I want to see my newborn niece!
Should I take my 2 kids from Uxbridge to Portsmouth on the M25/A3 today?
DH thinks its will be fine...I am nervous!

Well we were supposed to be travelling to Portsmouth today from Bristol but have cancelled. Luckily we sent the children's presents off at the beginning of the month.

Sorry that doesn't help much! Make sure your car is properly kitted out with shovels, blankets etc.

You are entirely unreasonable for having family in Portsmouth (ugh) - but you'll be fine driving. There hasn't been snow since Monday.

My DH is a scummer, we are like Romeo and Juliet too Smile.

I'm in Lovedean so more towards petersfield side but know widley it is a nice area.

DH supports SFC and i keep telling him i am going to get her a PFC kit, he wont hear of it but then i wont let him buy a SFC one either. we are at a stalemate Grin

Born and bread in Pompey here. Not living there now though.

Still have lots of family around Waterlooville, Horndean & Clanfield.

I would imagine the roads will be fine to be honest A3 is heavily used for commuting (-:

We have no snow in Portmouth! The roads are clear here, the A3 should be fine, its the M25 I'd be concerned about.

It was fine on sunday, even though it was sleety in Southsea.

My DS fell down some stairs yesterday in Waterlooville TKMaxx.

Big up the mean streets of Meonstoke! (About 8 miles from Waterlooville. The arse end of nowhere.)
