brrrr!!

Oh no, I just realized my blunder, do you think I meant 40 degrees below zero? No, I meant 40 degrees, which is above freezing in Fahrenheit. The coldest winter i remember was back in 2005 and it was in the single digits for a while, I think lowest was 1 or 2 degrees. My house isn't well insulated...(it's a long story, so unless you want to hear it all, I'll give you the short version) When we had construction done on the house years ago, the construction worker unplugged all the base board heaters in order to work on the house, This was in the spring/summer, but when he left, he didn't plug them back in and though my husband took the time to plug in the main bedroom, he didn't for anywhere else. So we have a variety of stupid electric or kerosene heaters, and only use the kerosene when it is really cold, The electric ones hardly work. I mean it does kept the inside above 60, that is good, but we get no where near 68-70 that I feel is comfortable inside during the winter months.

lol no no i didn't think you meant below freezing.. but it did just sound cold.. but now i realise we are even colder lol! the temperature over the last three days here has ranged between 3degrees C, to -3 degrees C lol!! .. tell your husband to sort that out!! lol!

oh my carmel, that is cold!! .. how come you don't have a warm house? is it just one of those houses thats very hard to heat? my partner and i's house was like that.. extremely hard to heat. we have draight excluders and everything but nothing ever worked :( ... we actually eventually moved because it was costing us a fortune paying for gas heating that we never got any benefit out of because the house never got warm!

lmao! this really made me laugh! so the sander and gritter cannot come out to make the road safe for other road users, because it isn't safe for the sander or the gritter? haha thats brilliant! i know!! look at all those countries that have snow, and ice all year round, and the uk, even though it gets snow atleast once a year, every year now, goes into a state of shock when it snows! you'd think the government, by now would have done something to make the snow situation safer! if colder countries can do it, why can't we?

In Poland while snowing people are working, children going to school and roads are safe to drive. Last year my future mother in law took a flight to London to visit us. The plane landed on Luton. Can you believe that at 8 am airport wasn't prepare for this plane arrival? People spent almost one hour in the plane waiting for people to clean the road.

see!! the UK never ever prepares for snow! but in other countries they just get on with their daily business like nothing is happening! i don't understand that at all! i find it very hard to even purchase snow shoes anywhere!

What's so special about being able to say, "more and more"? How do you like it, how do you like it?

lol!! you are so lucky and i am so jealous!! my partner works with 4 people from the Philippines as you know, and they have been teaching her how to say more and more :) .. and shes really eagar to actually go now lol! and judging by the lovely "winter" you are having.. i could well be convinced to have a christmas break to the islands lol!

Summer has officially started here so no spring at all!
