Hey babyblooz

Got them from Mr Ts at the weekend they look super fancy with climate control ( I think) they were just under a fiver and only two left so I got one for me and one for the parents packed them up in the loft til autumn. Cant wait to test them wanted to get DD a single one they were just under £4 but none left same with kingsize. some great deals to be had think the Easter Sales come a week early, check your local Mr T see if any left ( if the staff have not nabbed them all) xxx

Forgot to say bought DH some lovely thick warm thermal socks he works outside and feet always freezing, Got them from M*S Outlet 2 pairs £2.49 orginal price ticket on back says £14!! Dont think I would have paid £14 for 2 pairs of socks but for £2.49 thought be worth a try and they are fantastic! Was wearing one pair last nite now hearing turned off so Dh may have to share!! pair each!!!!

I'll have a look at Tesco's then but I won't hold my breath. There's never much at ours but well done you! That's what I call a bargain!

I've just seen the weather too, we're supposed to be travelling up to the north east tomorrow to stay with the inlaws.

Looks like I'll have to dig out the winter warmers

personally i think it will only be sleety.. doubt any snow would lay or last long

its snowing here in Aberdeenshire its been heavy and non-stop since 5pm... :eek:quite sleety but lying now on cars and rooftops. Can hardly believe that it was 23 degrees last week and we had the windows open....now we are sitting by the fire!

Guess the saying up here "Never cast a cloot till May is oot" might be right:rotfl:

We had a few nice days last week, but it's got colder again now (though thankfully no snow or ice!) Do you think that was summer? :cool:

Confuzzled

woke up to snow this morning, heavy on the rooftops, mostly covering the grass (the odd bit poking through) and absolutely covering the windows on the east side of the house, so much so that we couldn't see out them even the tall (3') windows in the lounge!

it's been blowing wildly off and on all day now, mostly sleet now and a lot of the snow is gone but i get a feeling there may be more snow tonight as this doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

to think, i was grumbling on the 31st, irritated i was having to mow the lawn in march (seriously it was a jungle!) i was out in thin leggings and a tshirt, sunglasses AND a sunhat so i could see in the bright sunlight and sweating!

can't say scotland doesn't keep me on my toes (in fife) but i wouldn't have it any other way, i love this country
