            Evening everyone,
 Lainey - hope you are okay. Sending love and hugs to you xx
 Jackie - hope your airport run went smoothly xx
 We have snow and I'm not sure the schools will be open tomorrow. I have to check online at 7am. I will be making my way into work and hope the trains will be okay. They were fine tonight but who knows what it will be like tomorrow?!
 Keep safe and well everyone,

            I had a awful journey down there, as it was lashing with rain,but got there quite early as I wanted to get there before it snowed.
 Just about made it.Then Ben's plane was very delayed and they didn't get through customs until 8.30p.m.! instead of 7.00
 Candice decided to go home to London from Gatwick on the train as the trains will be all up the wall tomorrow, what with weather ,strikes etc,and the fast train would get her into Victoria in half an hour.
 Ben and I left Gatwick at 8.45 and got back to Kent around 10.30, Motorway was very hairy with traffic driving far too fast for conditions ,we saw several silly accidents ,but made it home in one piece at least.
 Its only 48 miles but it felt like a hundred and once indoors I treated myself to a generous G & T (medicinal of course :)) :))
 Only glad it was Gatwick and not Heathrow they were coming from:)
 the chap at customer services was very good though, as I had gone over the stipulated 4 hours it should have been £23 parking, but he said its not my fault the plane was delayed and put it through at £15.00 instead bless him.
 Helped pay for several overpriced coffee's while I read my book :):) :):)
 I went to buy some chocolate in WH Smiths and they wanted 95p for a blooming Mars Bar !!!, needless to say I didn't bother Ripping folk off is disgusting, and airports are quite happy to do that, its a wonder we get any tourists at those prices
 Right, I'm enjoying my 'medicine ' so I'll say Night Night God Bless all here                        0 so I'll say Night Night God Bless all here                        0
