Thank you :)

Leaving early would be good Aubergine!

Glad you're enjoying yourself eska!

[wildly insane]

I'm working from home with the fire burning :)

Storm Emma has just hit Devon, it really is bitter here.

[Cacoethes]

Someone has stolen my bin.
Why would someone take the only bin without a lid on?!

[wildly insane]

Haha, are you sure it hasn't just blown down the street?

Cpt_S - I heard there was snow on the hoe for the first time in years.

It's even snowing in Bristol!

[Sketchy]

Oh no Beckie. I hope you get it back.

I’m still snowed in. Having a cosy day inside. I badly need to go to the shop tomorrow though.

[Cacoethes]

Its not blown down the street.
Not sure where else it could be!

Cosy day sounds good Lorraine!

[wildly insane]

the cats are hilarious, they ask to be let out, I open the door, they look out, tell me that there's no way they're going out in that, so I shut the door and then they ask to go out again as if the weather will be better next time I open the door. They also look at me as if to tell me that it's my fault the weather is bad and to make it nice so they can go outside.

The snow is still bad here though I suspect not as bad as you are Lorraine. Despite the snow the workmen are still above me though today they have been very quiet.

I was supposed to go to coffee with my friend however I cancelled because of the snow. The snow is bad and although the bus is running through my village it might have stopped running if it got any worse. My friend lives in town so the snow isn't as bad as here plus she can walk whereas for me it isn't an option.

[Cacoethes]

Haha wildly insane! Typical cats!!

Probably best to be safe Dawn

[Sketchy]

Aww cute cats.

That was sensible Dawn. You don’t want to be stranded.

[Cacoethes]

I just read that the UK could run out of gas! 0_o

[Sketchy]

I hope that doesn’t happen! It’s too cold!

[Cacoethes]

Apparently it probably won't affect home use (fingers crossed!) But more likely to affect industrial use.

[Sketchy]

It’s total madness with this weather.

[not_so_insig]

We are supposed to go for a meal tomorrow but it might be cancelled if we cannot get there because of the snow.

I am wondering what to have for tea. It's too late to use the slow cooker and I don't want to use the hob because it got cleaned before and i don't want to dirty it. So any suggestions? All I can think of is either jacket potato or pasta bake. I don't have any ready meals.

[Sketchy]

Ooh pasta bake sounds good!

[zombiehunter]

i'll be having stew with mash tatties and pie paste for dinner tonight

[wildly insane]

What is pie paste Zombie?

[zombiehunter]

I suppose you might call it puff pastry??
