Anyone in Aberdeenish?? I was intending to go to the Uni tomorrow and take back a pile of library books and also do a mystery eat in the new shopping centre by the bus garage. What are the chances of getting there unscathed on the roads from Dundee? I was talking to an offshore man this morning and he was saying he's got a couple of extra days leave die to weather.

Friend of mine drve said it was slow moving...

I think I'll leave Aberdeen today as its over 60 miles and a bit a stupid to be setting out until weather improves a bit, especially as I only have a little car.
Couldn't get up my road last night, eventually neighbour came to help .
Atm it's a bit dire, Kingsway Ok, but I'm not going anywhere today. Sun out and I can see gritters about.
Will keep you posted.

Looking quite snowy here in West Lothian...

Morning all. Has anyone been allocated any of the react electricals yet? They all say they're due tomorrow, but don't appear to have been given out yet. Seems a bit weird.

Beckybrainie, I read that not all of them will be allocated so I imagine they are doing only a proportion of the amount shown.

Hi

Have just seen your message.

I am the other direction from Dundee, in Aberdeenshire, but the weather is less wild today. There is a fair bit of snow and quite slidey on the little roads but I think the big roads should be ok.
Saying that I won't be venturing out unless I really have too!

Thanks for that. Think I'll have another try to get there tomorrow. No point going if it's going to be difficult getting back and causing a load of stress and worry.

I have two current account with cheque books ans I often use them to do MS counter transactions at banks and like everyone else its mostly for school and nursery etc.

Me too, I use cheques for a few things. My dentist adds 2% on to the bill if you use a credit/debit card! He only accepts cash or cheque:(

If you are with HSBC, they send a letter out when a foreign company pays you. So everytime I get money from BARE, they send me a letter saying xxx amount of Euros have been deposited by xxx company on the xx/xx/xxxx. I can't wait to get my payment for the 4 jewellery shops I did!

Hope the weather isn't too dire in northern climes. There is just a light dusting of snow down here (home counties/East Anglia borders). I am dreading it getting any worse, after last winter's fiascos.

Weather aside, I do feel snowed under: one of my sassie shop logs (yes, just one) has 46 jobs (yes, forty six and some of these are two-parters) to be done between now and 24 December! I had been thinking that November was frantic and that December would be a bit quiet. Obviously, this is not the case. Is it like this for everyone else? Are we going to be twiddling our thumbs in January?
