Can someone turn the snow off now please?

We've had it with the snow now, I've never seen anything like it in this country before, maybe as a child up north but we're in the East. This is Izzy posing in the garden, we tried to build a snowman but its so cold that the snow is too dry, was very frustrating.

I looked out of the window at 6am and it was snowing, it hasn't stopped since then. Paul decided that Isobel would be fine to go to school, got about 3 miles away and had to abandon the car (my car) as he got stuck, they had to walk home, luckily a friend passed them half way and picked them up. I have spent the morning internet shopping for a 4 wheel drive vehicle, considering a Nissan Juke, doesn't someone in blogland have one? Would love to know what you think of it.

With regard to my band, I really need to learn that there are lots of things I can't eat, especially not banana cake which I made yesterday, why did I try to eat it at least 3 times which led to a being stuck and pb'ing. Why have I had some more today with the same result? Why don't I learn? I'm really tight and sore now, can't even face my soup for lunch, have had some houmous, was very nice too.
Scale was good, back down to 14st 13lbs, (209 lbs) would still love to see onederland for Christmas, better leave the cake alone then.

  2. I wouldn't mind a little snow right now... alas...no such luck. Just try to think of it as a "winter onederland" (couldn't help the pun) type thing. You'll be in Onederland before you know it!

  3. Oh boy.. I am getting a sense that you are going to have the winter we did last year (get prepared with extra snow gloves!!).. funny thing weather is.. so maybe it would be good to dig out those receipies for home made soups (they go down a bit easier than bananna cake.. but to be honest I am still scooping the filling from our left over pumpkin pies and taking a spoonful here and there.. the crust is a no no for me).. stay warm..

  7. I don't know why I do that to myself either, but when I want to eat something, I just want it. I'm a slow learner. Hope the snow lets up a little, sure is beautiful though.

  8. But it's so pretty. Hope you got the car out of the snowbank. I'm getting my snow tires on tomorrow. Can't live without them. I drive a Mitsubishi Outlander and love it. Can switch to 4 wheel drive anytime. But really, it's snow tires which actually get you through the snow. That and plows that clear the streets. We have lots out and can get almost anywhere in any storm within hours.
