Just in from one of the longest days ever snow was heavy this morning so left the house at 6 to get to the train station took 3 1/2 hours to get to work.
Boss kindly let us go at 4.50 so 4 1/2 hours later and a few pub stops I have just got in, my car is abandoned in a pub car park miles away but i have had my excercise for the week i am so tired. I will not be going in tomorrow we are now about 2ft under snow, I wont get paid but my life is not worth one days wages.
Moneywise not had time to look but i do need to make some payments and DH got paid today, only 17 days until payday the countdown begins again.MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

I can't believe how much snow you have had and that your DH is stuck in work!
I think they should pay you as its not your fault! Has anyone made it in?LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

isnt it astonishing how the country just comes to a halt every time there is a change in the weather? We are just not geared up for anything other than mediocre, inoffensive weather...0
