Today it was minus 6 at 06:30.

I went out this morning and started the car and cleared the windscreen with luke warm water. Came back out and it had frozen over again.

I had no gloves and knowing the steering wheel would be cold I looked around for a substitute. There were socks hanging on the rail over the cooker. Perfect. Sock mittens were born.

Need to buy de-froster tonight. Clocks go back next weekend. Depression as will be traveling to and from work in the dark.

Bar last year we imo have had a long run of mild winters and are due some cold ones. Maybe it is "nostalgia" but winters seemed to be colder when I was younger.

You just had a skirt on so was bound to be colder ;D ;D
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Probably because you were outside more when younger now your sitting up in a central heated office. You were cold when young out standing for the bus in the mornings. Similar to people who say 'you don't see frog spawn anymore I used to see it all the time when I was young' you just aren't jumping about rivers anymore.

Anyone living in the more rural parts of Cavan have been told to stock up on food,water and fuel as this winter is expected to be worse than last years  :-[

ASDA have great deals on drink at the minute. Best stock up just in case your trapped indoors with the woman.

Is it also because FF are going to ride all over everyone in the budget so you better get it now while you have money in your pockets!!!
