This is Big Brother. You have been evicted. Please leave the house.

It hasn't snowed for over 36 hours (and counting), the Other Half was able to use the car to get to work today, the sun is shining and a hint of normality is spreading across our little bit of the world.

With a little luck the Little One and I may be able to venture outside tomorrow, a thought which has given me a much needed spring in my step this morning!

Our little nest has had a much needed clean and tidy by moi, Christmas presents for afar have been packaged up and are now ready for posting, the Little Ones clothes have had a through weeding out of those that are now getting on the small side, hey I've even cleaned out my inbox.

The misery continues

Yesterday we were bombarded with more snow and treated to the most extreme conditions yet.  It seemed the entire country's transport network ground to a halt.  Drivers trapped in their cars all day and overnight on the M8 and other major routes, road closures, people stranded overnight at their work, schools made into make shift dormitories... even our local bus network was suspended for a few hours yesterday afternoon which caused major uproar especially as we live in one of Scotland's main cities. I've used a  photo from the BBC news website showing just some of the chaos on the roads.

Snow update

It's still snowing. 

I still have cabin fever.

Snowanigans

It's official.  I am soooo over the snow. It was pretty to look at but now go away please.  I'm getting cabin fever and there aren't any signs that the Little One or I will be getting out any time soon.

The Other Half on the other hand is getting driving withdrawls - no car since Sunday does not make for a happy chappy.

To amuse myself the Christmas tree is up (really must get a green one for next year), all presents are wrapped and all cards are written.  Hurrah!



The only Oliver car not snowed in at the moment



And the weatherman was correct

Well this is the first time I can honestly say we're snowed in!
