    We live in a small cul de sac and to be honset we dont see many of the people round here to even talk to but since the snow and everything some of them couldnt get there cars moving and people are coming out and helping. I think thats a nice thing, bringing people together.

    Theres no sign of any more snow and i'm grateful for that, we've had enough, been stuck in most of the week going stir crazy!

    My DH went too as I am too unwell to stagger that far - he bought more expensive versions of nearly everything so it is a good job I do the shopping normally! However I must say that expensive tissues are lovely and soft on your nose - maybe that is why they cost more than value ones :D

    Evening all. Is it wine o'clock yet?

    I am going to chill out the rest of the evening with pizza and a couple of glasses of vino.

    Have a good one everyone.
