I believe you were present when I said to Kev D "I`m holding you responsible if it settles."

Time to renew that seaweed down at the waterboard Kev.

There was a UG one outside my building yesterday just as it started snowing.

I looked at the driver and you could see the panic if he didn't get home in time

No snow between bedroom and office
The central heating makes sure of that.

Good job you didn't make it in then - you'd have been twice as annoyed!!

Didn't bother going in - after all the boss kept me out late last night, and as school has closed I had to stay at home!

Saying that, the last we saw of Coz she was all togged up and set off for her friends house (and the Rec to build an igloo???) at 9.30am........

She is certainly going to have a healthy glow when she gets in!!

I had the day off anyway, ended up doing my x-mas shopping.

Roads were pretty quiet, and the car parks (where you normally have to wait 10-15 mins for a space) were empty.

Best x-mas shopping day ever!!!

Wet to work early in case of heavy traffic on the A13, left mine at 7:10 and was in lakeside at 7:25!

Hardly any traffic around so had a little fun, considering the STI has a high ratio gearbox - it was quite sedate when I wanted it to be! Powerslides are so much easier compared to the UK turbo!
