    Have a lovely birthday today and enjoy your retirement

    On a day when the snow is so bad I'm so pleased I'm one of th retired people. Didn't have to have that dilemma about trying to make it into work. All warm and cosy indoors with an Elite stash to work through !
    PS where is everyone/ Hope they are not stuck in the snow.

    I am on a train home after a day in London. Was very glad of my new overshoe gripper things. I wore them in the car park, which was full of snow, and then again at Euston where the pavements were compacted snow. Not pleasant. But the trains seem to be working. Will be working from home tomorrow...

    Evening peeps.
    So stressful waiting for the family to come home safely. Fed and watered then both off out again to the dry ski slopes for a prebooked ski lesson!
    Will be like the alps.

    All I'm left with is a mountain of dishes and yet more stress waiting for them to be back again.

    Off for a catch up before tidying up....

    Morning all:hello:

    Just back from a week Skiing in Italy to find snow here too!
    No chance of catching up so I'll just muddle through, Happy Belated Birthday to Tweets & Midwinter for yesterday. But it's mine today:j A significant one as I am now officially an OAP:eek:
    Just one more shift at the Salad Mines tonight and I am Free!

    ChelseaFred:)
    Happy Birthday CF :bdaycake: and even happier and long retirement :D
    Quick check in as I believe JTS was asking how I was getting on. Not great is the answer its all gone wrong and I need more surgery on Friday. Scared hubby to death they thought the op that ending up lasting 22 hours had caused brain damage because apparently I was just lying there staring into space.
    I hope everyone is ok happy birthday Chelsea Fred I'm about to lose power as everything's lost its charge I cannot believe where the last five days have gone to. I'll need to ask a nurse to charge all my devices but they are so busy I don't like buzzing my buzzer.
    Oh Di, so sorry to read this , wishing you good luck and hope everything goes well Friday xx
    Oh you have my sympathies, I'm so grateful it's milder here.

    I've never forgotten the impact of winter 2010/11, when I was snowed in (high in the Welsh hills) for weeks on end. It snowed mid Nov, then froze, then stayed frozen, then snowed again, and I got out twice - once by landrover for 2 hrs on Xmas Eve to get some Xmas food in, and once by car on 29th Dec to see family. Driving downhill on packed ice was a nightmare. It was like being on another planet. The post could only get to a farm a mile downhill, so they used to bag everybody's up and leave it in their porch to be collected. And the farmer used to take his tractor to the nearest village to bring supplies in. The hill roads finally cleared the second week in January. Everywhere looked stunning, but you can't live off a good view. I moved out by the April. :D
    2010!! don't remind me:eek::eek: we had no water out of ours taos from end of November till we came back after shutdown in Feb!!
    Reading on our forum, lots of people have no water today, we do, but some have no Electric either:eek::eek:

    Thanks for this :T
    I have arranged for a couple of brave Colleagues to pick you up, told them you would be hiding behind the Pampas Grass:rotfl:
    You will get different honking, so be prepared:wink:

    Will be strange for me tonight, after 10 years there. Started to clear out my lockers last night, a weird feeling:o Can't believe it has come round so quickly. Suspect something is being planned as a Shift Brief has been arranged around my finishing time:think:

    Stay safe everyone, still plenty of the white stuff here and still falling but not so heavy and occasional sunshine. Plenty of kids off school and enjoying themselves on sledges. In fact one of my big kids (34) is sledging by quad bike on the farm!

    ChelseaFred:)

    That cracked me up:rotfl::rotfl: hope they give you a good send off :D

    Well that’s my half hour lunch over:o

    I’m working from home today. During a Skype meeting at which I’d volunteered to do the minutes, I sneezed and my nose started bleeding. Before I could get a tissue, it ran down my arm, onto the table and all over the computer keyboard.

    Oh lordy:o
    You do get yourself into some situations:eek::rotfl:

    what a brilliant idea - I am sure there are quite a few who don't know about the register and a few that don't realise they need to be on the list eg if you have an elderly relative resident with Dementia or people not long out of hospital - I think my Dad should have been on the list.

    I get a text every cold spell. I don!!!8217;t even know how I got on the register. I don!!!8217;t mind being without power for a while. Mrs zippy can!!!8217;t put the heating on then. :rotfl:
