Iv'e now got another snow warning and its raining

Morning all,

Got up at 7.23am for the loo and there was snow on the garage roof when I looked outside the bedroom window so I went back to bed for a lie in. Its still all over the cars and a bit on the grass but where the suns reached its melted. Its 3 degrees here and as I just said the suns out at the moment. and pc is saying mostly cloudy.

Anng you be careful walking out today we can't have you slipping over. Did'nt you mean the temp went down to -1 and not up!.

All of youo be careful today if you have to go out and the ground is slippy we don't want any accidents before Christmas. <3

Morning Anng morning all,

We had quite a bit of snow in the evening ,great big flakes which laid ,this morning the paths and roads look clear but the car, roofs and hedges still have snow on them .
There is patches of blue sky but the clouds are quite black and we should have more snow this morning .

Ann , Chelsea is 18 , Katie will be 16 next month ,Lacey is 13 and Lewis is 10 ,I was only saying the other week about the little sundress ,now it's hard to buy clothes for them, I think this year we will hive them some money so they can get what they like .

Anng be careful walking on the paths when you go out .

good morning all. bright and weak sun and frosty roofs. and temp -4 degrees. Luckily it looks as though roads and paths are dry. I am meeting friends in town do hope it is not icy when I go for the bus around 10am.
didn't sleep well last night, started to 'worry' now about my appointment on Sunday.


edit 0845 temp has come up to -1 now. sun is shining

I'm going to try that Annx probably tomorrow now as I have deleted them all today once I could get into my inbox. I sometimes think its those that are making it hard to get into the inbox.

Night night all hope you all sleep well.

Evening All,

Bitterly cold breeze today! Before I forget, you can use your voucher on your next order by entering the code on it where you pay on the site Mel. It might speed your PC up if you empty/delete your deleted and spam emails that are in folders. With the spam ones you get now you can do as Vera suggests or open the email and click on 'forward' (I click on 3 black dots at right near top to find 'forward' ) and send it to [email protected] If you don't report them they keep sending them. That was a nuisance your order got cancelled, but at least it arrived today, even if you did get a surprise and have to throw yourself together!!

I was up early and managed to park in an end space close to the scanner next to Asda. The steps to it weren't steep but the shiny painted handrails were wet and slippy. They took me straight in although I was a bit early so no sitting and waiting and I was out again in less than 20 minutes!. OH had gone to a council business breakfast so I went to a garden centre and had poached eggs! I saw a neighbour and his wife I saw there last time and Barry said he could have given me a lift!

That's good your roof is fixed now AnnG, especially looking at the weather forecast. It's saying it's 1 degree here now with minuses during the night so it should be another frost tomorrow.

I bet your log burner was nice and cosy today Mandy. I think we all need to keep our fingers crossed that Jake will get a cancellation soon and be able to take his test again without having to do the written one again. How old are the other grandchildren now? It doesn't seem that long since you were making pretty sundresses for the girls! :-)

It's good to hear your eye seems to be doing ok Vera, but keep that cold wind out of it. The speaker sounded interesting and your meal yesterday was right up my street! Yummy!

Just went out for a puff and there's snow on my cars. The winds dropped.

It is strange really as I didn’t know there was anything wrong with the roof and of course what has been done is only noticeable if you look for it so it is nothing to get excited about really except to know that I should be water tight now. :-D

That did sound an interesting talk about the 500 year old house. Its nice when they are a good speaker and keep you interested. Bet you'll be glad to get your new glasses now Vera.

Skies come over really black again so we may be in for more hail and the icy wind has'nt dropped either.

I had a male and female pheasent in the chicken pen when I went to corn them a little while ago when it had stopped hailing and the sun came out again.

Its good they finished your roof today Anng now you will feel nice and safe if we do get hail and snow and lashing rain. Still 4 degrees here at the moment and pc is saying mostly sunny which it has been today.

