I agree, Wol - of course you're upset about that. And I also think you're right to stay off that forum for a few days - its horrible, absolutely horrible, but sometimes all you can do is look after yourself and your own.

I finished my tax return on Monday! And thank god I got it in to the accountant too - no trains running to that town now! Hope yours goes well, I'm doing the French one this afternoon, but its a quarter done already because of the English stuff.

I have my bag and keys in my hand, I slip on my path, but dont actually fall. But bag and keys go flying across the driveway. Now, my bag is as big as the tyne tunnel so easy to see in the dark. Bag retrieved. Now where the chuff did my keys fly to. Its like looking for a needle in a ruddy haystack. Found housekeys but car key come off the keyring. I have just spent last 20 minutes sifting through the fooooookin snow for my key.

Would this have happened with my keys? Nope...

Morning everyone

Lovely weather we're having .....snow is now at "over the wellies" depth:eek:.

I think we've had a couple more inches. To be honest it's getting difficult to tell...

The road is quiet and peaceful - and I wasn;t woken up this morning by the usual thundering sounds of 4x4's making their way to the two schools down the road

I take it the schools are closed then? Or can they not drive in the snow and they want a 4x4x4x4...

.......and I think I'm going to stay off that other forum for a bit ....it's clearly bad for my health.:rotfl:

I've told you about staying away from idiots. Contact is not good for you, and it's not good for the idiot. Although throttling an idiot can bring momentary satsifaction, it'll also bring you into the village gossip and you don't want that...

And the traditional snow picture...



Certainly going to have to clear the back end before starting it...

Depends on how long the snow is going to last. That street had standing snow for approx two and a half months last winter. I am going to have to go out, at the very latest, next week.

Good news...Auntie Smashed has made it into work with no further mishaps :T

Still snowing here....it's getting quite deep...and it's drifting _pale_...good job the flood doors are up as they;ll stop it from piling up against the doors

Back garden and Piggie Palace from the upstairs window



The patio area....it's a foot deep on the table :eek:



Somehow I don;t think I'll be going anywhere this side of the weekend

Its lovely too look at, just not so great if we have to go out in in!

Hello Wol and All

Glad to hear smashed made it in to work, although better to hear that most others aren't even attempting to go out in this weather. I did make it by train to work yesterday but working from home the rest of the week. We've had about 18inches here so far I think.

I need to get myself one of those proper snow shovels, my tiny border spade is useless for snow shifting.

Very frustrating regarding the piggie forum Wol, I think some people do seem to think of piggies and rabbits as almost 'disposable' pets for their kids, its so irresponsible and no wonder you were very upset with what happened. Anyone 'proper' would be.

Had you dropped your keys you might have started an avalanche from the roof of all neighbouring houses:p.
