Morning All

Good News Helen

Now I might be totally confused but have Brummiebabe and thifty both sold their houses today - anyway hope everything goes through okay.

Got up late this morning as DS slept in till 6.45 which never happens! Haven't done anything yet but get ready for work, however nothing on tonight so hopefully will manage to get some more done then.

Should be fine, the weather's much warmer today, about 2 degrees, and I can see grass now in my garden. The foxes are everywhere, poor things (DOn't tell the chook keepers I said that!) they must be starving, and of course they'll be in season round about now. My OH works in Clydebank just now and he says it's been fine over that end, I'm nearer Celtic Park than Love Street, Jinky!

The M8, in that area, is absolutely fine.
Most of the west side of the M8 is ok.... I think the futher east you go, the worse it is... but thats not until waaaaay east past the M74 cutoff.
(J29 is the airport for whoever asked )
But as you know, it could all change again before Thursday....
If you PM me on Wednesday, I will be able to give you a better update (sorry, I would forget to do it without a PM )

Thanks - Dh has got to drive up there - he's a lorry driver - so was wondering how bad it was - whether there was still loads of snow.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Penelope Penguin (note I'm using your full name, so you should take this with the seriousness with which it is delivered) You are NOT an outsider, you're a lovely lady and I personally feel you contribute loads and this board would be a sadder place without you xxx

Agreed. Naughty PenPen. Same applies to Crafty and anyone else thinking about not posting.

selfish moron.. the last people on his list of priorities are the children I am certain of it.

Do you think he just knows how to push your buttons and irritate you, with no regard to the effect it has on the kids?? Try not to rise to it and from now on, just say no. Its really great though that the kids have such a great relationship with OH!! Its hard though not to feel a little bit left out. Ive been there xx

Well, I didnt get much flying done last as little one was really poorly. He had a temperature and was sick and had a headache so I spent most of last night with him. I was up lots in the night, he was sleeping but I was worried.....

He is ok this morning - full of beans and starving so whatever it wa seems to have passed. But I am exhausted.....

Must try harder xx

22nd Jan is Yellow Day Great news about getting paid for snow days :T

Thanks Jill for the reminder of the pedometer, I shall put it on in a mo when I am dressed.

Jo glad LO is feeling better this morning, hope your day is not too difficult so you can chill a bit.

My main priorities today are to get a brithday card for Miss A, find and wrap her presents and then sift through the paperwork so I can start on the tax return :eek:

Have already emptied the DW, will put WM on when I go back downstairs.

Have a good day all.

Well managed top do all my last list except for ironing before children went to bed then we had a power cut. Made me think about the emergency box I hd done. Thankfully just needed to sort out the fuse box so didn't need it but felt good knowing it was there-thanks for putting it on the list. Have update list on post 15. Quite like this idea as I now know where my list is instead of having to search for it.
