Hello Y'All Wink

Just reading back - that sounds a bit scary Willow Shock Something similar happened to me last week on snow, complete whiteout, a lorry going in the opposite direction splashed a load of slushy snow on my windscreen, wash wipe was frozen and just smeared it across the screen... and a load of traffic behind me! Nightmare!

I survived at work, feel knackered but have to go out in an hour.

Ah, this is where you're hiding Grin

Horse, where are you off to now other than bed?
book you sound so busy!
That sounds very scary Willow hope it all calms down now!

It's lovey to see you Jane Sorry to hear you've been unwell.

Hope you're feeling better Squirrels

Only 6 miles Selena Hmm I think it's the right decision to drop some hours there too.

I was out from 9:30 to 4pm which is completely unheard of...but baby didn't cry apart from mum dropping off. Did mean coming in and having to put washing up/sort tea/hoover and spellings for DS too! Not much else to report here. Stories and bed time soon and then it's me and the crochet hook.

Hi Jane, sorry to hear things keep going wrong x


ekk Willow, sounds scary. Very annoying with ds1's computer monitor as well.

Busy day cake, have a relaxing evening.

Selena, sounds like the right decision.

Went to work today, still washed out but not ill anymore. So much to do, February is usually my catch up month but I don't think I have.

Just dropped boys at joggers then went to coop in next village for milk - and none available due to bad weather, it was 12c here today. V annoying as joggers is in Newmarket and I could have gone to Tesco or Adsa but decided to just go to the Coop on the way back instead.

Hi all. Got lots of extra hours at work this week. Went to Aldi with Mum this afternoon but haven't done much else other than work.

Asda only had red milk which is ludicrous as we had hardly any snow! Also hardly any fruit!

Have a restful evening 84, guess it keeps you out of trouble Wink

Evening all
Just put down my crochet .
Glad you found me ( but hardly my corner Willow !)
Horse - you must be worn out after the early start
still no milk MrsJ and Chasing Shock we haven't had any problem here at all ..
I have just been doing a bit of crafting for the WH sale , wanted to get finished to send off with other stuff I am posting off.
Tomorrow, off early to look after DGS - he is fine now, so more bored than anything else it seems . Will have to go and play football in the garden I think.
Have a good day tomorrow
Night, sleep tight everyone

Sun is actually out!
Yesterday was like pea soup, not great going to work couldnt see 3 car lengths in front of you. Work quiet enough so actually quite relaxed for a change.

Book just teasing you as you started the new thread so you should get to name it Smile

Apparently have a parents evening re careers choices for ds1 tonight!

Lovely day today, DH used to call them 'Gift Days'. Did spinning, met friend for coffee, ex client wanted a chat session so I called into Lidl on my way - and they were just topping up the cinnamon buns, so had to get one Blush! Apparently local Sainsbury's have loads of empty cold food shelves due to 'adverse' weather, yet no problems with any of the other supermarkets.

Hope everyone's having a good day - Horse, painting and I really don't mix, so I'm impressed, door or not. I once got more over me than there could have been in the sample pot!
Hope parents' evening goes well, Willow.

Your post got by me, Jones. There's a charity bag collection tomorrow (and my cleaner day Smile) which spurred me on to sort 3 more bags = Charity and rubbish bag full and out ready to go, one shelf filled. Getting there, wherever there might be Grin.

Well done!

There are no click and collect slots or home delivery slots for Tesco tomorrow - it's 6 days since we had snow tomorrow! Hmm

Means I will have to brave the shop with a list Angry

I have eaten my body weight in sugar if that makes you feel better - I'm blaming germs and hormones and sheer exhaustion

Getting better, not 100% yet. Hopefully another step on the way today.

Hope Wilf is okay 84.

Been missing John quite a bit, I guess it's being unwell. It's always a space but at the moment it's bigger.
Two years ago we were just telling people we'd decided to get married and couldn't have been happier, then bam with his sudden illness and diagnosis.
One year ago he was dying.

I miss him so much.
