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.

I washed my oodie and thought about how nice the new growth on my plants was coming on after the last couple of weeks

Never again

Norgie · 31/03/2022 16:55

I think I'm partially to blame too, for sitting in the garden last week and commenting that the weather is gorgeous and I hope it lasts.
Sincere apologies 🤐

TheNestedIf · 31/03/2022 16:55

Well, it's not my fault. I didn't plant the tomatoes, sweetcorn or pumpkins last weekend.

You people. Honestly.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 31/03/2022 17:04

Are you sure? I think it's because i turned off the central heating at the beginning of March and there is a threatened mutiny if I don't restore it.

I bought some theatre tickets as an advance birthday present for someone tomorrow. It's likely they won't be able to travel to the theatre because their rail service shuts down at the slightest provocation.

I'm happy to share responsibility for this and shall inform the family.

I ordered a ton of summer clothes from next. Far too over excited.

JudgementalRaccoon · 31/03/2022 17:05

I planted out my tulips, and put the scarves away. Please forgive my foolishness!

FloralsForSpring · 31/03/2022 17:05

What are you all playing at? My neighbour is trying to have a bbq here and it keeps alternating snow and sun

LBFseBrom · 31/03/2022 17:06

You had snow? We had hail, so there.

Billybagpuss · 31/03/2022 17:07

I put my seedlings in a cold greenhouse now I have to scrabble around in the garage to find some bubble wrap to protect them with.

On a plus note, if it’s snowing can we light the fire and drink wine?

FloralsForSpring · 31/03/2022 17:08

@MrOllivander

I shaved my legs Blush
YOU DID WHAT?! QUICK GROW IT BACK
FloralsForSpring · 31/03/2022 17:09

@Billybagpuss that's a point. I've got a fancy winter candle that is nearly finished. I might be able to get through it if I hurry.

lindyloo57 · 31/03/2022 17:09

I put fake tan on my legs last week, now they are wrapped up in thermal leggings.

IcakethereforeIam · 31/03/2022 17:10

I'll do what I can to salvage this, erm...I have wool! I'll knit something!

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 31/03/2022 17:10

Oh, there you all go, casting your clouts before May is out- totally reckless behaviour! I am SHOOKETH!

Aposterhasnoname · 31/03/2022 17:13

My fault I’m afraid. Flying back from holiday today with only sundresses and sandals to wear. Didn’t think I’d need anything warmer due to the nice weather when we flew out. If you hear on the news that a woman’s been found frozen to death at a bus stop in Manchester airport, that’ll be me.

DeadButDelicious · 31/03/2022 17:16

It's me I'm afraid! I painted my toenails as it's been so mild I've been wearing sandals.

shinynewapple22 · 31/03/2022 17:16

I got my sun lounger chairs out of the storage box and set them out in the garden . We won't see sun again!

Giggorata · 31/03/2022 17:18

Really sorry, but I planted my ginger and garlic.
Trying to make amends by getting out my heated throw…

Chickychickydodah · 31/03/2022 17:18

Shame on you all, daring to have fun and order summer things. Good grief 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣

miroo · 31/03/2022 17:18

If we're confessing...

Shaved my legs
Did school pick up in flip flops
Bought Suncream
Let DD buy an ice cream from the ice cream van

and (and this is the biggie...)

Took the elecic blanket off the bed 😱

LadyCordeliaFitzgerald · 31/03/2022 17:19

Ok everyone! We just need to chant this in unison

shed ne’er a clout ‘til May is oot

As long as no fool takes off a cardigan we’ll be fine.

Gingernaut · 31/03/2022 17:19

I took the week off.

I set about burning garden rubbish, started eeing up plants at Homebase, doing a big Spring clean and decluttering.

Sorry.

Gingernaut · 31/03/2022 17:20

eyeing up.

I don't have any cardigans...

Sorry, again.

shinynewapple22 · 31/03/2022 17:20

Where did they go @awmum2b ?

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 31/03/2022 17:20

DH bought and fitted an awning to shield the sun on the patio. Definitely his fault.
