we have had more snow today. Avas nursery was closed yesterday so she came here.She has an awful cold and because conditions are so bad she stayed the night and missed nursery today.
We had to pop out for a while this morning to deliver my auntys birthday present but dont want to go out any more. I'm expecting my shopping to be delivered this afternoon but there are always things I forget so will probably have to pop out tomorrow anyway lol.
$andie, most colours go with grey. Years ago I had a grey tiled bathroom and had some pink and some burgundy towels.

Hi ladies~~

It was a beautiful frosty morning - 3 degrees at 9am... but the white stuff started to fall at about 11.30
It's only fine and the roads are clear but wet.
My patio looks like a dominoes board, cos altho it all looks the same colour now when it was originally put down, there were some green and red tiles amongst the grey, snow gathers quickly on the grey but not on the others.lol

This site is playing up again:(... thought I'd lost all my typing for a mo, when I went to correct but ,cos it was spelled butt , I got the Help clinic Board and it froze on me !

Keep warm folks:)

Hi Paula~~~

Must have been typing at the same time.LOL

Sorry hear Ava has a nasty cold, son still hasn't rid of his yet !

It's very fine snow now, Metcheck suggests it will clear up by 6 pm !

We had light grey tiles before, with 3 patterns separated around the room which had a pale pink orchid looking flower in the design (each one having 9 tiles..I think.lol ) and the border had pink orchids in it.
I'm quite fancying a turquoise or teal coloured accessories.. haven't passed that idea around anyone yet:)
I usually get my way:))

Take care in all this nasty weather ladies , looked bad on the news, I's surprised we've got away so lightly yet !

morning we are almost snowed in here I am not going far today at all

more snow on and off all day. Our preacher for tomorrow has cancelled.Roads are really bad.
$andie, I think teal is gorgeous, go for it.

morning all it is like a sheet of ice here we have a family service Ray is coming so hopefully he will get there

9 turned up at church this morning, not too bad considering there are only 15 of us anyway. Still snowing............

morning all we had about 20 Ray did not travel over but we had a lovely time we have had loads of snow overnight

morning all day off here

Morning ladies~~

Gosh , wondered why you were ' late' Maz.lol

Gone are the days when I use to get up very early when it was snowy, and tune in to our local radio station to find out which schools had been closed.

It's snowed again overnight, our road is white with2 inches of snow, can't see the main road, it's a bit foggy.
Will have to get out with my snow shoveler later to redo the path around the house and the drive. Rest of patio and garden is now about 5 - 6 inches deep,cos the first snowfalls haven't cleared and we're likely to have more.
It's so easy to use and so light, my arms and back used to ache for days when I used the garden spade (shovel was much too heavy for me )
It was minus 5 most of yesterday ,maybe ' warmer ' today cos of the fog but that seems to be lifting and the wind is picking up:(((

Keep warm folks :)

have one or both grandchildren all week. Ava even slept a couple of nights. School is open 9-2 tomorrow which means I will have to pick our Cara up as Rochelle cant get back from work in time.
We have cancelled a church business meeting on Saturday and a fish and chip lunch at church next Tuesday because of the weather.It's been dreadful the past couple of days.Gary and I went for our flu jabs last night and had to park on the main road and walk part of the way to the doctors.
The surgery was empty and we got straight in and out. There were a few cars that looked abandoned I was so pleased to get back home.

Should be in bed ...but same old same old with the joints, I'd go out for a walk excep[ for the snow !

We had quite a few heavy snow falls today, I was a bit worried as my 3 were out in their cars.Dau has never driven her new car in snow before and was a bit wary, hubby's new car is not too good in the snow and son finished work at 10pm, but they all managed to get home safely up our hill (quite steep).
Dau is going to Centre Parks tomorrow !!, her freinds dad who is taking them to the railway station has failed to get his car home and is parked at the car park at the bottom of our hill!! They live the opposite of the main road to us but up an even steeper hill,we can see their house across the valley are on about the same level as them. Happy days !

Glad you've managed to have your flu jabs Paula, I 'd have one if I was eligble. I have to be thankful i have no health probs to fall into the categories to need one:)

Sleep well and keep warm:)

morning we have had a couple of inches again overnight but it is freezing now so that will be the biggest challenge .all our activities are cancelled upto sunday the preacher may not make it but we will meet together

Hi ladies~~

Don't know if we had snow over night , may have had it before midnight , just a heavy frost again. Roads are nasty tho !
Had a lift over to A*da with hubby this morning and then had my half an hour walk back, all snowy under foot but I had my 'Kickers' shoes on with a thick tread, great when the snow has been compacted , need wellies if it's fresher snow !
Oh ! temp must have dropped heating has come on , on the thermostat.
I'm going out now to see if my 90 yr old neighbour is walking her dog, I always like to give her an arm under hers in this weather:)

morning all sandie well done we need to keep an eye on them all dont we

it was very very cold last night.I heard the pup crying around 5-30 this morning but decided to ignore her and stay in bed.Got up at half seven and came down. She had pood in her cage all over her blanket so I wished I had got up earlier lol
Have been busy dusting and general sorting/tidying this morning as didn't get a lot done through the week while the girls were here. I'm hoping to put the Christmas tree up this afternoon. It's a job I really hate... putting it up and taking it down, although I like to see it. Rochelle and Richard both have theirs up already for the little ones so I thought we had better get ours down from the loft too.
Hopefully Tes*o will make it with my shopping delivery this afternoon.Gary went out for meat and veg for tomorrow and we have bread and milk and dog food etc so will be ok for a couple more days if the Tes*o van can't get here.
Pup can go out now and I was looking forward to walking her on the pavements to wear her sharp little claws down a bit but with the snow it's not happening lol.
Everyone passing by my house appears to be a foot taller because the snow is banked so high. We are unlucky that the pavement is very narrow and when the plough comes through it shoves the snow onto the path, plus with what comes off the roof ,there are mini mountains everywhere.
Hope you are managing to keep warm and that none of us slip on the ice this winter.We have no preacher tomorrow , one of our own men is taking the service and our president will be taking the sacrament service straight after.
