Waher , buhher ...
Always wondered why I couldn't pronounce my own name properly , now I know
I hate pronouncing my name mam cause if I pronounce it correctly I sound very posh but if I don't I'm pronouncing it wrong! And I have to introduce myself in work like 20 times a day
I feel your pain! 0 -

All the lovely snow is melting away I tried to get the kids to make a snowman the other day but the little feckers said it was too cold to stay out. They threw a few snowballs then went back inside. I don’t know what I did to fail this badly as a parent?

Just in from round 2. I don't think I'll ever be warm again. I've had a couple of tractors do drivebys. One was gritting, another ploughing, another was rescuing the neighbours and one was just out to show off they had mobility. I actually had to use the shovel to scoop off all the snow on the cars because it was too compacted for the brush. Now I've just been informed the water is going off at 5 so I can't take a shower to warm up :mad:
Geez Wyrn , ye got hit really bad , didn't ye
Sometimes we get caught up in our own little bubbles that we forget others got affected a hundred times worse . hope you can warm up soon one way or another x.0 -

Aye, very bad around here. My grandmother was trapped in her house but luckily the neighbours have been calling in to make sure she's ok and to bring in fuel. My mother had to walk a couple of miles to go into work and then walk home again. She was off but she works in the hospital and they were desperate for staff. That said though, all my neighbours were out shovelling, so it was a great community spirit helping each other out and rolling our eyes at the people who tried to drive up the hill near us (and fail).Geez Wyrn , ye got hit really bad , didn't ye

Fair fecks and thanks to your Mam , and everyone else in the emergency services for battling their way to work this week .
Community spirit and great neighbours are a blessing , sounds like where I lived years ago , rural enough area .
I went out here today to try clear some of the road and pathways , one other neighbour out doing the same . Another one stood on her doorstep watching us , said it was too slippy to go out....wtf !!
Estate is lethal at the minute , and she'll be the first one to complain if one of her kids fall.

What part of the country are you in wryn?
Loads of people were out earlier clearing their cars and driveways. We borrowed a shovel off next door to do ours (didn't do a great job though
) Mack only got home from work at 8am and had to abandon his car on the road cos couldn't get it into the driveway or even onto the path. A tow truck was doing the rounds earlier and helped him move but he had to park on the next road. Probably a good thing though cos we were able to go out just now to get Eddie Rockets and a few bits of groceries, and he parked it around the corner this time. Our road seems to have the deepest snow of most around our area, and a lot of the other small roads have been cleared. Once we were out on the main roads though we were grand.
I was so happy to get out of the house. He just wanted takeaway but I neeeeeded to be out for a while! Has lifted my mood so much, even though it was only for about 90 mins 0 -
