YIPPEE!!!

YEEESSSS!!

I am now on holiday... two whole weeks. All of the kids are gone until January 6th and I am really so very happy. I'm not bothered about presents, or good tv or anything like that... I have what I wanted for xmas - good food and time off from the kids LOL!!


We had snow last night and this morning in the early hours. About two inches, which was considerably less than predicted, about which I am incredibly glad. I used to love snow when I was young, but ever since I've been driving I've come to look on snow with dread. The thought of skidding my car and being stuck in the snow is not something that appeals to me in the slightest. When we had all that snow at the beginning of the year, I had to wear shoes to take the kids to school and they caused me terrible blisters (the shoes had special soles that had mini crampons on the bottom for walking on compacted snow and ice)... so I was dreading having to wear them again if the conditions underfoot proved to be incredibly treacherous (those shoes and my feet just do not get on in any way, LOL!! Sadly they are the best shoes I have for slippery conditions and I have to be careful as if I fall or something then we could be in a tight spot as there will be no-one here to drive the car and do the other school run, hence my being glad about the snow being bearable and the risks to life and limb being very slight).
