Hey!
The excitement in my class is at fever pitch at the moment what with it being so close to Christmas. I came home as soon as I could and even managed a cup of teapigs mint tea, squeezed in between cleaning the bathroom, kitchen, doing some dusting, washing up and putting a wash on. Phew. But I feel good that a lot of those jobs are out of the way before holiday. (By the way, if you missed it, me and Andy are off to the USA for Christmas- paying a visit to Disney and also a few places in the south- Savannah and Charleson 🙂 ).
Although we are now debating to go to Gatwick on friday night (and try to get a hotel) as snow is due here. We don’t want to get stuck here on saturday morning if the snow is bad here but not at Gatwick. Any thoughts?
Anyway, I went to get my haircut and was planning on wandering around the shops, but we had some snow and the traffic was bad, and so I had ten minutes before my haircut, and then the shops shut at 7. What kind of late night shopping is that? So they were shut when I came out. I did manage a speed shop in Boots for the last few things before I ran to the hairdressers! I am trying to grow my hair a little longer, so I had a trim but had my fringe cut again; I am quite liking having a fringe at the moment- makes me look like I have a hair style instead of just hair!
No running today (and no body pump); running service (and baking service) will resume shortly after the new year 🙂
Cheerio 🙂
A bloke at work is doing exactly the same – flying to America on Saturday -and has booked himself into a hotel for tomorrow night.
It’s been snowing here (Kent) this evening BBC says heavy snow at 9pm, dry tomorrow then light snow Saturday – if that helps! Fingers crossed…
I’m so jealous. I’d do anything to be in a warm part of the states right now.
Better safe than sorry with regard to the hotel, I say. Even if the snow doesn’t come down it would be heartbreaking to have something spoil or interfere with your holiday, which sounds like it’s going to be wonderful.
Can I come with you in your suitcase 😉
Travelling is a hassle. Staying over the night before will de-stress it a bit so you can relax knowing you’re where you need to be. I’d do it.
I’m so jealous of you! It’s not snowing very heavily at the moment, so hopefully the airports should be fine! I would keep an eye on the news/weather though and keep your fingers crossed!
Enjoy America! 😀
I can’t wait to hear about your America trip! Have a wonderful time if I don’t speak to you before you go!
Eleanor- thanks – the met office are having a detailed update at midday so I think we are going to make the final decision then.
Jessica and Rob- I am leaning heavily towards the hotel tonight, so we shall see.Rob you are right about travel being stressful- I think I would be awake all of tonight worrying if we stay at home.
Emma- At the mo it should not be snowing at Gatwick til much later on Saturday, so I am hoping we will get off fine.
Laura- thanks 🙂
I know what you mean about having a fringe!
I agree with the others about the hotel. Knowing that you’re a little prone to stress when it comes to travel 😉 I think you’d feel much more relaxed staying there overnight. Treat yourself. It’s Christmas after all!
Thanks- we decided to do it, for £50 it was worth it I think 🙂
I totally missed that you are going to Disney! Have funn!! And I love Charleston! 🙂 You’re going to have such a good time and it’s such a pretty time of year to go…and warm 😉 It’s in the 60s here in Florida today!
Yay for the weather in Florida 🙂 Hooray !