Lots of rain overnight and this morning. It stopped about 11 am but there is an icy wind blowing. All 3 weather apps agree that it is currently 4 degrees but feels like -6 to -8. Brrr. Good job your roof is finished AnnG and Mandy's logs are all stacked.

What a nuisance having to wait an extra day for your order Mel. If you are getting a lot of scam emails or texts are you sending them on to the companies they supposedly come from? Most of the big companies have a way of doing that and they like to know so that they can watch out for new ones doing the rounds and try to counteract them..

We've had a busy couple of days. On Monday I managed to get all the washing done and in the afternoon we had a club meeting. A local man gave us a talk on the history of his house which is over 500 years old. As it included quite a bit about the geography of the town in medieval times and a potted history of all the people who had lived in his house, it was very interesting and he was a good speaker.

After doing some jobs yesterday morning we had lunch in town at my favourite fish place. It's not the cheapest but the fish is beautifully cooked and you get a generous helping. I had grilled salmon and OH had grilled cod, both with baby potatoes and mixed pan fried veg. It was delicious. Then it was up to Iceland to stock up on some bits and pieces on the over 60s day for 10% off.

Today I got the ironing done and several little jobs of sorting and tidying while OH hoovered through for me. For the last hour I've been on the computer doing some banking and looking at one or two sites for Christmas presents. While I have been doing that OH has washed the floors in the hall, kitchen and utility, bless him.

I think my eye is doing OK but reading or being on the computer for too long does put a strain on both my eyes. It will be fine when I can eventually have the correct glasses but it's a nuisance at the moment, so I am going to sign out again now. Keep yourselves warm and be careful if you have to go out in this icy weather.

PS It's raining again. Great :-(

still sunny here but only 3 degrees

Had sun all morning now as I type we have hailstones and a very cold wind.

They finished at 11.30, job completed. I was pleased as it was very cold to be up on the roof. Good to have it all done anyway.

Shopping arrived at 9.02am. I was dressed but had to put my teeth in quickly and put my hair up in its clip but it looked awful.

I can get into this site and ebay but I am having trouble getting into my emails. Its been happening for a few weeks now and it does go in eventually but its so annoying I keep getting lots of scam emails mostly from Mcaffi.

Morning all,

Nasty old morning here ,very dark and raining ,we want to go shopping later so I hope it dries up a bit .
I woke about 5-15 to Anng I felt wide awake so I just laid looking at my tablet for a while .

Mel that was a strange mixture of dreams ,hope your shopping arrives today.

Oh brightened up a bit better have my cup of tea and get on .

Morning Anng and all,

Bit windy here this morning and the temp is 4 degrees and I have a snow warning and 3 rainy days ahead starting Saturday!!!

Its certainly not warm in here this morning so I think I will turn the heating on. Slept quite well but when I went back to bed after a trip to the loo it took a while to drop off again and then I dreamt some strange dreams about losing my hone out of a hard plastic case and being in Bideford market and getting two cockerel shaped bottles and then something about a delivery of gravel to the garden.

It was not just GR down Mel it was something to do with their and others' servers, but it was soon back up. I suppose they are at least giving you a voucher. If it is like Tesco you will probably need to go into your account to claim back the £5 off your next shop. Hope you were up in time.

Good morning all, very dark here and 2 degrees (it was 3 just now, and raining which is not good news for the roof and rain was not forecast. Slept from 11 until 1am then until 5.15 but couldn't then get back to sleep. so got up at 7am.

They said something about if a driver was ill or they could'nt get here for floods and something else. I had to book a slot for tomorrow and the only one I could get was early in themorning so I hope I don't oversleep.The man I spoke ot on the phone said I would get a £5 voucher or that amount off my shopping. Don't know how to do vouchers on Asda online.

When it happened I could'nt get on here to post as they had the site down for maintainance. It has thrown my whole day out.

Oh no ,why have they done that Mel

Hasn’t that happened before Mel.
