Coz,
Hope all is sorted. Seems the thaw is almost as bad as the freeze itself, although it is so much better now the snow has finally melted.
Enjoy the weekend all and stay warm.
PS. Hope you enjoyed your week off Jess.

Snow here today in the southern US. Just a dusting, but pretty. Hope to see more fall so working from home will be an option tomorrow.

Well after 2 weeks of snow and severe frosty weather, it all clears up only for me to get a cold! I'm supposed to be out for dinner this Friday - typical!

Everyone was looking forward to our girlie pamper weekend but sadly we are snowed in and the roads impassable. I am sooo bored. I had already booked today off work but that means I can't get out to do anything which is sooo annoying. Bah double humbug!  |

Calm down, Gee. It is only snow! Anyhow, could be worse. I didn't even wait for the snow and ice that fell across London and Kent today to go face first into the pavement. Yesterday I tripped over a paving slab dumped on the pavement and now my entire left arm feels like it is so much mush. Painful to pick up things and the lift buttons, but not broken (or otherwise I would not be able to type!). Stay warm everyone! |

Only snow? I spent the guts of half an hour earlier this morning shovelling the damn stuff from the driveway, in order to get out, to get food shopping. I'm still ill, with a temperature and thought I was going to faint, Gillian McKeith style, in the supermarket. Luckily I got home in one piece and will be staying put until Monday. You are the third person I know who has injured themselves - you sure it's not fractured or broken? I detest this weather. It only causes problems for everyone. Thankfully I managed to get out and get what I needed, including more drugs!  |

Gee, I will survive, but you must be careful if you have a temperature as well. Anywho, my car is stranded at the bottom of the hill I live in because I ended up driving to B&Q after the heavy snow fell. It took me half an hour with 1 slippy moment where I nearly slid backwards into someone, but I got there. I then drove very slowly back home, only to get stuck  . And all because the workman wanted more floor tiles to finish off the bathroom refit that has left us with no functioning toilet. The other loo flush is bust so we are resorting to using 2 buckets of water to force flush it! Gee, and indeed everyone. Stay safe, stay in touch (if you can) and hope everyone's families are also staying safe, well and warm!  |

Oh heck Jess, not good!
Well we had more snow last night. My sis got car stuck twice yesterday, I was surprised she went out last night. Both yesterday and today the sun has the cheek to rear it's head....if only there was some heat behind it to melt the snow.
I doubt very much if I will get to work this week - I refuse to dig the snow out again in favour of my health.
I booked travel for 3 guys to Indonesia last week. They were due to fly back yesterday, to catch a flight from LHR this morning. I am not sure they will get back today at all.

Well I made it to work today - took around 45mins compared to 15-20mins. The snow is not melting any time soon!
My guys in Indonesia got delayed in Abu Dhabi, and were told they couldn't get a flight until Thur. However our travel agent has managed to get them on a flight this morning but they will have to drive from LHR to BHX and take a flight from there to NI.
I am finishing at lunchtime today, not risking any more travel to work. It's quiet here today, most people have not made it in, including my boss.
Hope you all manage to have a warm and safe Christmas.
