take ur car to the office ! problem solved !!
I know a lad who used to work as a security guard and when he worked nights he used to just take in a body shell to prepare or a car to build.
What a star:D

Our line manager sent an email out yesterday saying if you lived more than 15miles from work you can work from home today..... I live 4 miles away.... so guess where I am :(
Mrs oOple
08-02-2007, 10:28 AM
That's a bit harsh, I reckon they should have said more than a 15 minute drive. It takes longer than that to drive 4 miles around here ;)

Yeah, I remember the last good snowfall we had, when we got told off for parking in that pub car park at midnight :rolleyes:
I don't think we've had chance to go sledging since then. :confused:

I always used to watch the snow (when I was little and it snowed properly) and imagine that one day it would snow so much that all the house was covered, and I could open the door and make a crazy vicky under-snow network of tunnels.
Did I say that out loud?

We had to do this once Mrs O. I live in a v high village and 1 year it was that bad the dads all came out and dug from their own doors to the middle of the road and joined before digging together down to the main road. Had tunnels where it had drifted.
Us kids went sledging. We had an old veedub bonnet upside down to sledge on. Nearly killed ourselves, but happy days!! :D
Is it meant to snow anymore this week?
lol.
My mum did that on a bonnet once.
She went down some steep hill, and nearly got decpitated on a barb wire fence, she had to duck. Still ,it was very funny lol:D
hey dcm if my boss tell's me to stay at home paid then who am i to disagree, your just jealous!
heh, I am at home right now... not jealous, me. But when I worked, it would take a lot to keep most of us away.

Well I had the day off till I start my new job the week after next. My little girls's school closed and although she's 4 1/2, this is the first real large amount of snow we have seen down here since she was born. So, by 9am we were in the garden making her first snowman. Funny thing was she was so excited she didnt feel the cold in her little hands, even though at the same time mine were black with frost bite just about to fall off LOL.

Bah, no snow here.
We had quite a lot yesterday, but it just hung about / melted then froze by last night. Cue Emily driving in major ice for the first time EVER. I tried to do a U-turn in the street... then realised I was going majorly sideways. Scary stuff...
The amazingly intelligent people at school don't bother to grit the actual car park, just the footpaths around it. Now THAT is fun. Not!
Its just absoloutely freezing today.
