    lol you certainly would survive being snowed in then mate :rotfl: would be quite an adventure !

    I live in the city and I've got a corner shop 4 doors away from me but I boycott it because he's a robbing !!!!!!:eek:

    And T's is only a 10 minute walk away.

    Mums the one that WILL get snowed in, her nearest shop is about 4 miles and nearest supermarket is 15 miles away. Nearest main road from mums house is half a mile. The snow blows off our field and hits a wall on the opposite side of the lane and within a few hours the track can be 4ft deep in snow the whole half mile.:eek:

    And 4ft is nothing, when we first moved to where we are now one year it was 8/9/10' deep in places.

    One year I was sent home from work early and in the winter months I had company transport (tractor) and it was such a blizzard I couldn't see where I was I going. I was just pulling up to the house and I slowed right down so I didn't drive in to it and there was a break in the snow. I was 5' higher than the garden wall which is about 4' looking down in to the garden:eek:

    Well night night, one and all.

    Sorry if I've offended anyone tonight. :o
    I'm not normally so outspoken. It's just an issue that I feel strongly about personally.

    Lovely to have Celebrate back on board!

    Sleep tight peeps...

    Beware!!!! Glitching is addictive:rotfl:
  • One of the soups was slightly off-line... think its a leek one...

    plus i LOVE the fact that you have a lock and Key for your stash cupboard. :)

    i dont have a stash cupboard... i know the glitches are good - i just cant seem to afford them ATM...

    Thank reminds me - does anyone know where there are any sales on - NEED a moses basket ASAP as OH left the blooming window open downstairs... a cat got in and 'sprayed' our new basket/Blanket/covers and loads of new baby clothes...
    Gutted!!

    Do you think the clothes would be ok if i washed them about a gazzillion times? - The moses basket is ruined though.. ;(

    I ate 6 yesterday and trust me I know exactly what you mean:p



    All our friends bring their children round! Lots of them move their heads and say ho ho ho so we don't get any foxes in our garden in December.They run a mile as soon because as soon as they walk up the path, one of the father xmas'es starts jiggling about:rotfl::rotfl:Your DD1 has got it right:T the bottom bit is a dell and looks just like a grotto as it's under the trees:)



    That's DH's department, they're his toys:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    That's what I need then....as we've had foxes and badgers in our garden...and they don't half leave a stink....so some of your febreze would come in handy too!!
    My husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.
