    Morning everyone

    We've got snow in Bedfordshire :j

    Work is closed until 10 oclock and then they will make a further decision, so at the moment I'm working from home which means I can sit on here all day with no one looking over my shoulder and catching me out no doing any work :j:j

    Morning all :D

    Hope you're all OK and those that want snow get some :cool:

    We've had an eventful morning so far here in Spudland.

    DH got home as far as outside the house but couldnt manage to get the car on the driveway. I legged it out with me spade in PJs and wellies (that's a look that'll catch on :p) to try and help. So we dug and dug at the snow, then decided to have one last try. I was in the car, DH pushing. Anyhoo, he pushed really hard, the car moved and he fell flat on his face for the third time in as many days :o

    The cold and effort triggered me to have an asthma attack too, so much wheezing, gasping and puffing on inhalers.

    Still loads of snow to try and clear, but I'll got out in a bit and do that :rolleyes:

    My hubby didn't even attempt to get the car out, he donned his boot spikes and hiked the 3 1/2 miles to work!

    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.

    I'll walk when we go back, but DH works too far away, probably about 10 miles :rolleyes:

    Morning all!
    Loads of snow here, but tucked up in bed with my sore belly and loads of Green and Blacks and books. Rather lucky that my op was yesterday, the staff had all come in prepared for an overnight stay so they knew it was coming.
    Lots of peeps at the Hosp with their wrists plastered up waiting for ops.
    Three weeks off now....so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
    ( Just cant go sledging!)
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

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

    Glad you're recovering well Pepe :T

    Did you have an overnight stay in hospital or did all the doctors need the beds? :D

    In at 0730, delayed by a few emergencies, then anaesthetic at 1130 recovery by 1300 and out by 1415!
    I am now enjoying the benefits of having bought an electrically adjustable bed when I could 'afford' it.

    I wanna go out in the snow though....
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Morning lovely peeps

    DH spent an hour clearing snow from the paths last night when he got in from work and this morning there's another 3" fallen. wouldn't mind but I'm taking little pickle for her swine flu injection this morning and the car is sitting covered in her snow igloo/cocoon; so I'll be pushing the pram again! Was a very vigorous workout pushing it the 3/4 mile to her hospital appointment yesterday!!!

    Take care everyone.
