Hi all,
Firstly welcome to all the oldies and newbies!
Apologies for such a me, me, me post but Im in such a bad mood!!!!.
Have been missing for the past few days as have been doing some major cramming for an exam this morning (that I should have studied for ages ago).
Anyway, our childminder isnt starting back until next Monday so as dh had to be in work today, and dd's school is still closed as its too dangerous to go anywhere near it (yes thats 2 full weeks off!), MIL was going to mind DC while dh and I were away (she lives 30 mins away), none of us should have been out but a case of having to be.
Plan was for DH to leave house quite early, to drop kids the 30 mins away and then drive 30 mins in another direction to work. I would leave in plenty of time to make my exam at 9.30am so I could grab a coffee in college, try relax myself (very nervous) and have a last read through all my revision notes.
DH went off, at 8.15 I got in car - couldnt get up my avenue. Took 8 attempts, couldnt get up hill after 5 attempts - have never seen ice like this. Unbelievable. Went other way, got to another very steep hill, thought I was going to make it - nope. Stuck half of car in ditch, other have stretched across middle of very narrow country road.
Very isolated, rural area. Got of car and literally just slid and slid, walked to nearest house to look for help or a push. No one there. No other houses. Rang DH in panic, is 30 mins away and shouts at me for going that way 
. Start to cry, cant get through to office in the college. Ring our (farmer) neighbour who has tractors and jeeps and other such things, tells me he'll be straight there but is about 15 mins away. DH says he doesnt care if hes late for work, is on his way to help.
I sit in car for 40 mins, half praying someone would come along to help/ half praying someone wouldnt come incase they would bang straight into me as they came down hill. Not one person passes. DH rings, roads have gotton so bad he cant get to me, is on local main road. Neighbour rings and tells me he is now also stuck in a jam type thing with 2 other neighbours. 9.10am Im still there and exam starts at 9.30. Finally get through to college who said I may be allowed to sit the exam if late, they werent sure .
Finally neighbour arrives and tows my car out of the way to the side of the road, I abandon it on side of the road and he gives me lift to main road where dh is waiting and he brings me to college (was 30 mins late for exam but thankfully they let me sit it) and he was late for work.
Was all worked up and upset and forgot loads in exam, also when I finally did start remembering things I ran out of time as could really have done with extra half hour. 
One of the examiners, gorgeous lady I caught eyeing my bump quitely snuck out and with her own money bought me a sweet cup of tea and snuck it to me in exam.
I am also after developing 4 of these gorgeous things - on my damn face!! and one on my neck, which is driving me insane. Apparantly can be due to pregnancy.www.medicinenet.com/skin_tag/article.htm
