    We still have snow (frozen) on the ground from last weekend and so more snow tonight could make it lethal. Thought I'd nip to Mr Ts with a list later but have heard it's like Christmas Eve down there! Think I'll pull in the car park after the kid's swimming club later. If it looks busy I'll pull straight back out again! We have enough food to live on! Milkman has just been round with tomorrow morning's milk in preparation!

    I work in a school & have just broken up for half term but kid's are in tomorrow. I guess it'll be a lovely quiet day for me or a boisterous snow day (because I have my friend's daughter on days like that)! We'll see what comes! Xx

    Hiya
    quintwins I hope you and your family are better soon. Sending hugs. Thanks for the snickers tip off, my 50 bars arrive next week! I also went for the 24 tins of beans which came yesterday. You should have seen the look on my mum's face when I ripped open the amazon box :)

    JackieO hope you are ok? Haven't seen you post for a while. I love your posts :)

    Well I am excited as I am out for a meal with my sis tonight. I got a groupon voucher for a three course meal for two for £19. It normally csts £25 per person so to get it for £9.50 each is really good. DH is having a ys ready meal of pepperoni pasta bake that I picked up for 31p and garlic bread. Dd has church club soon so have to dash to make kiddies tea. I am going to do them a mini buffet as have lo sausages, ham, cheese, tomatoes etc and just made a loaf of bread
