We are waiting to see if the girls school is open or

The girls want to walk today, normally ask for a lift when its cold, although we let them walk anyway

They want it to be open because the whole school is having a party and theres loads of food there Party

Thumbs down

I sorted out working from home for today... yesterday. Bl**dy good move.

My wife was out in Arundel last night for a works doo, about 20-25 minute drive away. She left at 23:30 and got home at 01:15.

I had a phone call from her at one point saying she didn't know where she was, see couldn't see a thing and the car had lost grip.

She managed to drive home at 10mph all the way from roughly the West Worthing turn on the A27, up the A24 and then across to Storrington/Thakeham.

Not nice.

Gatwick was closed this morn so im on standby at home!!, but i did get to junction 4 on M25, nearly lost it in front of a lorry in middle lane due to deep sludge and no road markings, decided to call it quits and turned around!

I miss my scooby big time, the focus and the heavy caddy really strugled to get anywhere today, the AWD really makes a difference!!!!!!!!

Took me over an hour to do the usual 20 minute journey.........

But then again the car parks/country lanes were amusing!

Yup, I got to work ok this morning seeing as we had NO SNOW

However, post couldn't get down from Tonbridge so rather than finishing at 14:15 I got to finish at 09:30 instead Better still, it's my long weekend (Sat, Sun and Mon) so I ain't gotta deal with the backlog
