New year, new start Scarlett

Goodnight

Thats the last time I ever go out at midnight... was supposed to pick my brother up from work tonight (finishes at 1am) and I can hardly drive in this snow at the moment and I can't see anyone else even trying now. So I said to my brother "Right, you will have to get a taxi... il walk down to the cash machine to get a tenner out so you can pay him when you get here"

So I walked down to the shop where the cash machine is and spotted just as I was approaching people hidden behind the hedge and wall, looked round me and could see people watching me and waiting until I got to the machine.

Absolutely crapped myself and decided to turn round straight away Could tell they were not ordinary teenagers either. Even if I grab my other brother to come down with me theres still more of them, there were certainly 3-4.

Now I have to find another way of helping my brother get home, I suppose if its drastic then he will have to stay at work for the night and come home in the morning. Taxis have also said they aint running at the moment either and that they may run in an hour or two.

Can you get the taxi to pick you up and then go to the cash machine (armed) ?

The cash machine is about 50 yards away and even that will cost me a fortune

I mean when the taxi comes back with your bro, pick you up then cash machine - maybe another if they're still loitering.

That would cost a fortune... we are skint as it is, prob got around £10. I recon for the taxi driver to drive up to the work, drive back to ours, pick me up and take me down to the cash machine awill cost a fortune.

Edit: Think the problems solved now, he said he can stay at a friends which is close to work now. Glad thats over with

He's snookered then.........behind the black   

Glad it's sorted 

Snowed around 6pm to 6:40pm here but since it's been quiet - not too much on the ground where I am.

Loads of snow here - I am right fed up with it

None here yet! Expecting some later but as a bonus we managed to get out on the bikes! A boring afternoon without horse racing and not much football awaits.

Snowing hard here in Kent for the last couple of hours Hoping my hubby gets home alright from work!

Whiteout here! (Essex/London border)

Eldest daughter is driving back from Hull, so I'm a bit worried.

loads of snow here in the West Mids    I lubs it 

I hate it Candi - I have so much to do in my old house which is 15 miles away cross country - which ever way you go you encounter hills.It has to be completely cleared by 4th Jan which is the date of completion. One daughter is ill stuck at uni and I am stuck here snowed in

  Issy I'm sure it will all work out and I hope your daughter feels better soon 

Blizzie - it's fine up Hull way, so I guess it will be nearer your end that it will be worst - hope she gets home ok.
I send OH to fetch our son from uni this morning - although there was snow everywhere at the sides of the road, the main roads were all clear.
Let us know what happens

I've just watched a police van trying to get off our road and he nearly hit my car  He got a shovel out the back of the van and dug himself out, good job he missed my car or the shovel would have been up his jacksy, cos there's no way I would have won him in court 


oops West Cumbria and snow covered

the cheek of him 

pmsl...it was funny though Pengy  I had my mobile ready for the piccy if he'd hit me, don't know what I'm laughing about, I've to get off this road on Monday  

Looks like it's on the cards for tomorrow.

You are in Edinburgh too , Velvet, i hope we dont get it bad

All fine, thanks Moomin. 

As you said, she only had a bit of trouble down our way, but nothing major.

Great news - we never stop worrying though, do we?

We got a load here yesterday (London), a good 5 - 6 inches and it's settled. I was out playing in it yesterday in the garden but today it's like an ice rink so I'm banned. The dog's been doing Torville and Dean impressions all afternoon

My cat refused to go out in it at all yesterday - he went 18 hours without a pee
In the end I had to don boots over my PJs and go out with him - the great wuss.

4 ins of snow now on my unfinished kitchen roof. Only a blue plastic cover between me and the elements. Still the tiles to put on but the builder cant work in these conditions. Am worried the whole lot will come crashing in on my head when cooking. Should have waited till the spring but i am only the husband here- the missus organised it. Need i say more?
