Keiss I use edit grid, an online free one which is exactly same as excel, but means I can access it anywhere. kids back, went from airport to cinema (sherlock holmes2) OMG what a price (almost double of at home) but fun, treaty dinner, then home, lots blethering!!!!!!

Like lt, I've a freezer to empty........:) hey up lass!! I need update my sheet.

Morning all

Bit real life started here up early to check weather (eeeeeeek) windy, snowy etc, we are meandering up, we have spade, water, antifreeze, etc, blankets et etc .

Mr f into his office early to collect a few things.

I need do a stripeyshop (here and Inverness) if possible, depends on weather.
Bank checked- all ok
Rent paid (yay)
£200 to one cc, £100 to other, will pay more when home, stripey shops accounted for and I know where I am. (i need to pay at least half of my new pay to debt)
Cuppa to have and a lemsip
Car to repack (only took out expensive gadgets and essentials last night) car to reorganise
Puppy to walk
Kids to wake
Ferry to book - we need check routes, heading for the evening one, but need to watch weather......

Morning to you all, I'll wave up the road, keep checking ferries and drive/shop safe.

OH AND REMEMBER (if you like ) if lifes beginning again and recyclings on your mind.....

Keep your Xmas wrapping paper, don't bin the old stuff it's brilliant for using for inner packing material for parcels throughout the year, all scrunched up!



2012 womble tip number 1 read it in my blue Peter annual ages ago.

Everything sounds good there except the lemsip ... hope you're okay!

Or else reuse the paper next xmas, to someone who didn't give it to you!!!

Hope the weather holds and you can get home safely. Do you want me to tell you that it was 22 degrees C here today:D

Take care onthe roads Pippi, looks like all the bridges are closed. That will extend your trip round Inverness...if Bonar Bridge is open that is (not that it is very long lol!). Perhaps the best thing would be to stay overnight in Inverness...if you get that far! Can't see you getting over to the Mainland tonight the way the weather is!

Forgot to say...one of my cousins won the Christmas Ba'...and he's an Uppie! :j Think the last member of my family to win it was my grandfather in 1935

Lucky you with 22 degrees Chev - it's 11 here, but very windy and wet!! Don't fancy heading out today, but invigilating this afternoon!! Think I will take the slower, but more sheltered route...don't fancy the motorway today . It will be more problematic collecting DS2 from college afterwards...lots of open stretches of road and a trip over the Avon!!! :eek: Hope the wind will have died down by then.

Take care everyone on this foul day xxx

hope you get safely home whether you try it today or wait the weather out until tomorrow.
I should have a go at that grid spreadsheet site etc but we're not allowed to access it through work so not really so superdooper useful

Even right down here in the south, I've got storm damage - only to garden accessories, but stuff blowing around can be really dangerous, even if its only a garden chair .... stay safe, everyone.
