Snow Shopping

Here is my guide for shopping in the snow!

1, The best time to go out is at the sign of the first snow flakes.

2. Have a plan.

3. Think of the things you can't live without . . .
- bread
- milk
- vegetables
- fresh meat
- toilet paper
- spirits like whisky, run, volka, gin, booze

4. You should have parked as close to the store as possible.

5. Keep in minds that you may be snowed in for at least one day, so be prepared.

6. Don't worry about sliding all over the road.

7. Be prepared for hargy bargy!

8. Snow brings out the worst in people! Brilliant!

When is far too far?

After all the excitement from yesterday's snowfall, I was astonished to learn that a few of my work colleagues were unable to make it to work. You would think this not surprising bearing in mind how difficult conditions were, but:
I work in Southampton; one manager travelled from Salisbury, Wilts,; one from Chichester, Sussex, and one from Christchurch, Dorset. the distances they travelled were considerable yet one colleague who lives literally a 10 minute walk away rang personnel to say that she couldn't get in because of the snow?????

Keep ice from forming in the snow

How soothing is to watching the snow falling! Especially if you don't have to go out in it!
I use to love snow when I was a kid, now I just like watching it.
A good way to keep ice from forming on your paying slabs and drive is to spinkle table salt. Great for drives as well. And you don't have to use vast amounts of salt to make a difference - table salt is only a fraction (pence) compared to all these other things.
Salt is also good for keeping weeds at bay inbetween paving slabs.
