    Lol gallygirl!

    The bin challenge is taking on a life of its own, I like that - and Lula, I know what you mean about it letting you be lazy - I used to take all sorts to the LA banks, and now it comes from my own door - I do like to group together all the little bits of paper and cardboard tho, so I save one thing - a fair sized box, or a big envelope - and put all the cardboard in one, and the paper in the other. Anal, moi?

    I'm glad Cheery's on her way, Pippi - although the weather seems so bad today, it also seems like its going to get worse :eek:

    It's been pretty good up here. Just enough snow to make things pretty (or close London down - your choice), and nice bright sunshine too.

    Has been -6C during the day though, which is unusally cold, especially given the sunshine. It usually only gets down to -3C during the day.

  • Yeah I think problems with trains mean she'll only get to invernsess tonight - here hopefully tomorrow

    Very cold here

    Bin challenge we'll start that in the new year (new thread what do you think -?)

    Glad there's a bit of interest on it!

    Um, the fact that our airport flightv to glas were cancelled and that CDG is currently very bad, nope I'm not stressing about that, not one bit.

    Eek.

    -2 here now - pathetic compared for the -17 in Moray forecast for tonight.

    EEEK

    Very much still writing - catch up later :)
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:

    hope the writing is going well. eek to cancelled flights, hope you get where you need to get to, worst case scenario you get to share christmas with Cheery which can't be too bad really. Much better than my christmas options.

    Made it :D

    Not to pippi land mind you :rotfl: But just made it to mate's house near Inverness - after a complete fiasco of a journey lasting 16 hours :eek: :eek:

    Lots of help from Pippi though - on site travel agent :D :rotfl:

    All toasty warm and have a cuppa, so am finally happy :D

    Trains further north cancelled today, and they weren't sure about tomorrow, so goodness knows what will happen. There's a ferry from Aberdeen on Thursday, so if we haven't been able to escape before then, we'll do that, not ideal though, aren't you meant to be leavin before then Pippi??!

    Anyway, can't do anything at all else about anything tonight, so going to thaw out and drink my tea and get some sleep. Cheery to be able to pop in though!

    And dortunately can stay here for free for as long as we need to, so FINALLY I feel like there's no crisis :D

    Cheery! I'm glad you're warm and safe - I'll be checking in now and then to see where you are - you should have a marker tag like in SF films, or an electronic bracelet, so we could tune in to a frequency and check out whats happening :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Pippi - your flights out are cancelled? Uh oh ..... hope the writing is going well, anyway.
