    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.

    that's the best idea to stay off as you say your life isworth more than one days wages.

    Thanks taxi looking quite positive as im not going to get in to work this week, DH is stuck in work but he has clothes and shower facilities there so he should be fine that has to be a saving of at least £100 in petrol for this week.

    Looks like i will be saving on my food shopping the week too as nothing is getting on or off our road for a while now could be another £50 saving, going to venture out see if any neighbours need anything we have a few elderly around us.

    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?

    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...
