Marilyn
Would you believe it !! Hubby is on late shift until Monday at 11:00 then Tuesday is his first day off for 3 days and back to work on Friday, so he won't be there at all.
If you get stuck let me know by pm and we will see if we can help, ovenight bed to aclimatise you both before you go back to Devon or anything else. Did you catch a coach up to Heathrow

Have a warm sunny day Marilyn.
The rest of us keep as warm as possible, hope Marilyn is packing her case full of sunshine, we sure need it

Cor Shelly, we really wanted to know about your snotty nose pmsl.
Is little man staying in hospital tommorrow, or is it for them to check his last op.
I think you should buy some long johns, to wear under your trousers.
God forbid should you have a mishap, and end up in hospital for yourself,and they take your jeans of and find your P.J bottoms underneath.
Did your mum never tell you to have clean undies,in case of accidents.
We always had to have a clean vest and knickers on, when we went anywhere, just in case. I began to think that justin case was a person.

Linda I like to watch programes like that on clearing the runways And I found it so interesting I had not realised how it was done,
when I first went abroard I went with my sister to Amsterdam and we went with Birmmingham ariways. it was a lovely flight took 45 minutes. we went for ten days coming back we had a later flight so it was dark when we were due to leave the Airport at Amsterdam . and I was sitting looking out of the window from the airport lounge when our plane landed to take us back home after they had let everyone off I saw two air personel looking under the plane with torches. I said to my sister I am not going on that, they have a problem must be somthing wrong with the under carriage she burst out laughing and said they check the planes before we take off. I felt a right fool.

Marilyn your neighbour must be on Warfarin. I hope he is alright.

Shelly you do need long Johns under your trousers I wore them in Norfolk they were very comforatble and kept me warm.

Home again.

Safe ?
Yes.....but no thanks to some idiots who are out on the roads and don't have a bloody clue how to drive.
I'm finding that those in large 4 x 4s are about the worst of all. They think they are invincible and the machines can do anything............
Sorry mate.....if you don't have driving skills in the first place......your machine still won't do it.
Stay at home and let others get on with the driving.

RANT over

Evening all.

Sorry about that but as you will have gathered I am pretty peeeeed off by some really amateur drivers.

Other than that I've have had a good day.

Going to have my tea in a minute or so.......take deep breaths....calm down... and come back refreshed.

watch your blood pressure Stephen dont want to over boil not good for you.
I have had others tell me they have had problem with people on the roads who have never driven in snow and ice and have been really silly with some of the things they have been doing.
I am glad I am not driving now.

Shelly I think I will pop over to dinner with you I love Toad in the Hole it is one of my favourite dinners,
I like bacon suet pudding as well dont have that much now as it is very fattening,
I made a meat stew and had that at dinner time *Lunch to some of you". I have a whole saucpan full so will put it into pour bags and freeze some otherwise I will be eating stew all week and next week too lol
I love roast dinners with potatoe;s batter pudding , greens and butter beans and parsnips
Now I feel hungry.
Keep warm.
I looked out into the car park a little while ago and the snow is glittering like stars so it must be icing up.

Evening everyone, and hello to Pat.

Mommy Christmas for Mo. Blimey girl, you sure know how to confuse me dont you. Christmas names eh. Might give that a go.

Stephen, still waiting for Neil Oliver on toast. Never mind about your journey home, send him down the hatch. lol. Seriously, I hope you have calmed yourself now, and have had something hot to eat, and are in a better frame of mind. I know how Kevin comes in from work, depending on his mood, how many people have cut him up on his bike.

Our snow is now freezing over, that that will be fun going to work tomorrow. I look like a geisha tip-toeing to work. I am so afraid of falling over, I take tiny steps. I turned a corner this morning, and it was a sheet of ice. So I managed to get past on about 3 inches of pavement, holding onto a wall.

I didnt know Marilyn was coming home so soon. I thought she couldn't come to the Meet because she would not be back until April. Maybe I got it wrong. Will she send us a piccie of herself in the socks and sandals I wonder. pmsl

Hope everyone is warm and well.
See you later.

Had a lot more snow today. My arms feel as though they have a Snow Shovel attached to them.......permanently. LOL

Mrs Stephen and I along with four friends were booked in for a four day break at a 5* Spa. Guess what ? The resort is snowed in. So it's a no go for us. Or showed that read 'snow go for us' . Have rebooked for later in the month.

Enjoyed my wee trip to Florida last night. A bit too hot for me though.

Hoping I can find a suitable drift of snow in the next week or so that will enable me to dig a snow cave for my wee grandaughters. That should be fun. Mrs Stephen has drawn the line at sleeping in it though.....she dosen't know what she's missing.

Catch you later. Off to clear some more snow. It's fresh powder so will be light as a feather.

Rita, my boots are black not white, white shows up the dirt to much,coz I am a mucky kid. Plus I need to keep my white ones for best, for when I go visiting with father christmas on christmas eve.
The children expect it dont ya know. I am having problems with the elves, they are not working to their hardest . I will have to give them more hot chocolate, to get them moving again.
And the reindeer have all got colds,and runny noses, Rudolph is suffering the most, his nose is rather red and sore.
I am getting cramps in my fingers opening all the kiddies letters. Oh my word, the presents get bigger every year. If it carries on like this, I can see us having go get ourselves an Arctic Lorrie for the deliveries, the poor reindeer cant carry the weight for much longer.

Stay safe and warm all of you poor people having to go to work tommorrow

Last post of the night from me.

Got the agenda now Marilyn. Good on yer girl. Why not get out of the cold if you can. How lovely to be trotting off again so soon. You say Norwich for Christmas, but is that a coded name for Sandringham. Are you having Chrissy day with Liz and Phil. I know we are all Dames, but I havent had my invitation yet.

Mo you look lovely as MommyChristmas. Sort of like Mariah Carey in the video. All frolicking in the snow with puppies. lol

Putting Neil Oliver in the cupboard overnight, with a sleeping bag and a cup of hot chocolate. He will keep cosy in there, and then he can talk a bit more tomorrow.

Hope everyone is warm and well.

Night night all.
