I really really hate the snow. we moved to the east midlands as I just couldn't stand the snow and cold in N Yorks no matter how pretty it was. Today I am so anxious I itch all over and feel like crying all because it snowed again yesterday just when it was clearing. I could scream. Its my 59th birthday on Sunday and I don't want that either so haven't been able to tell my nice husband what I would like as a pressie. I have been dieting strictly since September and haven't lost as much as I would hope and I cant even eat anything to comfort me as i am trying to break the pattern of comfort eating and drinking. i am probably just a spoilt neurotic bitch but I feel terrible today.

I will not like the snow if it stops me going over the hills to see DGS on Friday. The forecast is not looking good.

I nearly had a heart attack when I read this thread, as I am due to leave for NZ on 12th February and I thought I had somehow lost a month! Then I realised the thread is a year old!
Thick snow here, of course, and it will probably last until April, but I will be sunning myself next month!
I hope you are surviving, Susie!

I do hope you are lucky with the weather in NZ, Greatnan. They've had a good summer so far and the grasslands are quite dry in the Canterbury area. My nephew's wife put a picture on Facebook of a fire not far away from their house- but not on the scale of the Australian ones.

Thank you, anna, it has been lovely in the Wakefield area this summer, so I am hopeful, but the main aim is to spend time with my family, and hire a car to explore both Islands.
