Huge weather warning out for Scotland for Thurs, level 5 warning - big storm. I posted it on the "tough" thread - didnt want duplicate it here.

:eek: eel! Thanks for the warning! I'm in northants too, almost level with birmingham... OH is up at 5am tomorrow to get down to Oxford, at least he's not going north I suppose. I'm off work tomorrow, but have to go thurs, fri and Xmas party sat! Fingers crossed!

Car wouldn't start this am . I waited a while and did as Manuel said and managed it in the end. Phew. I used my waiting time to put extra cereal bars, water, and a wind up lantern and the Lush Times in my car's GOOD bag (Get Out Of Dodge aka Bug Out Bag for those interested in survival skills!).

Oh Yes!!! now thats what I call planning :T:T:T I do love the Lush Times! Esp now that you can get the Retro Stuff online... Gentle Lentil Shampoo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love you!

Make sure your phone is charged and you can order online!!!
Enjoy!!!

I can report that it was very chilly in my loft today when I was up there looking for the Christmas decs. Seems that the insulation is doing it's job:D It occured to me that a little trick I use for identifying the Christmas decs might be useful to some of you... I always tie up the bin bags with tinsel or Christmas ribbbon of some kind so that they can be spotted easily, boxes have Christmas labels or tags attached. Hope it helps someone.:)
Rainydays, it was icy in parts of Hexham (Northumberland) yesterday when I was there and I could see snow on the hills...

I've got a very poorly daughter tonight who threw up literally ALL over the bathroom :eek: Up the walls, floor and in the bin, which is what she was aiming for, bless her!

Thank goodness I have a stash of anti sickness/diaroehha (can anybody spell that?!!!) meds brought back from Egypt - the likes of which you cannot get here - so am reasonably safe in the knowledge that, even tho she is in my bed, she will not puke again :eek:

Poor love is dosed up with cough meds too and is really suffering.... Why oh Why do my kids only ever get sick when I am working full time - which is only about 4 times a year!!! Its a conspiricay I tell ya!

Destined to be broke as I am self employed.... DD1 will be taken to school by a friend, DD2 will come to work with me for a few hours when I am really needed and I will take the rest of the day off..... unpaid :cool:

Kids hey! Well, I can't complain... 2 lovely IVF girlies who I thought I would never have are worth missing work for, any day!!!!! (altho if they could choose the other 48 weeks when I work PT, not FT, that would be helpful :rotfl: )

Must stock up on Nighttime cough meds, and book another trip to Egypt to stock up on the awesome anti [STRIKE]sickness/diorreah[/STRIKE] (!!!!!!) meds !!!

Aw Frugal sending lots and lots of healing thoughts to DD2. Hope its just one of those 12hr viruses and she wakes up fine...........

Just think of going back to Egypt one day - lucky you I have a degree in Egyptology and Nr Easter Archaeology and never been to Egypt or anywhere around there......only thing I got was a Roman dig on Merseyside ( I hate the Romans, blinking copycats) and Neanderthal dig in Cheshire neither anything to do with what I was learning.

Hope you get some sleep and manage to work a bit longer than you thought.

Hugs and Love xxxxxxxx :A

I hope you make it, i will get there but not making plans as cannot go until my dogs pass and that thought I shy away from, although one 13 and two 14 in Jan but as they have got older they hate me going away even over night.......so eventually but unless the trouble dies down will not get to see half the places i want.

Nighty night go and get some sleep

Its all a bit dodgy out there but Sharm is so far away from Cairo, and the other problems, plus its tourist oriented, plus knowing as I do the checkpoints there, its probably safer than London IMHO... I know I have always felt safer there than anywhere else in the world.

Can't wait to go back :smileyhea

Oooooh I love archeology. But I like the Romans - wish they had been busier up here.
