Thanks TL. On the estate where I live the snow will be here for days to come yet. The gritters and snow ploughs don't come down this road as it only a side street and the council doesn't deem it an effective use of our taxes! A couple of houses up from mine the road takes a short but fairly steep incline and now that the snow has turned to ice it is lethal. In past years quite a few minor accidents have happened in similar weather condition b/c of this problem. Add to this is the fact that one of the people who lives in a house just on this incline for some stupid reason insists on parking on the road when the weather is like this even though he has more than enough room on his drive. So if someone does happen to spin on the ice they are likely to have a collision with his car.

Well the karma continues

H went to visit D18 at uni. It is the first time that he has been since she went there is September! Anyway he told D18 that last night OW booked a flight to Czech Republic, her homeland, and she flew this morning! H told D18 she has gone to get away from S16.

I rang S16 this evening to find out if things had got worse or kicked off again. He told me he has patched things up with his dad but not OW. He said he hasn't uttered a word to her in over a week.

OW is due back on Sunday. All my kids (and secretly me) are hoping she decides not to come back at all!
