projects snow go

was hoping to get cracking on my latest project today but will wait a bit longer now.red mk1 on drive waiting tlc.

no work for me today so i thought i may have a bit of a tinker. plucking up courage right now by putting the kettle on

get stuck in a bit of snow shouldnt stop you !!!!

i've been up since 4am, umpteen cups of tea, keep saying i'll wait till snow stops. might go sledging instead  

i'm still courage plucking

No effin snow for me  :evil:

All over the news "South Wales has been the worst affected area…" - not this part of south wales it hasn't!    :evil:

I've hopefully sorted problem with girlfriends cabby. red battery light kept staying on, and had vertually no lights. so i changed alternater belt (looked very worn ) and put a new battery on. just tried it red light came on, revved it a little light went off , left ticking over (another cup of tea ) battery light not showing so fingers crossed job done, grateful girlfriend now making me a bacon butty and a cup of tea . result

Send some bacon butties this way.

mmmmm, bacon butty, now there's an idea! Could be just what I need seeing as I'm off work. Oh the advantages of working in a school, slightest bit of snow, and they close the place  :mrgreen:

Mike.

Jim give us a clue as to where your hiding the resto in the pic :dontknow:
snow joke i cant find it!

??? let me lead you down the garden path, then you will see a red mk1 shaped thing that is like a mk1 only with no engine or interior. woolley i have eaten  all the bacon butties, cos somebody ate all the pies.
douglove a closer look for you.

I didn't get anything done today either…..thought about scraping the snow off the drive and fitting the engine, then it started snowing again!

 glad to see it's not only me with hose pipe left out and car bits in their garden, let me guess the shed is full of mk1 bits that might come in handy one day. told missus it was normal.

Yes, its normal. If she doubts you, I could provide photographic evidence to back your cause up, if needs be. Beware any 'lines' drawn in the shed with gardening stuff on one side and car stuff on the other, though.

had the threat of being moved into the shed a few times but been lucky so far settee only  :wink:

Al, it was more like Mid Wales.  Here, in the Brecon Beacons, was worst.  Sennybridge to be precise.

When I left for work this morning..



Challenging drive to say the least - had to double my trip length to avoid one hill, going through the 'easier' Llangors - got to work, a lady from Llangors didn't show 'til 11.30 'cause her new Skoda TDI couldn't handle it!

some where i heard east anglia wil be bad and so will midlands so i decided to ring in and tell em aint comin in just incase i cant get home its an hour and halfs drive to notts from mine but we got some flurries but nothing settled really and apparently notts aint had alot either bout the same as us so i dont think work is best pleased with me lol

Well, it didn't stop me.

Went to work at 6, was late in because the doors COMPLETELY froze shut.

Got home this afternoon when it started snowing/raining and went to roll around in the slush removing the and replacing the front suspension bolts on our new T25 pickup that my brother sheared.

Probably would have been best staying in because I've been in the shower for like half an hour and I'm on the settee in my duvet and only just warming up. ops:

Could be worse - could be an igloo!!!

Was even worse today.  Unexpected snow meant after getting to work I thought it was fine, not realising the roads between work and home were getting worse and worse.

Luckily left at lunchtime after hearing the roads were getting too bad for the gritters!!  My GX battled through, only got stuck when trying to park outside my house  8)  Handy light cars - almost sorted it by myself but was easy to push through the snow with my neighbour.
