    :o

    I'm fuming upstairs..

    We needed essentials which are heavy things like potatoes, veg, milk etc
    I asked Fourp to come with me to Ts to help carry it home..
    He said 'No' :eek:
    he said I didn't need them just buy 2 carrots ..
    So off I trekked through the snow to Ts. Filled my trolley, as loads of reduced food too :)
    Plus Strawberry milk & a big box of Maltesers for my treat :D
    Ts was heaving as Ms shut as fire alarm had gone off.
    So I then dragged, yes dragged up hill, as wheels clogged with snow :o my shopping trolley laden with heavy goods back through the deep snow.. took me an hour when normally its 7 minutes :o

    Arrived home & he immediately opened his mouth to lecture me :(
    So I preempted him & said 'yes I know I'm so stupid buying essential shopping' :p

    :mad::mad:
    Oh snap., please come downstairs and fume in front of him...

    By the way, no carrots to be had in a 5 mile radius.!

    You *should* do - HO say yes, my local store says no because it's your responsibility on SS to look for overcharges :mad:

    Well the water has just stopped coming out the taps :(

    Oh no, I hope it gets sorted soon




    A very big happy birthday to Snap and VT. I'm sorry that both your days haven't been as lovely as you deserve. You can both celebrate when you/the weather is better :D

    This must be a world record rubbish birthday.
    I've been upstairs all day.
    He has been downstairs.
    No birthday tea :o

    I stupidly & selfishly had high hopes for a nice supper at least.
    I can smell the cooking of a fish finger sandwich :(

    I haven't eaten today & will have to go down soon & maybe bring the Maltesers up here ;)

    Now that is a happy thought :o:D

    Crikey :eek: I know ours were buried pretty deep. I think there are regulations as to how deep the pipe has to buried 18inch minimum spring to mind ( don't quote me on that though)

    It seems to me that the owners of park you are on seem to have taken a lot of short cuts. Firstly, about the electric and now the water what next? I think you all need to get together with the other residents and get something done.
