Happy new year

Happy new year 🥳

Hope everyone is well. I’ve had a lovely week off work.

I was back to work on Wednesday and I wish I'd taken this week off! Very jealous that you've been off this week @AlviarinAesSedai 😁.

DS was pleased to get back to school - I think he's missed the social bit with being as we've had the virus that's doing the rounds so haven't been out as much as we'd like over Christmas and New Year.

We've finally had progress on our move and hopefully will be moving next month 🤞🏻.

Hope everyone's having a good start to their year!

That’s brilliant news re your move. My children never liked going back to school.
We haven’t had the virus, but give it time.I have cursed us haven’t I!!
Do wish spring would hurry up, I’m so over the dark mornings and nights. And the damp weather.

Oo exciting news re the move,

Thank you both. Exciting but v stressful - our poor solicitor is often receiving emails at 2 in the morning!

I can't wait for the longer evenings and lighter mornings @AlviarinAesSedai - it just feels so miserable at the moment. Especially when it's raining like today.

Fingers crossed you avoid the virus!

Which town are you going for north D? Or south D?
yes I know one is technically a city

@Someaddedsugar Good luck for your move

The weather is so dreary at the moment!

There are engineering works taking place affecting Durham and Darlington stations for several weekends in January and February, just in case helpful to anyone: www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/durham-station-closure-upgrade-dates-25895499.amp

Thank you! It's south D @lifelongfrugaleer. Just hoping we can get everything over the line in time and can find DS a primary school!

Thank you for the rail info - I'll let DP know as he was planning on going to the match on Sunday.

Ooo hello neighbor @Someaddedsugar shout if you need any help

Thanks @lifelongfrugaleer. As soon as we get this over the line I'm sure I'll be in touch with a billion questions 😂

Hasn't it been miserable today. The A691 heading to Durham was completely flooded this afternoon.

I’m here @Someaddedsugar

the rain Is awful, I’m sick of it

DP said it's meant to be sunny tomorrow. He works outside and checks the weather regularly and I now believe him over the weather section on the news 😂

Apparently we’re promised snow next week!

Is that across the north east @Gilead?

I hope it's proper snow rather than the little showers that disappear!

@Someaddedsugar, It says heavy snow DH8 on Monday!

The snow has arrived. ❄️
Anyone on Facebook, who enjoyed the Italian restaurant drama on a Stanley Facebook page. Best laugh I have had for ages. Even made the local papers.

@AlviarinAesSedai Yep, saw that, not the right sort of clientele in Stanley! 🧐
