    Wooo hoooooo.

    Not here. But to be fair, it's really not that bad. Just waiting for the snow to clear from the windscreen and then it's the main road route to the Childminder's before heading off to the school.

    You got a snow day, yay! Must be very nice to have a little bit of "down time" to catch up on that sort of stuff you've listed above. And a frightening journey to and from work is good to avoid :(

    Loving the bargainous shopping you did yesterday :)

    I am hoping we get a snow day later in the week as I really do not fancy driving in it.

    You get double benefits from your evening workouts with your ys bargains. I am too much of a home bird to venture back out after dinner. Sounds like it is worth the effort though.

    Stay warm today and enjoy your snow day.

    Thank you, it's been a lovely day - only 20 children in the class and I was a ta not a teacher so very unstressful.

    Days like today make me think I could possibly return to teaching again, then I come to my senses....

    Back tomorrow for day 2.

    Thank you PP :kisses3: one of the funniest family moments was when we found a fourth stash of patchwork material - *three* underbed storage crates - and we really thought we'd got it all :rotfl:
