We didn't eat cake - we did have a very nice lunch which was very full - it was just me and Indith.

Will arrange another one for the New Year.

FrozenNorthPole · 18/12/2010 20:51

I'm so sorry I wasn't there - I got stuck in possibly the world's biggest queue in the post-office, then had a loud and embarrassing argument about Christmas dinner with DH in Marks and Spencer and then realised that it was past one o'clock ... please forgive me Kara and Indith, I hate it when people promise to come to things and don't and I know my excuse is particularly pathetic!

KaraStarbuckThrace · 19/12/2010 09:35

Oh no, doesn't sound like you had a good morning!! We will meet up again in the New Year.

juneybean · 19/12/2010 11:20

I'd quite like this year to end now please :)

Indith · 19/12/2010 16:45

Supposed to be going to Center Parcs Nottingham...they have no snow that I'm aware of :( just typical isn't it!

I'd hate to be stuck on a motorway like

juneybean · 20/12/2010 09:05

I have a huge cake if anyone wants to come round and eat it...

KaraStarbuckThrace · 20/12/2010 09:58

Juneybean - the roads are clear from Teesside - Sheffield, if that helps?

juneybean · 20/12/2010 10:00

It's my dear friend in Bedfordshire not able to get to notts. I've no problem driving in our little snow, but you know what these southerners are like Wink

Chocaholica · 20/12/2010 11:05

Oh Juney what a PITA. Poor you - might she be able to set off later?

We're here all day, we've already made wonky fairy cakes,you'd be welcome to come over, but I'd guess you want an adult rest day!

juneybean · 20/12/2010 11:31

She hadn't even tried, she's now decided to try and get some petrol and see how that goes... I will keep my fingers crossed! Otherwise I will be there for wonky fairy cakes Grin

juneybean · 20/12/2010 11:31

And I promise I won't whinge as much in 2011....hopefully...

Curiousmama · 20/12/2010 12:02

Hope you get away Juneybean?

I'm feeling so lazy today and dp is putting me to shame, he's cleaning like a demon. Although to be fair for he next few days he'll be either on nights or sleeping so I'm trying not to feel too guiltyBlush

We went to wakefield yesterday to see dsd and the roads were good apart from a little bit teesside way which was a bit scary when the right hand lane disappeared under snow and the middle lane was busy. Dp coped very well though.

juneybean · 20/12/2010 14:13

Still here and I've cracked open an alcopop :(

Curiousmama · 20/12/2010 14:50

Sad Don't you fancy going alone? I'm sure you'd be ok there's always someone to chat to.

juneybean · 20/12/2010 14:56

Ooo no I have low self-esteem as it is :( and then I'd hate it if I got snowed in by myself. You want to come with me? Grin

Indith · 20/12/2010 15:02

You think dh would notice if I went with you juney?

Curiousmama · 20/12/2010 15:29

I'd love to wish I had some cash Smile I love centre parcs especially this time of year.

Indith yes I think he may just notice Wink

How long are/were you going for juneybean?

juneybean · 20/12/2010 15:31

Hahah just sneak out Indith!

It was a pre-xmas break Mon - Wed, but to make it longer we had booked sunday night at the local hotel!

Wasn't impressed with the hotel "you know you won't get any money back" yes I was aware of that actually!!!!!!

Curiousmama · 20/12/2010 15:38

So sorry about that. Is she totally snowed in?

juneybean · 20/12/2010 15:38

The roads in her town are just completely ice and she has a silly little car Grin
