    Afternoon all. Sitting here fretting about the snow that's being forecast. I am really scared of snow and ice. Every year I get worse. If it's that bad I might take tomorrow night off work but I feel guilty about that (even though I can take it as holiday). I can't just take time off because of the weather. Last time I did (about 3 years ago) my husband just kept grumbling about it.

    Sorry to ramble on, it's really bothering me.

    I know how you feel. I used to go to bed at night worrying about what it would be like in the morning. Had colleagues who had much worse journeys than me, but I was the one who got stressed out.
    In fact that was one of the reasons I retired at the end of Dec. Had thought about going on till the summer but couldn't face another winter.
    There must be something that bothers him that you could use as an example.

    Afternoon all, hope we are all well.
    Im still feeling rubbish but have felt better than i did this morning throughout the day, and managed to shop and prepare tea.
    School have sent letter home warning of school closure tommorow if the 6ins of snow thats predicted here comes. Radio saying it should arrive around midnight!! I love snow but hate driving in it.

    Feeling good about geting my bank charges back 2 ladys at school i told about it recieved theres back today.So fingers crossed.

    I have posted some replys on the family board on a thread which you all know im familiar with regard ds2, but feel a little upset at a certain reply, so im not going to bother trying to help anymore, i wished all the boards were like us lot, friendly and none judging. Moan over!!

    Catch you all later

    Hi twink,

    I'm not sure exactly how old you are, but if you are old enough, have you applied for your National Entitlement Card (click the link)?

    Hope this helps.

    P.S. It's my birthday today as well!

    Love

    Valentine xxx

    I dont think Twink is quite there yet.

    I think the Lottery winner was from Clowne, not too far from Chesterfield.

    Thanks for replying to my PM Crazychik, told you she was a cheeky ***** << insert rude, nasty word used for greedy people there.

    Dogs are being a pain in the backside, puppy won't stop stealing things to chew and even managed to make her mouth bleed earlier, then proceeded to pick up my white slipper and bled all over it, got to try and get that out :( typical was my white pooh bear ones. Older dogs copying to show off, drivin me bananas the pair of them.

    Snow forecast here again, but part of me wishes they would just stop getting the kids hopes up!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Afternoon again - my hair is lush - more purple than plum IMHO but has knocked weeks off my age. Have just bottled up a gallon of wine from a kit so may celebrate later!
