Hope you enjoyed the panto, a different production to the earlier one?

OH is the one to get involved when BM moves flats. He (OH) is insisting that any new one has got to be on the ground floor or have a lift as he isn't getting any younger :-D

Morning all!! It is four o'clock morning time. I am sitting here eating my porridge out of the saucepan. Have been awake for ages and too scared to go back to bed in case I sleep in.

I need to leave at 5.30. This morning's walk/run starts at 6.30, to escape the heat. It is cold, overcast and windy. Forecast is for rain, rain, rain. Hope it holds off until I am finished. Only 5km this time. I'll do the ten next time.

Our lovely weather has actually fallen in a heap. Low to mid twenties with lots of rain for the next week. Remnants of cyclones from up our norf. Wish they would keep their weather. Your white stuff is making our news. Do you actually go outside and make snow people???!!! Yuck, ugh, it is horrible, wet and cold. Give me sandcastles any day.

What a hive of activity this thread is. Moving, searching, restoring, advising, viewing, participating, exercising. Phew! Need a rest just thinking about it all. Off to shower, if I sit here any longer I will fall asleep and have to do my 5km with little squares imprinted on my forehead where I have rested against the keyboard.

Evening everyone.

Well the snow started here around 2pm and is still going strong! At least the gritters have been busy all afternoon and have even coated the side roads!!

My son has been to bleed the radiators for me as the one in the hall was totally cold and the lounge radiator was tepid at the top. He has done them all, bless him, and they are working great now. I also have a vent in the lounge and it was blowing a north pole wind through it, so a bit of cling film has come in very handy!!

Lucky YG (not!) At least they have a chance to clear the roads before you have to go back to work. Its due to reach us about 10pm and stop about 8am - what fun to wake up to a white world (if it does actually happen)

Snowpeople? You are Soooo P.C. Aunty. Snow men? Yes, it has been known, but only as the resident youngest wants to play in the snow at the tender age of the mid 20's. :-D

If you are fit, it tends to bring out the child in you :-D (I do put my foot down to Snow-Angels, lying down in it and spreading your arms and legs wide)

Good luck with the 'walk'. 5 km should be a doddle, despite the inclement weather.

Whoops, missed you there Aunty!! You weren't anywhere to be seen when I posted!!

Have a good run, walk or crawl!! At least it's not too hot!!

Snowmen!! Lovely!! Well, it used to be when I was a child!! Not so sure now I am in my dotage!!

Still updates to do, but they can catch up day by day cos I am bleary eyed looking at this screen constantly!! It's time to chill and enjoy the result of all my hard work restoring it all!!

Hi LA..contrary to my usual practice I am making no comment on the 7-1 trouncing of Blackburn Rover by Arsenal..nor am i going to mention the wonderful partnership between Theo and RVP that led to three goals............

Nottingham has four inches of snow and its wonderfully hushed....

Happy Birthday Maz - hope you have a good day and Frog can get to see you.

Its very pretty outside, but I'm surprised that the 5 year old next door hasn't been out to play yet. We've probably had about 4" so will have to clear the drive and paths around the house later when OH eventually gets up. A isn't the only one who prefers his bed!

Whoa!! What's with all the noise!!! It is excruciatingly bad!!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAZ!!!!!!

Have a lovely day and enjoy your lunch on Tuesday.

Well the snow has finished. Buses are running, but the local airport is closed at the moment. A colleague is due to fly back from Gran Canaria today, so I hope they get it cleared.

The council were up and down several times yesterday with the gritters so well done to them!

Just had breakfast so I am now going to make myself presentable and go out to clear the car of snow and the path.
