Rita, we have just had to clear our car of snow. Roly will not go out on the roads without our roof, lights, number plate or windscreens clear. It's different if you are actually travelling in a snow storm, there is no way of clearing the number plate then. Unless of course you stop every few yards to clear it, and cause a traffic jam behind you. LOL

No news yet from Marilyn. I do hope Pete is o.k. I have never known indigestion last as long as he had it. Please god that he be alll right.

We have had a phone call from our son, could we please go and pick his Fiance up from work at 2.00p.m. Oh god, we did not intend to go out, but as the poor girl had the fright of falling in the snow on Saturday,and spending over three hours at the hopsital, we thought it better we try and get her. Can't have her falling again this late in her pregnancy. So if you don't hear from me by 5.00p.m send out the search parties, we may be stuck in Maidstone, trying to get back up the steep Bluebell Hill.

Bye for now folks. Mo xxx

I thought I would tell you my friend Carole went to do some shopping this morning. and parked her car in the car park. an AA man was there and he told her that she should clear the snow off the top of her car (it was about 2 inches deep ) and make sure her number plate and lights were clear of it.. his friend was pulled up and fine because he had not cleared the snow of the top of his car.he said it was because the snow could move and cover the number plate and lights .
I said what about all the cars parked on the roads snow bound ? they would have a job clearing the snow off them.
It appears it is illegal if you dont. thought I would let you know.anyone heard this before. ?

Morning all it is so bad here thick snow and ice no way will I go out there in this. My friend from upstairs knocked on my door and said come on the washing machine is waiting and off he went washing and all. I will have to buy him something when I am well enough and can go out.

Marilyn I had a feeling somthing was not right ? when we didnt hear anything from you. I started to worry then. but the good thing is Pete is in hospital and can be looked after there imagine if you had been snowed in and could not get to the hospital. my thoughts and prayers are with you and Pete. bless you both.

I am wondering if we are retuning to the ice age. ?it is so quiet you cannot hear any traffic.

Hope everyone is warm and take care when you go out and about.

Sorry to read thet Pete is now in hospital
Hope they can sort things out very quickly for him
I will be thinking of you both and all your family.

Have had all our lot here this afternoon to celebrate hubbys birthday. He enjoyed a walk with 4 of the children and 2 dogs in the snow.
Then back home for a few drinks and a lovely roast beef dinner, followed by apple pie then chees and biscuits.
He liked his cards and presents too.

Hope everyone is OK and staying safe

Maddie,

I was honestly thinking of how cold your bum would get wearing one.

Far better to wear thermals or long wooly bloomers on this trip ROFL

Mind you know telling where we could finish up !!!!!!

Be prepared for anything.

PS What is a 'Sauce Boat' ?

Good Evening Everyone.

Hope you are all well and warm.

I see Marilyn has her husband in hospital. Please God he will be fine. I shall say one for them both tonight.

Stephen, I think I know you by now you little tease. When you say you DONT want thongs, what you really mean is, that you DO. lol

I can tell by the glint in your eye that you are looking for a sauce box. You naughtly boy. Tuts.

So where are we meeting for this sleigh ride. Will it involve land travel, or will you have Rudolph and Co. flying, so that you can come down South and pick up your hareem?

Note to self, look out that outfit that Maria Carey wore in that video. Santa hat, red dress trimmed with white fur, and little red bootees.

Santa Baby, la de da, de dum de de dum. Hums to self, while looking in the back of the wardrobe.

edit. Just seen the photos Pauline. You're a clever old stick aint you. The one of me looks like a picture I had taken in my pram. It was b/w and then hand painted. I have the reddest lips, I look like I have been in the jam pot. Also blue eyes, and mine are green. lol
