    Brr! Angel, that sounds cold! Hope you manage to keep warm. It's at times like that when I'm glad I've got a wood/coal fire that does not rely on electronics!

    Morning
    Even though we had over 4 inches of snow yesturday on top of Saturdays snow, all our schools are open, much to my own DC's disgust.
    So it's a normal day for me

    Have a great day everyone

    Both my schools have shut - I cannot remember the last time that happened its unheard off. Must be bad out there. Dh rang to say I mustnt go out as the conditions were bad on the roads. It took him 30 mins to do a 5 min journey this morning. He was concerned he wouldnt be around if it got worse.

    So an unexpected snow day with no mindees may take them sledging in a bit

    Moring Angel. Against all odds everybody here has managed to get trains to work so it's just me and the mindees. 2 schools shut here so got 3 mindees home but at least it means no school runs. It snowed here all day yesterday and stopped about half 10 last night. I intend to go with the flow today, so we might be out playing later then watch dvd or do some craft bits that I've got prepared. I intend to enjoy my mindees today!

    Morning,


    We have no snow on ground yet but it is snowing heavy now so that might change.

    No mindees for me today so I'm not moving from couch all day!

    we have about 3inches but the schools are open and both my littlys made it in although one mum did look rather traumatised by the time she got here ! meither of my mindees seem to want to play today so we have been out making snowmen, sledging and just had snack next I think we will make toilet roll snowmen with cottone wool then prehaps after lunch some snowman biscuits if I can find the cutter, not looking forward to the school run as I knwo they will want to play and skid but I just want to get them back safe and dry cause they never bring any spare clothes!

    Lots of snow here just up the road from Ironbridge, and our school is OPEN!!! (ahem)
    DS (8) not very impressed. DD is determined that school will be shut tomorrow bcos it's her birthday!
    Was due to have 2 mindees today (was not taking pushchair out; carrying baby instead) but was just leaving to go on school run when another one turned up unannounced. Couldn't turn away but was rather sharp towards mum, she had missed today off her list of dates!!!!!!
    So there I was pushing my mountain buggy in the snow with all the manoevrebility of a breezeblock in treacle.
    Gave the arms a good old workout though!

    We've had lots more snow overnight and it's been snowing all day BUT school is open! However I've not taken mine is as the roads are too dangerous. And not got mindee because they can't get out of their village so quiet day for us
