I'm told the gritter has been down our main road three times today, so why didn't the grit make any difference? It's still like a skating rink out there

[ancee]

I feel your pain Flo it's like black glass here and has been since the stupid stuff fell out of the sky. Really sick of the ice now and as we live off a main route we'll have to wait until it gets warmer (when????!!!!) before it goes as they wont grit here. Watching the bin wagons today skiing down the street was terrifying!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^Grit won't make much difference when it's this cold. Supposed to be warmer tomorrow and a positively balmy 10' on New Years day,

I saved a load of similar jars for storing herbs and spices in and had two racks to put them in. My daughter, when we were putting some stuff into storage, decided to chuck them all out. I buy my h&s's in large packs so I've been closing them with those clips for closing freezer bags. I found some jars of just about the right size earlier on this week and bought a load. When it came to me sitting down and transferring the h&s's into them I realised I needed labels or I wouldn't be able to tell what was in them.

Trouble is these jars need round labels. Check online, oh good Staples have just the thing. Off I trot (drive 15 miles) to the nearest branch. No round labels. That branch has never stocked them. Lady at customer service said I should have clicked and collected. Um, maybe it's me but if they don't stock them I presume I would have had to wait until they had some transferred from another branch. So I might as well have ordered them on an online shop which is what I've now done.

They won't be delivered for about a week so the little job I was going to do before everything gets busy again will just have to wait.

I needed ink and dog food so the journey wasn't a complete waste.

My annoying ability to always have friends in my life who deliberately mispronounce things. (I suspect they do this on purpose, and that there is a higher being just having a laugh. If I ever meet this 'being' they'll get a SLAP!)

The eighth letter of the English alphabet is pronounced Aitch, not Haitch.
The small Ford 'Ka' is pronounced Ka/Car, not KayAy. It is a play on words, like Kuga.
Electronics manufacturer N0k!a is not pronounce No-keeya.

Also, whilst I'm here (again), you don't send an invite, you send an Invitation.

Thank you.
