Might need a ice pick.... or six dozen.... we're chilly... pingu weather!
It's such a novelty here - just LOVE IT. Got really cold tonite and temps still droppping. POMcTags area is going to be at least -13 tonite. OH MY!
Can't check the gas cylinder - its frozen together so am hoping there's plenty gas in there - just keeping the boiler running so we are toasty. Little fella is meant to be seeing his Dad tomorrow but we're not sure he can get here. They've got a big 4WD so should be able to, but.... we'll see
Thanks hun Hugs to you my love. x

Ha - you make me roar with laughter Mis.... you and Alex are hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!
Do go to sleep dear girl...stay warm. Glad you have your milk...truly was distressed for you over the shortage. Sweet dreams.
Going to fume some more. May have to have a beer or two. I got the evil eye on the weather men. Sorry so and so's. I KNOW ...let it go. I will...tomorrow maybe. SORRY so and so's.
HOLY COW...almost forgot about the National Championship. Pulling for Bama. Although I have a Texas T-shirt with the Texas longhorn logo that says "Nice Rack"...heh heh. I don't wear it when I'm out and about.

Bed now... please, dreamcatcher, let me sleep more than a few hours. Last nite was ack.
McT - hope you are sunggled up with FiB- you are very white and blue up there...

Nite, nite girls, I'll scrub the decks on my own, you know when to leave don't you.
F/Q I will definitely want to come and work for you, no wages required, a little bit of TLC will go a long way.

Hi crew,hopping on board for a while.My my,so clean and tidy around here!
FQ,I was head-hunted a few years ago and it's a great to know that your talents have been noticed by others.Fingers crossed for your interview and here's to "girl power".Knock 'em dead mate! Your invite for New Years was much appreciated but realised the Captain needed some "pink and fluffy" time so I made a strategic withdrawal because you two do P&F sooooooooo well! That and I didn't really fancy lying on the kitchen floor comparing tummy sizes
Captain,no salt/grit here either except for the main roads.Minor and side roads are atrocious due to us locals having to walk and compacting the snow into sheet ice.Deadly! I've had to walk to a pick-up point where my firm sent a van to take me to work but have had to make my own way home!!!!! They offered me overtime over the weekend but I turned down their "kind" offer as there's loads more snow forecast.I've got food and drink in the fridge/freezer,a few DVD's in my "to watch" pile,"home delivery" numbers for Indian/Chinese/Pizza so I'm going into hibernation mode until Monday night.
Mismi,I just can't see your attraction to snow.It's cold,wet and just horrid.Even Freddy won't go out on the balcony to "count the pigeons".
Waves to the rest of the crew.Stay safe!
Laters.
Oh Bazza - that made me so laugh - you are right - comparing tummy sizes is one of our favourite pastimes and believe me - it is NOT a pretty sight!! - Pink and Fluffy was about right with the girlie shopping - I bought a 'fu fu' coat - very girlie!
Perhaps we should get together on a beer weekend at the local pub or when we come down to Forest Hill to my sister's - Anyway - sure we can make a plan.
As for the job - yes, it is flattering, but I am still really hoping for an internal promotion in my current company as I don't know that I have the energy to start from scratch again in a new company - I will see what is on offer though as I may be really tempted.
Dutchy - you would get lots of TLC - well, cups of coffee, beers, and laughter if you were to come over here - wouldn't it be fab if we could have a reunion - perhaps we should start saving to all meet up in a couple of years!
Anyway - must go work - big hugs and smiles
FQxx

IZ: Wow, that is some frosting old England has received!
Just a dusting of about an inch here in New York, but elsewhere there is more, much, much more.
I have to get to the Post Office today to send my kiddo stuff he forgot to take to Texas. Felt bad for Texas last night, lost their quarterback early and still made it a game.
Headed over to Jersey, um, that's the USA's New Jersey for you Glanderai, to play Scrabble with my two best friends. I am prepared to smote them soundly.
Joe(SMOTE 7pts)Nation
I was impressed by Texas too. Glad they stayed in it. I hate it when something like that happens. No fun playing a championship game and losing your QB.
My Dad and brother are Alabama fans, so I am glad Bama pulled it out. But I have always liked the Longhorns.
Getting ready for school. I think I like snow best Bazza, because it makes things slow down. I like getting out and walking around in it for a bit too. And of course the kids love it. I seem to catch their excitement when it gets forecasted. I guess what disappoints me most is I always believe the forecasters and it never fails that they miss it - by a long shot - every time. I would rather be over prepared than underprepared...but I am afraid that due to the fact that they over shoot their predictions every time, the tendency will be not to pay attention to them anymore and then actually have a heavy snow and not have what you need. Whatever that may be...
You all stay warm and have a great day! I am off to get ready for work and to take the fellers to school....
later!
mis

tired... tired... tired
want to go to sleep early tonight and get up early and see the cold morning appear - might be a little chilly tho.
The local authority has sent out a directive about emergency school closures and transport next week - don't think we're going back any time soon.
Bazza - you so didn't wanna compare tummies did ya ha! laughing too.
Joe<brrrrrrr can you make soup>Nation - you keep warm out there in NooYawk and watch the ice if you're running. You know I'll worry a? How did the scrabble go - did you smote them? Iz(loves a triple word score)zie x
BEAgle... this should cool you down

<shiver>
POMcT - how's you and FiB? You OK up there?
Little fella made it over to his Dads. His Dad's girlfriend had an accident with a bolting horse from the stable today - ended up with a visit to the hospital and x-rays. She's ripped all the tendons in the side of her hand - very very nasty and painful. Ex-hub was a little worried - S-boy said he would her hug - bless him. We're going to try and get him up to school on Sunday so he can be with his friends and be doing a little education - tho they won't be doing full lessons. Ex has a 4WD but won't attempt it if it's not safe to go. S-boy desperately wants to see his school friends so... we'll see if it's possible tho he may end up there for the whole week. He'll be happy tho - so that's coco.
((((((Missy))))) - how are you feeling today girlie? Looking forward to the weekend?
