    LOL bet they wonder whats happening :D Massive amount of orders but then again the bargain prices are too much to resist.

    Have a look at the ski gloves, i`ve ordered a pair for me and a pair for DH. The ones for me are medium sized mens ones as the ladies ones were too small (only small or extra small or something) even if they are a bit big it will trap some air inside and keep my paws even warmer :D

    I'm happy to say I've just found a supplier of the Y*ktraks which are cheap enough for me to afford as they're about £10 cheaper then the official site:D:j I'm cautious about buying stuff like that this on ebay so I'll be buying some once they become available in August as I need 2 pairs. BTW I've never used this company before, but I'm all for supporting smaller businesses when I can afford to. They're here, hope this helps someone: http://www.thekeswickbootco.co.uk/ :D

    They look just what i need, and are affordable. I am delivering and collecting catalogues now and it is in an area with a lot of hills and slopes for me to fall in. Do they do anything like these for kids as school is at the top of previously mentioned hill!

    Slm6002 - thats why I'm getting some. I've started doing catalogues and after spending last winter skating to and from the shops I'm determined not to do the same with the catalogues! The pavements around here stay icy for a lot longer than the roads :mad:

    On another matter I found a notebook today with scribbled lists for various winter prep so I've collated them all into the front of my diary and my master list has just doubled in size :eek::rotfl::rotfl:
