Shamelessly posting for traffic 😳

Hi lovely people 💖

We are currently caught up in the storm with no electricity or internet. Can anyone please recommend songs/games for us to get through.

Thanks very much

Posting here for traffic but actually was my dh unreasonable to think this storm was all media and he should have listened?

Could you get an ebook and read aloud?

[TimeForTeaAndG]

No internet? But posting on Mumsnet.

[countdowntonap]

At this time of night id just go to bed.

[Pawprintpaper]

Would you rather game?

[Ugzbugz]

Hotspot off phone to another device to watch a film or does that use to much data

Think I would drink wine or go to bed

Yeah I am using data. Live in the deep dark rural Highlands. Hope that answers your question 😊

[PinkyPromises]

Ah I thought you had wind up internet

Sorry you're having a shit time.

I'd play 'beat the intro' on songs. Play something for 5 seconds and the other person has to guess the song.

[TimeForTeaAndG]

Yes, it does. Hotspot as suggested or go to bed.

[ErrolTheDragon]

Hopefully at this time of night any children are tucked up in bed.
Conserve your phone batteries, and if it's chilly then shared bodily warmth is standard advice isn't it?

[AdoraBell]

Have you got playing cards? Or any board games.

Come on now. It's not 1995 you know 😂😂

[Thehogfatherstolemycurry]

Oh is it bad up there? My dd is in the Highlands and hasn't got my messages this evening so I'm thinking it's affecting her Internet.

[Thehogfatherstolemycurry]

But to answer your question - cards, dominoes, chequers, pictionary.

[CricketCat]

Err. Go to sleep. It’s 10:50. Do you have reindeer heads on your walls?

[LooksBetterWithAFaceMask]

We are in the Highlands too kept thinking the power was going to go at work today.
One of the children thankfully has heaps of data do we could hotspot off him but we tend to go for head torches and boards games.
One power cut we did end up driving all the way to Inverness for WiFi and hot food until dh could get home and dig the camping stove out to make a cup of tea.

[fourandtwo]

To “get you through”?! It’s just a peer cut. Go to bed, tomorrow when it’s daylight you can read books or deep clean your bathroom. Hours of fun for all.

[GetTheFlockOutOfHere]

Just play youtube on your phone . We had a power cut earlier, and I just played a youtube mix.

[GetTheFlockOutOfHere]

A youtube mix of music I mean. OR you could watch a film on there. OR watch ITV or BBC player.

Its wild. All roads are blocked. Power lines and internet lines are snapped and down.

[JustLikea]

Pick a famous person and the other one of you has to guess them by asking you 5 yes or no questions

[FolkyFoxFace]

Spooky stories are my fave in power cuts!

I hope you have wine.

[kindlyensure]

Make a little electricity of your own. Sparks will fly.

We are night hawks.
