    Hope the snow has melted for you. Miss S looked very comfortable and very wise staying where it is warm.
    Hope the Tena does the job for you 👍

    Where my Mum is it was just a smattering but really deep where Sis is so she did not go to Mum's in the morning. Waited until afternoon and then took Mum's shopping over because there is ice forecast today. She is in Killie, and Mum is East Ayrshire too so a bit west of youI think. Please consider carefully before going out. I know Mum offered to host it for one friend who needed to get out (as she pranged her car this week and was dwelling on it) - make sure you stay warm and safe

    Hi beanie :) I haven't watched Traces - but honestly, if you look, there's always good tv programmes around; you have to work at it, but they're very good in general.

    And hey, you cashed out on You Gov!  Well done you!
