Great Britain is encountering the worst snowfall in almost 2 decades. Seriously, it's the first for me in all my years (7) living here. This whole week, the girls had only gone to school once. On the days I work (yes my boss very on, kept the school opened when most are closed), I'd to bring them with me which is not all that bad because they get to play with other children and there were lots of nice activities to do (if I don't take into consideration that Lavigne played up with me around, clinging on to me and at times refused to follow the instructions given by my colleagues - very embarrassing!).
I dared not drive. I think the main roads are OK but it's my street. My boss said it's deathly. She witnessed a van skidding (so did one of my colleague's husband). I'm just so terrified something similar will happen to me. A few of my friends got involved in traffic accidents because of the treacherous condition. I'm taking no chance, especially since I have the girls with me. The girls are meant to be going to a friend's birthday party later in the day but I'd rung the mum to say we're not going. The get-together at my place with my colleagues tonight has been postponed as well. My course tomorrow has also been cancelled. There's going to be more snow apparently. I'm not entirely sure if I like that even though I do enjoy the snow but I think the novelty has worn off. It's bitterly cold, the pavements are icy and slippery and we're stuck at home. What a vast difference from last winter. I just want to snuggle under my duvet all day long which is of course not possible. How's your week been, V?

I know what you mean about driving, the ice is so treacherous! Our life went back to normal on Wednesday. I want the snow though, because I bought Luke a sledge! Is there enough snow over the weekend in your area to go sledging?
Oh yes plenty around the area. We don't have a sledge and last night, I was telling A we should improvise and use the lid of the recycling bin. The girls received a kid's lion dance head too. Wanna come over?
remember to keep yourself warm! what I used to do is use the food trays from my sch's cafeteria. We call that traying.. :P You need a smooth surface at the bottom for it to work properly, and keep your feet off the snow!
