I'm at work, the downfall of working for yourself.  Although on the upside we closed on Monday, and closed half days Tuesday and yesterday.  Yesterday we went sledging down Cow Hill in the town, absolutely brilliant fun, it's made me want to buy a snowboard, but they need to get a ski lift put on there it was flippin hard work walking back up in a blizzard.

I would panic buy wine for tonight but I'm going swimming at 8.30

dear god woman are you a seal
swimming , in this

I tend to be anxious about having enough stuff in the house, even for an ordinary bank holiday, so I stock up as if for a siege.
But the extent of this snow has caught me by surprise.
So while staring at my bottles and worrying about if I have enough - I forgot the milk!

there was no milk or bread in my local shop, it seems you had to be up at 6am to get the best panic buys in

what I want to know is why does everyone panic buy milk and bread? Not what I would consider essentials

Its totally crazy isnt it and tomorrow it will probably all be thawed (here anyway) and they will have cupboards of bread that will go mouldy. I panic bought some chocolate, beans and eggs as well.... I went mad under all the pressure

Hubby and I went to do some Christmas shopping, followed by the weekly grocery shopping. Just the normal shopping, not panic buying.
I did notice there was hardly any bread left on the shelves - I don't know if that meant people had been panic buying, or if the delivery driver hadn't managed to get to the store.

i was thinking last night that half of it will probably end up chucked away

That said, I'm off to Asda on my way home to panic buy some wellies cos I have no sensible shoes

Good luck with that, everywhere was sold out when I went out trying to buy some on Monday, ended up ordering a pair of moonboots off ebay. Finally after 30 years of wanting some I am getting some moonboots 

gah!

I might panic buy some bread and milk while i'm there

I panic bought shortbread the other day, 3 boxes 

im hovering over the panic buy button on the jane norman sale section as we speak 

What snow day? 

have you no snow

I would freeze it

I can walk to work unfortunately but luckily I don't work thursday's and Fridays as today is by far the worse!

was in asda last night.. half the shelves were empty...

Gyps
have you no snow




Have I no snow?  Have I no feckin snow?   I have more snow than lapland... but I'm dedicated innit    ...... and have a boss who's willing to spring for taxis for me     



I don't however have any quoting ability... but hey ho...

I tried on a nice coat in there yesterday, not in the sale yet though, boo!

I thought everyone was indoors and not at shops panic buying.

The shops were deserted this morning and yesterday.

poor kaffybaffy

my poor little tesco looks like it has been looted maybe we are just extra snow alert down here because we never get it.

Nah - it's the same here... they were trying to buy six loaves at a time in Sainsbury's yesterday - but they were being rationed to two.    It's mental.

I took some pics of the dog in the garden - not that he wanted me to.  I got a nice one of him running off and showing me his bum 

aww i took some of my wabbits, they seemed to like it, they were very curious about it. One liked jumping in it and trying to dig, the other sat there and licked it

aw so cute Gyps    have added my furbaby's pics 










Adorable rabbits.
...and I love your dog pengy. My buddy used to throw himself onto the snow and do angels. He totally loved the snow.

awww cute. he looked like he was thinking ohhhhh white flufffffffy stuff

what bluddy snow?.

We have over two feet of snow so ,we have been digging each other clear since early yesterday.
We have ten houses in the Grove and the schools are closed ,so the kids have been helping,and loving it.
Each side of the road running down the Grove looks like a Taboggan run today.

I managed to get into the office for a meeting first thing this morning, and have been working at home this afternoon.  As I work from home most of the time, the snow doesn't make much difference to me 

Building an igloo.

my lovely relaxing snow day has ended in a warm bath and snugly jammies in bed with the lap top and a nice bottle of (finally started) red wine! ....I did well, i nearly drank it at lunchtime

I went to work....

My daughter tried to buy me one loaf of bread from Sainsbury;s today but they had none cos all the stupid greedy gits have caused a shortage with their panic buying!

i only wanted one loaf which is what i buy everyday!

I'm just about to do this 
Good ending to a trying day.

what bluddy snow?.

I thought you didn't want any

I'm just about to do this 
Good ending to a trying day.
