Overnight snowfall, roads not gritted, suspension of ALL bus services and some rail networks including mine. Am I whining? Heck, it'd be hypocrisy if I were to say I do not enjoy a day off work. But, what does one do when forced to stay at home by force majeure ? LOL!!!

OMG!!! Procrastination with pending household chores is something I am forced to resolve today. I have 50 boxes to unpack since my house was refurbished last summer. What a jolly Monday this is going to be.

po phoned i reading her your post and she killing herself laughing....

I like it when your procrastination leads you to us, Lola.
What fun unpacking boxes. It's a nightmare, when you don't know where to put the stuff.

LOL!!! Po, have you found something to while away time with as well? Service on the Central and District lines are pfffft!

Well...after unpacking the boxes which contained my CDs and DVDs, I have decided to proscrastinate further and leave the rest for later. Whenever that may be. Consider it a scientific exercise in proscrastination. Heck! Even typing such a looooooong word helps to add to the exercise so...I'll type it later and find something to "p" about. Oh, well...eventually. LOL!

LOL!!! Read again, EW! LOL!!!

lol heer comes po now we joint typing lol.....or she just procrasticating about typing ......


good time to try the pole dancing lola.... no need for the fireman wellingtons ....just enjoy the swinging....

Procrastinate, Celt. Do the dishes later.

Weeeeeeell, we don't have audio here so "kissing teeth" won't exactly translate...so pffffffft it is.

Yep. A very lazy Monday. Sloth actually would be more apt. I have no contingency plan for days like today. I am trying to see how much further I could get with this exercise but, I procrastinate. Procrastinate over procrastination? Is it possible?

all things are possible....apart from me actulie leaving the computer lol.

iv sooooo much to do i have to.....as it be L time soon then nuthing will get dune ...if it wase't for that id stay heer and chatt with ya lola....

"Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That's how it goes,
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev'ryone knows...."

Kissing Teeth Celtic is 'tutting'...tut tut...ua get it now??

oh tut tut as in king.....got ya now

so then is it an american saying and its only me that dose't get it typical lol.


anyway made any snowmen latlie ladies?

i had a red letter day for electric so had to do that type of borring stuff or thir be a single homed power cut lol. it was nice all 3 and maybee even EW so all 4 of us on heer this morning

#
home heating oil's gone up and now with more snow comming it go even higher.

i need a refille every week my electric bill comes out yep double trouble! every 3 mounths

lola what did ya end up doing in the end.

No, Celt. Not tut as in king...more like Jamaican tut tut. Very common in southeast London.

Well, I thought I'd shovel my pathway...then discovered I did not have a shovel. But, I had a dustpan. Then I looked at my pathway, then back at the dustpan. Guess what I did? What I can do today I put off for tomorrow. LOL!

Went over next door to my son and DIL's. She prepared clam chowder and then I went back in to mine and put Barry White on...the King of Lurve...then fell asleep. My son's unpacking my boxes now and helping my DIL put things away. Some to theirs. LOL!!! I supervise.

You use heating oil? No British Gas up there?

Also spoke to my youngest grandson who insisted on speaking Welsh to me. God alone knows what he was talking about!

Lola, sounss like productive snow day to me. A bit of unpacking, chatting here, spending time with family - perfect - especially leaving the shoveling for someone else.

I have never seen anyone try to shovel(?)snow with a dust pan... Yikes Lola, you'd be shoveling till next winter. Let the snow melt on its onw, heck its only water after all...Shovel, smuvel, LOL!!!!

yep gas is new to NI as thier was always the fear of it being bombed. some houses have gas it was a big thing it being brough back becouse of peace process.....ah thats the wonder of gas....ise't that how the jingle went.

yes oil lola and outside boilers with massive tanks... its trippled in cost at lest and ast year i know a few single parent families without oil so no heating in the house for mounths. This years been worse.


sounds like your familie looked after you well lola nice to see for a change. good you let them

why haven't you learned welsh?

Shoveling snow with a dust pan! Lola, that cracked me up LOL.

Yep. My son and DIL thought that my dustpan idea was going to be a backbreaking endeavour against a foot and a half of snow. Went back inside and considered table salt. Not enough, I reckon. So, the 6-month newlyweds decided it was a good idea to unpack the boxes, flattened and laid them out in the pathways.

