it had just started to snow when I was leaving (has thankfully now stopped and most of it has disappeared).

Think I may need to take that back .....:o have just been looking at the live traffic cams and there's snow lying on the A1 :eek: so it may not be a great journey to work in the morning (the old road runs mostly alongside the A1 but there's no access onto it & is usually worse!).

Really pleased I checked the emergency kit in the car today ......

Take care everyone and be safe.

BDINI - everything crossed here too

Happy to repost NSD 2 for me today We didn't get the tree in the end as the place was shut and I can't go next week end as I am away so I've just put up our other fake tree (I must say, it looks very good!).

Hope you have all had a lovely week end - my December is choc a bloc this year, DH's birthday on Thursday, C*ntre P*rcs on Friday-Monday, out with friends on 16th, panto on the 18th, sister's birthday on 19th and then it's the xmas week-end :eek: Luckily the weeks in between aren't so full so I can get some stuff done and (hopefully!) some NSD's :money:

Crosssing everything for you too BDINI :dance: I have managed to bag NSD #2 today, woooop! I had some money that I spent today that had been set aside yesterday for snacks from the market which was given to me by a work friend anyway so wasn't a spend. Ooohhh hang on...*calculates*.... oh nearly thought I bagged another NSD yesterday but I didn't cuz i went out for wines in the evening lol :beer: nearly forgot about that. :rotfl:
We shared a bottle tho for a 5er each and it was nice and got 3hrs worth of comfy seats and heating out of it lol, not bad.
The OH and I went to see the Turner Prize exhibition 2day for free and browsed the market (where I spent my snack money) :j

Going to York tomorrow so definitely won't be a NSD :rotfl:I'll try not to go mad tho

Ohhhhhhhhh *sigh* I used to live in York and it's fantastic any time of the year but even more so at this time (hope that makes some sort of sense - about to turn in as really tired) - the Christmas market is lovely....... *sigh* and Browns truely is one of my favourite shops (anywhere!) and the Designer Outlet *sigh*

*Leaves room, shaking head trying to remember why she left York?*
