I'M STUCK IN THE HOUSE

[slinky.kate]

even though the snow is thawing it is very ,very icy and i cant get out,our little car park is empty(no cars can get up the hill).son got to work for the 1st.time this week,he had to walk or slide to the bottom of the hill to get the car,he took a bit of old carpet with him in case he gets stuck.my fridge is getting a bit sparse,no veggies or potatoes but i have some frozen.so for tea tonight i have the last of my vegetable soup,burgers and fried onions(bread limited) then i am going to make some pancakes,will that go with stewed rhubarb and total cream?

Were due for a thaw over the next two days slinky so things should get (slightly) better. Our water supply has just come back on after 2 and a half days - what's that saying about you don't miss something till it's gone?

[slinky.kate]

count according to weather we have to have a thaw for 2 days and then back to snow again,i was supposed to go to blackpool on wednesday,but was snowed in.it was all payed for as well.

can you get your son to pick some shopping up on the way home?

[Count-A-Strong]

How annoying slinky! What a strange country we live in, in lots of ways.

If your car park is empty, could we send a little helicopter with some emergency supplies for slinky ?

[joggerjayne]

(cos it could land in the car park, you see)

[slinky.kate]

oh jayne'what a lovely idea.there is hardly any fruit or veg in the supermarket because the roads are bad.i have been stuck in the house since sunday and getting really fed up now.

Where are you Slinky?

[slinky.kate]

our post and the paper boy cant get here

[joggerjayne]

And we would have to specify a hunky "James Bond" looking pilot, to carry the bags inside for you.

Isn't there some enterprising person with a snowmobile, earning some money by doing deliveries?

[joggerjayne]

Well, I'm off to blatt up to Croydon (I know, I know ... voted Britain's chaviest town) to go to Costco.

(sorry to rub it in, Slinky)

Hmm ... I wonder, is there any snow that might hinder my journey?

**peers out of window**

Oop ... no there isn't.

Think Kate is on the Island of Bute which does make it far more difficult for her -I may have her ixed up with someone else tho..
Well the Council have just spent since 8 this morning clearing the street I live in and the pavements as much as possible (abandoned cars)-lorry after lorry load of the stuff and suddenly I feel so much brighter -sadly its for a funeral tomorrow:(
Its also above freezing -all good :)

[Dris]

oops -sorry Kate -dont know where I got the idea you lived in Rothesay.Hope things improve for you -its looking better fingers crossed:)

[slinky.kate]

[Dris]

Phew -im glad I didnt imagine it Kate -cheers for verifying that !
Fingers crossed looks like theresa wee turn on the way and you'll soon get out.Belive me you really dont want o if you dont have to -ive trudged into work all week but it hasnt half put me in a foul mood as im terrified of the sheet ice -feel better today though :)
It will soon be a distant memory :)

[slinky.kate]

supposed to get bad by the weekend again,and dont you have it pretty bad out your way,this is the first day son could go to work,but the uni.was closed anyway

[tiggerblue10]

I really do feel for you guys north of the border. I would never be able to survive up there, I'm a real wuss when it comes to cold weather and I hate snow especially when it turn dirty and icy.
