Is everybody in suspense ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, went out to back yard (flags), saw just a tiny piece of ice (melting) - there I am trying to step over it and away I went back on my back hitting my head.

Couldn't get up - turned on all fours crawled to the big tree I am try to kill and up I got. Now I am taking a couple of paracodals. That's all folks Lol Wouldn't be me. Thank you Tree

Try these ice grippers. They are ceramic and I wouldn't venture out in icy conditions without them. No dreadful studs so can be worn inside. And you need to get a bag of rock salt!
Invest in a pair of these. I wouldn't be without them in icy weather. No studs, so you can even wear them inside.

ilove - looked at link - do you actually get the whole boot - I can't see where the gripper is - sorry for not noticing.

[jennyjoan]

saw like steel like grippers on the front of shoe - is that it.

You know I am very unfortunate with Amazon - everything I buy I have to return - right now I will returning a Shower head - it was hopeless my own much better.

Why are you trying to kill the big tree ??

[Tilly2]

Jenny, they clip over the front and around the back of whatever footwear you have on.

[jennyjoan]

oh right Tilly - I am hoping we wont get this weather in the future

[jennyjoan]

Mind you I did like the boot - thought they were lovely.

[hereIam]

Is my post invisible ????

[jennyjoan]

oh sorry hereIam - the tree has got too big and climbing on the walls of the house which I sure don't want - so the roots are there but no leaves.

because he wants to branch out, hereIam

They have two very strong elastic-type thingys to secure them. They can go over shoes as well as boots (don't know about slippers and I have never tried them with high heeled boots). I like the boots in the ad too.

Its winter the chances are there will be more of this weather - so get prepared now.

JJ, at even the hint of frost scatter salt on your paving slabs, choose proper shoes. Falls are so common at this time of year, be careful .

Went out very carefully this morning to buy my paper and expected it to be quite icy but no everything was normal. Not had any snow yet and the sun is so bright through the day that we don't have the heating on until 4pm. My sympathies to all you with bad roads and pavements. Dare say we'll get some at some time. As Frank used to say in Hill Street Blues "Remember - be careful out there".
