    It snowed last night here, and has been snowing just about all day.

    It has improved though...

    It's now just sleeting... :rotfl:

    It hasn't been that bad really. I've only worn my wax jacket once this winter. Hands don't seem to be able to take the cold like they used to though.

    It's probably the "half way" point now for spring(for various inaccurate definitions of "half"), so that the cold half of the spring is over, and the wet half is to begin.

    The sun did come out today though.

    It burned the fog away... :rotfl:

    Well, I've now transferred all the money back into the ISA, and I'm now waiting for the Financial Year to tick around, when it all comes back out again.

    In the meanwhile...
    1. Don't spend anything
    2. No, not even that...
