Ohhhhh Shirl, brace yourself and batten down the hatches. You could be building a snowman tomorrow!!

I love semolina.....especially made with evaporated milk. A nice cold weather pudding. I like it set as a cold pudding with sliced pears in it too.OH would join you with the bread and butter pudding Frank, but right now I could eat a nice treacle sponge with custard.

Edwardian Farm tonight. We watched the Turn Back Time programme last night....the 60s this week. I said to OH that the supermarket wire baskets hadn't changed since then. I remember mum having a bit of a beehive hairdo, but I was into long wavy hair with a bit of backcombing at the back of the top. A parting down the middle and sellotape to hold the 2 sides close to my face while it dried. I can just smell that nice creamy Lin-co-lin beer shampoo.

NO FRANK WILL WAIT UNTILL WEEKEND MAYBE HAVE SOME TIME TO MYSELF AND MAKE --BBP--WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW I DO XXX


UP-DATE SNOW HAS TURND TO RAIN AGAIN----
TIME 3.14 PM

Mandy ,Hannah said it was BEDLAM at St Pancras.Bit like a Rock Concert with everyone trying to get on the platform to get whatever train heading the right way lol.She got the Right one.!!!!!.People were asking does this train stop at such and such a place??.All she knew was it was going to KETTERING lol.

Thank goodness she got home ok Jane ,has she got some where she can stay if the trains don't run ?i should imagine the hotels are all full.
I think we have been really lucky this way when you see all the problems on the news .

Yes, she has her friend Polly who she could stay with .She has certainly had 'FUN ' the first 3 days of commuting lol.,and if really desperate she has her cousin Matthew at Uni somewhere in that area.
Watching the Jungle.I can see Stacey winning this ,even though I like Jenny.

Watching the jungle too, i think maybe Stacey will win ,she's game for any thing lol
Aggro's gone !! think the young girl will be next .

Still no Maureen ?? i do hope she's ok

Ann we watched the Edwardian Farm tonight,I am really enjoying this series maybe because I have visited Morwellham Farm, and can remember my day there.
well its still very cold but we have had no snow for the last couple of hours, need to get OH to take me to the supermarket tomorrow we will shortly be needing some Milk and a few other things that are running low.

I am kipping down in the back bedroom to night as I do not want to over expose my self to OH cold, he probably will be snoreing all night due to a stuffed up nose

Morning Mandy and All,

A little snow falling this morning and I am supposed to be going out today. It was'nt so cold last night, well it did'nt feel it in here.

Sheila not nice when you bang your head so do be carefull. Hope it is not so sore today. Thanks for the pictures too. Love the cat.

Shirl sorry I did not send you the pics but they take soooooo long to load as they are BIG. Will see what I can do today.

morning everyone.
Take care from me to Frank & Ros. get back alright
we keep getting little showers of snow, weather man says the wind is turning tomorrow coming from the west instead of the north hopefully will bring rain instead of snow, SIL still can't get to work, they live higher up than us, and have a big bank to get up out of the housing estate and people who have tried to get out are becoming stuck, wheels slipping all over the place.

keep warm everyone
BBl

Morning All,

Hope all goes well with the journey and appt today Frank. Poor Ros, it can't be much fun driving when she is in pain a lot either. Let's hope they can do something to help her.

That must make the programme even more interesting Fiona.....when you have actually been there. It has made me think I would like to go there to!! lol I am hoping to watch the programme about the georgians that is on tonight, about 9.00pm I think....the first week of a new series.

Will say cheerio now, off to see my friend in the 'wilds'. She says she will come and tow me if I get stuck!!!! BBL

Let's hope Ann doesn't get herself stuck and has a lovely day.
The snow stopped but it was heavy for a while.The sun has been shining but is now looking more cloudy again,and it seems like the wind may be picking up a bit.
I was watching a little girl being pulled along on her sledge earlier.It made me think I only ever seem to see plastic ones these days.I wonder if Dads still make wooden ones for their children anymore.

13.17pm.

I still have my sons sledge up in OH's workshop. Might have to get it out if this carries on.

We have had a little snow but nothing to speak off and the road is still clear.

We are going to Holsworthy this afternoon to get chicken food etc.

Hope Frank and Ros are ok and can get there and back again.

Thinking of our Ann too. Can we see the new pics of the foal please?

Hi can not read previous threads can not find the pages ;
I hope everyone is coping in this awful weather.
It was nice this morning braved the park and walked the dogs.

We salted our shop front now its snowing thick flakes again but the trouble was a leaking pip and dripping water and it turning to ice where I fell over and cut my scalp open but its fine now will have a scar I think but it does not hurt. There is a post where people tie the dogs and I fell on it. The doctor called and did the same fell over he came in the shop dressed as Father Christmas and helped us put salt down my ho was up the ladder stopping the pipe leaking all over the front. The doctor was going to a childrens party at the hospital. The doctor said you should be resting to me having had flu and a blow to the head but I feel fine.

I think if anyone is getting a lot of calls phone the operator and have them blocked thats what we do. We phoned the police several times perhaps police are different dealing with smaller areas. But our police station said they were to busy to deal with it..

Why is it the road people start digging up roads in winter it was terrible trying to get to the warehouse today the roads were blocked for road repairs and not just because of the weather.

My son went to the football last night Aston Villa Bham and got caught up in riots at the end of the match he had a seat thrown at him trying to protect a lady and a little boy he said it was awful.


I did see Mel you said a man lived near Birmingham airport and there was a plane crash there a plane delivering a liver it crashed and my niece was not able to go on holiday. It was sometime ago but she told me today.

I hope the snow stops soon April s got to get down from Wales to come to the ballet Cinderella at the Hippo in Bham with my daughter and me and little Maddie next door we are going to a matinee in the afternoon after having lunch which we booked at the theatre but thats next Thursday keeping my fingers crossed.

Driving is awful I had a chinese meal yesterday with Beryl and I had to leave my car a long way from her house and ring her to meet me.Beryl came out looking like a bear in a big fur coat and hat and a stole round here shoulders and those boots that make you look like a sheep. All Beryl could say was get yourself a decent car. charming as ever. I refused to drive back and she had to take a taxi because she was so rude.

Next doors cat was climbing up the window trying to get in it was so froze
so I rescued him and took him in for some milk but the poor thing was so scared of the rascal Jasper he ran out the back door I shouted you ungrateful cat my neighbour who owns the cat and whoes fence is still on our lawn said who are you calling a ungrateful cat. I said not you but could not tell her it was her cat could I .My son in law was amused.

My son in law thinks Hannah Jane is very beautiful I showed him your pictures much to my daughters disgust she said hey watch it you. I thought it funny. My son in law is cute he brought me some flowers this morning after working at a freezing cold garage all night.
