    It's snowing again today. It seems that this winter has been one of the "worst" in recent years for number of days spent snowing. There hasn't been much come down in total - there's only about an inch of global warming lying out there.

    You need to get out there and have some fun in a car park... ;)

    And having castigated it for feebleness - it's properly snowing now... :rotfl:

    Not a great one for New Year even though I am Scottish :eek:
    Nearly at 2018 & a New Year.

    Can I thank you all from the very bottom of my heart for all your support , encouragement , kind words & for keeping me going.
    My family is small & most are far away.
    I am the middle generation & there is only me in Scotland.
    The older generation are, well, older & it can be a worry .

    This is the only place I sometimes feel I can let things out~~warts and all.
    For that I thank you all.

    I wish you all health, happiness & good fortune in 2018.
    I hope we can continue to nurture each other & support each other.
    I consider you all to be friends.
    Thank you.

    Dearest Beanie, I am trying to catch up, and make a big effort to be back in the diaries ... just wanted to send you love and hugs and say what lovely words....
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Please say hello my new diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6578460/still-dancing-to-blow-the-debt-clouds-away

    The snow came before I left for my mums.
    Anyway, got there & had a good night.
    Champange & raspberry gin a good drink make :rotfl:
    A good night was had by all!!

    Was a bit upset when I came home(having stayed overnight) & my best boy was not at his best. Enough said. I suppose I maybe noticed more as I was away :(:(:(
    A clever boy he is though~~he left me a bottle of my favourite rose & a card!!
