    Embb ((hugs)) we're the same at the minute with no work etc and it's driving me closer to the BD so we'll have to all kick him together. Snow days are ok if you're getting paid, unlike many x what about searching through what you have, meal plan then I'd prioritise with gas & electric, you could always use the emergency for a bit. Pleased I got 'pre paid took out as I can't even afford the direct debit at the mo which is less than we've used :o

    I can hear cars sliding all over, think I best go see what's happening as one of out cars is on the street and if someone hits it I'll scream. People been crashing into cars locally and driving off, grrr!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
