Just ask Stephen, he will tell you it is when we all have had a sniff of the Barmaids Apron, and we have a 'thing thong'

Usually, the arias from Madam Butterfly.

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.

"I'm dreaming of a green Christmas".

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. ?

Rita

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 had to walk to work this morning!

I find it difficult to speak to people who are not listening.

I've been a party pooper. I refused to build a snowman and play snowballs!

Patricia.....

What a shame......you could maybe have pelted the Boss as part of the fun.

How far to walk to work ? What you may need is a Motorised Sledge if this weather continues.

Home sharp today before it gets dark.

Temperature here is going to really plummet tonight. As low as -18C.

Hope all is well with Pete and Marilyn.

Catch you all later.

Advice given on the radio today saying you should take your hands out of your pockets when walking in the snow.

Of course, my hands are not the only ones in my pockets as HMRC can confirm.

Helloo, I made it back from my expedition, future D.I.L dropped of safetly at home.
The main roads are pretty clear, but it's our side roads that are the problem.

Hi Dermot, not ignoring you,I am listening. We are always green, with all the re-cycling we do. It's just this white stuff thats laying on top our our green that's cheesing me of.

Pat we had loads of snow we cleared from the car, and drive you could have built your snowman with.
Have a safe journey home after work.

I will try and pop back later,as I have got darts tonight.

Dermot as long as your hands are out of your pocket your safe. I am not sure you are with HMRC though
perhaps they need warm hands.



My sister went into London this morning to collect a parcel and she said she was suprised it was clear.
where she lives in Hampstead it was thick snow and ice.

I am going to have a cup of tea and watch a chick film on TV . thats what one of my sons calls them


Rita

Good luck with your darts Mo.

Marilyn, I hope everything's alright with Pete, please try to get back on and tell us how he is. I've got my fingers crossed that it's nothing too serious.

Rita, I knew the police could fine anyone who didn't clear the snow off their car. They have to be able to see the number plate and it could be dangerous if it fell off the roof onto the windscreen.

Hope everyone who's out, manages to get back home safely.

I tried to do some shopping today but spent most of the time queuing to get in and out of car parks.

In a few of the shops I went into, the queues were so long at the checkout that I just put the things back on the shelves and left.

Stephen, we aren't going to have it as cold as you, our temperature is going to drop to -12°C tonight. I'm just hoping we don't get any more snow.

Glad you managed to get your DIL home and get yourselves back home safely Mo.

Dermot, I thought you were going to say it was your wife that had her hands in your pockets.

Pat, our snow was too dry to make a snowman or snowballs ...............I tried.

The people at the sorting office deserve a medal for delivering my post today. I got 6 cards and not one of them had the right address on. A few had everything spelt wrong, a couple had Sunderland on instead of Washington, and one was unbelievable ............the only thing it had right was our name and the number of our door. God knows how they knew where to deliver it.
