    Morning.
    We've had snow overnight - just over an inch I think. Not snowing snow but sky very heavy. Friend has just taken 40 mins to do a 10 min journey to work so obviously not good out there.

    Today I will finish clearing up from yesterdays invasion, do DD2's washing and apply for some jobs.

    No post today.

    Morning. Thawing a bit, but the sky is full of snow. Snowed about 1/2" last night so the roads are cr*p where its laying on the uncleared slush.
    Well done Cherwell District Council....nice to see that ( as usual) the illages are completely neglected in favour of the towns!
    Claire...jewellery? Mrs P says can you pm with your ebay details for that?

    I'm betting that car insurance goes up with a wallop this year, they'll blame it on more accidents due to roads not being gritted :mad:

    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.

    Apparently our main roads haven't been gritted. Fresh snow on top of frozen slush.
    Must shower.
