    Hello :wave:

    Did the Morrison's run this morning, checked elderly neighbour didn't need anything first.
    It was pretty quiet and well stocked which was good :T

    Now catching up on washing, I've also just bought a 30L grit bin for our drive and a large scoop, just need some grit for it now :D
    I refuse to be caught out again!

    Elliot and his friend have been sledging in the park, hubby (who was going stir crazy stuck inside) has walked down to meet them with a flask of hot chocolate and a pack of mini pancakes, they'll be glad to see him!

    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 have only just got up :o and was really surprised to see that there had been a bit of a thaw during the night. However it is still snowing although very lightly, so who knows what is happening!

    Doing better than up here. Aldi yesterday had quite large gaping holes in its stock.

    HELLO SRM! :j
    Sorry.

    It's grey and dismal here - alternating between snow and rain.
