I’m really sorry but the snow is my fault…

We put grass seeds down, talked about picnics and a visit to the beach when it gets warm.

Clearly we’re being punished for my transgressions.

It’s so cold my knee has started to hurt.

Quick, try to build a snowman and order skis online, it’s our only hope Grin

Nope it's my fault. I packed away my winter clothes in a box and sealed it as we have sold our house and I figured I wouldn't need them until we were in the new house... I opened the box up again this morning! It's bloody baltic!

I thought it was mine. I washed all my warm hats and gloves I use for dog walking. Thought I could put them away until next winter.
Maybe if we both put all our sandals, flip flops, sunglasses and sun hats in storage the weather will change back.

I think I may be somewhat culpable too as I bought some lovely silver summery shoes on Tuesday

Hugasauras · 31/03/2022 15:30

Also to blame.
I ordered a climbing frame and trampoline when I got carried away by the weather last week.

Marmite27 · 31/03/2022 15:30

Sorry, but our nursery manager is at fault here. On Friday she asked for woolly hats to be replaced by sun hats in the children’s bags!

Dammitthisisshit · 31/03/2022 15:31

I planted out my bulbs that said to plant in April, because ‘it’s nearly April and the cold weather has passed’.

Sorry all.

SirChenjins · 31/03/2022 15:31

I got carried away and hung my washing out to dry. I also removed my thermal vest and started looking at sandals online. I live in Edinburgh ffs - the sandal weather doesn’t arrive for another 5 months.

GeneLovesJezebel · 31/03/2022 15:32

I bought t-shirts last week and put my garden brolly out !

LaWench · 31/03/2022 15:32

We are in the process of getting a new heating system but DD has given me Covid. My plumber can't come and finish off the work until I'm negative. This house is so cold. 🥶

Our nursery asked for sun cream

I bought a summery dress for the first time in about 10 years at the weekend. Sorry but I'm also to blame Grin

ReeseWitherfork · 31/03/2022 15:35

I’m disappointed in all of you. Everyone knows you don’t make direct eye contact with the nice weather, you don’t speak to it, you don’t acknowledge it.

AllTheSunshine · 31/03/2022 15:38

I put my thermals and my gloves away.

I'm sorry 😞

Rayna37 · 31/03/2022 15:40

I concluded the false spring was so that we can get out our summery clothes looking at you, white jeans then realise they don't fit and have a few weeks to tackle that before we actually need them?!

Blossomtoes · 31/03/2022 15:42

I bought summer trousers last week. Sorry everyone 😢

LunaLoveFood · 31/03/2022 15:43

I thought it was mine... grass seeds out down at weekend and new summer hats bought for dc.

Rawmum30 · 31/03/2022 15:44

It’s like everyone is saying “No, I’M Spartacus!”
🤭

CounsellorTroi · 31/03/2022 15:45

I’ve just bought a summery maxi skirt and a peasanty blouse. Sorry.

There might be more than a grain of truth in that. We also have time to find the razor, deal with any nasty fungal toenail infections and practise fake tanning before giving up and buying lightweight trousers.
lkjhgfd · 31/03/2022 15:46

Sincere apologies. I straightened my hair AND shaved my legs. Also put suncream in the kids school/nursery bags

SparkleSpangle · 31/03/2022 15:48

We had a BBQ on Sunday. Sorry.

sqirrelfriends · 31/03/2022 15:48

Sorry, i got my summer clothes out from under the bed, put my big coat away AND ordered some linen joggers.

I am clearly to blame.

trevthecat · 31/03/2022 15:49

I'm sorry, I may have also contributed. We bought garden furniture last weekend

Cindie943811A · 31/03/2022 15:50

We’ve had to have a tree that shaded the summer house removed because of disease . Last week it was so hot we purchased a new large sun umbrella. We should have touched wood so as not to tempt fate. So sorry
