Was a battle getting out of Burnley this morning. Thought about binning it and going home, but once I hit Tod it were fine. Halifax alright too. 40min journey took me 90 though. Heading home soon before the temp starts dropping again.

My friend took 2.5 hours this morning to get from mine to his to take reception of his kids... normally takes a tad under an hour :eek:
I am definitely leaving the car at work...
Al you are 19. If you've not been sledging in 10 years what did you do with your childhood.:confused::DQuote:

I am organising a couple of sledges to carry all the shopping up and as the cat isn't interested in pulling them looks like that is my job for the day :D
Was it the 'big' Christmas shop too Alf?? :eek:Quote:
