sunnyday - shows what a huge county Yorkshire is - we're in York and it has been raining and thawing since yesterday!

Lol i usually hate the rain but i`d welcome some atm as would many.

I`ve spent an hour and a half clearing snow and i`m just about packed and ready to set off for w*rk.

Spade - check
Grit - check
Sweeping brush - check
Walking boots - Check

Fingers crossed i`ll get there in one piece and double crossed that i`ll get back although it will probably be the early hours before i make it home :rolleyes:
I daren`t risk the public transport as i`ve been stranded before when they take the busses etc off the roads. I did once walk it and it wasn`t an experience i`d like to repeat much less in the middle of the night.

Its still snowing here and hasn`t stopped at all although it does seem warmer, the snowflakes are small but its still settling :eek: I have many hills to tackle so i`d best get a move on.

Keep safe and warm folks.

Gosh the thread is busy today!

Thanks for the peeps who wished me luck at the dentist - I've got to go back tomorrow to have a filling. Its a wisdom tooth so will stick with a metal one rather than splashing out on a white one. Am dreading it though.

I agree with taplady, Pen-pin can be like royalty and have 2 birthdays!!! :rotfl:

I always know when I'm having a hormone 'do' - the dead giveaway (apart from being a moody mare) is I start dropping off to sleep at my work desk and I can't remember the word for things..anyone else get this?

Oh yes, I suffer from this too... just can't remember what it's called...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Think my homehelp suffers from it too, she keeps putting things down and then asking me if I know where she left them...

Jinky behave yourself or we'll be evicted from here too and have to join the scary people on the other boards :rotfl:

Exam invigilating went well and no non shows due to snow which was good.

I've fed the birds, treated them to a pack of suet whilst doing my shopping yesterday.

Hoovering now to warm myself up as I thought it would be a good idea to air the house :rolleyes:

Be back in a bit. I need to do my wii fit before the kids get home from school too.

Poppytime

Hi :hello:
Can I join you too from the Flyladies
Had a busy morning sorting finances and wardrobes out. Stocked up on a load of cleaning materials from Poundland Fed the birds and put fresh water out. DD arrived home from Uni and now wedged firmly in the middle of the LR which I intended cleaning through today :rolleyes:

Sunnygirl - Condolences on your loss

Hello to all the fellow Flyladies and everybody else

I do hope you don't think that all Scottish dancers look like your snowman and are creepy ! It's a good job I'm thick skinned! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sorry :rotfl: The reference to Scots men is from Raymond Briggs' Snowman film - the eponymous snowman and the boy meet with other snowmen for a ceilidh, and at least one of them is in Highland dress

Flylady Wave to mumof2 and Dusty

Just a mention to those who have slushy paths - if you can manage, it'll be good to clear it while it's soft, as if it freezes overnight it'll be an ice rink tomorrow :eek: Gave me a good workout this morning

sistercas

My lovely 80 year old neighbour spotted a JCB doing the local shop car park (first time since 17th Dec) anyway he asked if he could do in front of the garages. The garages are also the main path into my house. It was 6 inches deep of ICE topped with some snow this morning....so anyway the path I just cleared, well he dozed through and made a wider one. So have spent 2 hours since with gloves clearing more of the ice he couldn't get to as it's uneven, broken loads up (on my own as most of neighbours are elderly) to try to get the water from the rain at it. I did my best but now struggling with my right arm. Next door on other side had a moan of 'what about the paths' as she uses a side path, not elderly so offered her my shovel and mentioned being grateful for having one path to use now unlike between Xmas and NY!

Filled the dishwasher, still can't decide what to have for tea...think it's a choice of steak, sausages or mince as something.....I should meal plan more rigidly instead of lists of what meals.
