself this snow seems pretty normal lol!

    oh, and by the way, does anyone on here know where I can find a list of the free quidco cashbacks...remember seeing it ages ago but have done a search and it isn't coming up?! Thanks!

    just been to sweep the non-icy side of the drive because the snow has covered the big ice patch and Asda are due any time soon. Almost slipped on where I'd cleared - it is a bit slushy and is going to freeze hard tonight.

    I HATE my driveway.

    And, whilst typing.......Asda have called and cancelled the delivery......there's not exactly much of it :rolleyes:

    Better re-order I guess.

    In the second one you could see how mad he was becoming. Ended up entangled in his lead more than once :rolleyes: Oh and the reason why he is on his lead is his recall cant be trusted and our garden is semi open :rolleyes:

    Ohhh Bath is still on as long as the trains are running :D Mum abandoned her car half way up the hill out of our 'area'. However lil bro got all the way to work (we all work in the same area) so he is bringing Mum home and he will drop us at the station tomorrow :D

    Could be Sadies brother! ( ...or ?)
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

  • Heya all,

    Woo hoo snow day for me :) I work at one of the Uni's in Bristol and we have been told no work today! DD's school shut too so she is a happy bunny and has gone off to reek some teenage havoc with her pals in the snow, bet I won't see her till the end of the day now crazy kid! She just wanted a couple of quid to get a bag of chips for lunch, wish my life was soooo simple!

    Planning on having a chill day today, cups of tea and my book and maybe a bit of telly :) Nice!

    Hello Donner, I wondered how you were getting on. Do you still have a diary :confused: I remember when you were on GMTV :D

    nik - I'm on the m27 junction 2 before segensworth. According to Pint, the M27 is still blocked and the A27 is nearly at a standstill. Luckily his mate has a land rover, so we're going to use that to go sledging.

    Think it may still be as bad as last night ,as so many people just abandoned their cars and decided to walk. One woman left Waterlooville at 7:30, and had got to Wallington 4 hours later, and was going to walk the rest of the way.

    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Dennis just picked his way through the garden shaking his paws every step or two, he sniffled at the Christmas tree and a huge blob of snow fell of the branch and onto his head :rotfl:

    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.

    just phoned my ex to say I won't be venturing out to see Charlie - ex has better balance than me at staying upright!!

    His Mum lives near Waterlooville (which is just outside Portsmouth) and has a ornamental garden pot thing which has now disappeared under snow!
