Well my parents and I are supposed to be taking DS to Glasgow on Thursday to take DS to a grotto (one that needed booked) and then to Xscape but judging by all the weather reports (and my fac3b00k friends) its not looking good. Three people I know had to turn back as the weather was so bad.

I need to do my scout post cards today and that will make it a spendy day so will prob make the most of it and buy my xmas stamps aswell. Have a good day y'all

I'm very close to xcape and there were no busses running in that direction today. The trains are running though so you can get to Glasgow and could then get to Cardonald station.

My work base is in that vicinity, so we should be getting regular updates on the bus routes, so I'll let you know if it improves. But I wouldn't advise driving it at the moment; it's still quite chaotic, with cars abandoned all over the place and the cars that were driving were slipping and wheel-spinnning all over the place today. Walking was quicker!

I was so close to an NSD but then remembered I've no fresh food or veg and didn't fancy just pasta or just rice or just lentils... so nipped into a shop as I walked home and got myself a gourmet meal; beans on toast. Mmmmmmmmmm!

(Oh for goodness sake.... news just on, headline; "the blame game begins.". Don't you just hate the need society has to place blame? How could the gritters possible get to the roads when rush hour had already started and the roads were already blocked? Would you really want the schools to send your childen into busses they know are sliding all over the place? Surely it's safer they stayed at school? Icould rant on... Grrr! :mad:)

Oh, some of my post has disappeared! MSE must have thought I was rambling on too much! :rotfl:

3Dogs try your mam with jellies, if she likes them. They can be good for dry mouth. Also ask what the policy is on mouth swabs. Some palces will use them, some won't. They basically cleanse the mouth and keep it moist. Not everywhere will use them in case patients bite down on them, but they can be great for keeping the mouth moist. And also use plenty vaseline around the lips to lock in the moisture and stop the lips from cracking - if your mam likes vaseline (I hate the stuff on my lips!).

Jinty I feel your pain re. bosses. Yesterday we were advised to continue home visits in 2s!!!! (And right now Alex Salmond is having to defend why "he got it wrong" and Scotland was "taken by surprise".) Yet the two teirs above us (I'm community services, so above us is specialist services and senior management) were sent home. :mad::mad::mad:

Harrumph!

Harping Belated Burpingdee Wishes SF! Hope you managed to enjoy the day & the coming year is full of wonderful surprises for you x

To business..somehow I have lost track of what days are which this month :doh:Spent today convinced it was a Wednesday but couldn't have told you the date if my life depended on it So if you don't mind, I'll work backwards & you can correct me if I go astray. Today is Tuesday theeeeee seventh? Still time to be tempted into virtual stores so today will come tomorrow IYSWIM Yesterday was the 6th & I went shopping but Sunday I didn't so 5th was an nsd. Saturday was a spendy [had my first foray into the R@nge; s'not bad in there at all is it ] & so was Friday cuz of the snow & getting bits for me muvva too. My siggy says I've declared up to Thursday 2nd so I make that 3 nsds up to & including yesterday.
Now my head hurts & if you'll excuse me, I need to lie down in a darkened room, with a cold towel over my eyes & whale music in the background *swans off diva-stylee*

ps..((HUGS)) to those battling that curse-ed phenomena known as Fate, & also to anyone who'd care to share x

Evening!! Reporting NSD #4 today!! Was a toughie as I took my lunch to work (soup) but didn't like it!!! Hehehe!! I resisted buying something though - Didn't want to lose a NSD!!

Tomorrow won't be I don't think as I'm ordering something online and need to pop to Mr T I think!!

I was going to make mince pies today but got told it was too early

Sorry to hear about all of you struggling with the snow, we only had it for 3 days and I could see how irritating it would be!!! Anyone know when this cold spell is going to end or is it here for a while?!