I know some Welsh phrases, Celt. Enough to greet and thank people but, I find Welsh a difficult language to learn. Could also be a case of "old-dogs-new-tricks".

Some buses and rail services are still "inconvenienced" by snowfall. London was on a massive skive yesterday and some skiving is still likely for today. What an amusing and perplexing circumstance it must be for Russians. LOL!

But, then again, it really does not snow that much in the UK like Russia. We get rain.

yea a cannadian online frend said it was -33 for them! i can't even imagine it but my canadian now heer frend said they have in house insolasion and heating systems that can cope with that temp, unlike us!


a foot and a half po told me 6 inches lol

yep say that it looks like more snow or skiving today.

we had sleet then hail this morning, it was sunny half an hour ago and its ment to be colder still tonight lol. seems like a normale day eh!

lola how trulie english to be talking about he weather. I still rember what you said about me eating a hanburger like how I do...consider yourself gotten back lol.

Has London survived the great white out? So, what was the final count? An inch? 6 inches? A foot?

Celtic, did you eat a hamburger with your hands, like it was intended? Do you eat your fries with your hands, or cut them up in small pieces and use your fork?

lmao
i eat my chips with my hands (fries) but cut my burger into 1/4 with my knife and i may have eaten it then with my knife and fork.....yes she said i ate my burger like an english person!
not even a scot but an english person, thats a bit like calling you a canadion only not meaning it as a compliment so its a bit diffrent, lol.

so you agree us non americans do eat burgers with our cutlary that makes us non americans lol. .....i though i was just being dantie and ladylike, you know me!

pizza can be done with hands but if you have a salad and coleslaw you gotta use cutleriee.

apart from burgrs you are ment to eat all food with knife and fork! even, bread and butter in my dads familie. no hands at all, thiyd been chopped off.

what do you all eat the salad on the side of the plate with thats extra to the one on your burger?....

Thats WHY burger king & McD has no cutlery lmaoooo i just worked it out.

LOLOLOLOL!!!

Your exchange made me laugh so loud, I could have woken up the dead.

Yep. I survived another white out i.e. another day off work. My road has not been gritted but snow has thawed out some where the sun shines in my property. In some corners and the back garden, I have thick ice and I wonder whether it'd have killed my daffs. Spent the whole day reading.

O my gosh, they eat sandwiches in Germany with a knife and fork too! And serve room temperature coca cola without icecubes. My hair is standing on end whle typing this.
Lola...so you read all day? What a lovely procrastinator. I like you more and more.

so how do you eat a salad without a knife and fork?....ladies...

i do have cola with ice but i cal it cola...its coke heer but i donn't wanna get into trouble using that word and heven help it gets its real name....


did ya rember the silent look i gave you lola when you said that comment to me, your chocolate malt was nearlie a hot cocolate lol. hmmmmm

You put the lot between two slices of bread. LOL!

Guess what I am doing now, Celt? Went to bed early, woke up with a craving for something sweet. Just treated myself to a bowl of pistachio ice cream, added slices of banana, topped with golden syrup and rice krispies. LOL! Cola on the side.

12:00 A.M. (GMT)

R.O.F.L,...You lassies are as mad as a box of frogs.. .

Celtic my dear, are you getting TOO melllow in your old age.....people are getting of TOO lightly for likening you to being 'like an english person???' .
Where is your Celtic identity rhetoric...I bow my head in shame!!!! Ann being likened to an canadian!! Whats happeneing, where are the protests ladies???

Eating ettiquette(sp)is one thing...but identity jokes are just taking things TOO far...like I mean to say...A Celt is a Celt is a Celt..end off, no disputing not even in fun. I take this matter very seriously indeed..and I am deeply shocked and miffed,
deeply I say,...deeply.

Poppie(the profoundly patriotic,..... pffft!!! :/)

Aye and Och!

did you put that beetween two slices of bread too!

put the salad in a blender....oh aye, thats just a healthy drink!!

That's almost like drinking grass juice! LOL!

Nope, Celt! That'll be overdoing the carbs.

As for the food...no one realy gets what 'munchie' food is about unless it is your own version. However, when Lola posted about her culinary endeavours..both Celtic and I got the 'munchies'...ta me go miath(thank you very much) Lola...I got a sick tummy in the night as I never eat that late!!
