Uni, main roads are ok, so long as it doesn't snow again! (derbyshire and nottm have gritted the main ones and the M1 was fine earlier, when I went over it) you should get to south of Leeds no probs (avoid Manchester side as more snow that way, cut across at Brum n you should be ok), although Xmas eve there is snow forecast for here, the bbc one on tv just now said xmas eve morning, but the one on bbc website says xmas eve evning?! metcheck says xmas eve overnight then lunchtime onwards, which will make driving anywhere a PITA, good luck! and if you get stuck anywhere near me, feel free to shout and come and stay if you need to. How's your dh feeling?
LL {{{Hugs}}} your poor girls not liking the snow, dd2 got a snowball in the face from one of the bigger lads on the close the other day, came in crying and snowy bless her. Dd1 was whingy about it last year, but my enforced giant snowman competition with the rest of the street competing, seemed to get her into it (she's still not that into sledging though) which reminds me of the boy who I heard whinging to his mum yesterday that he had snow on his new sledge whilst she tried to explain that's what happens! I hope you can manage to dig yourself out enough to get food and presents? though I see you're getting more snow overnight tonight........can you take the sledge to the store? (leaving the kids with dh?)
Astro, carols on the beach that sounds lovely, whilst we're all loving the snow, hot sounds so nice too
Took car to dad's mate for 2nd opinion today, he said its the wheel bearings, so took back to local garage and told them, they listened again, agreed and its booked in tomorrow for new bearings......so not the costly gearbox repair I'd feared at garage.......
