Snow days…
So. Today I have a snow day. I got to school and then played in the snow for an hour or so - while pretending to inform parents who we couldn’t phone that the school was closed. It was great fun. Possibly the best way to end a term!
I now have a week off. Nice. I like snow days.
But this one turned bad when I got home and realised I didn’t have my house key and Sian didn’t have a snow day! I’m now sat in a cafe trying to feel my toes.
What are you doing posting on the blog? Either get out there and throw snowballs, or you’ve got websites to build!
Â
We’ve had no snow at all here, actually it’s just started now, woohoo!!!
Right…
I don’t have my key so I can’t go home, and can’t ftp from the cafe I am in so can’t do anything with any websites. AND the snow in Sheffield is rubbish. I wish I had stayed at school…
It’s better than the snow in Manchester - which doesn’t exist!
Â
We were promised the biggest snow in ten years… but we were lied to.
Â
I woke up later deliberately expecting to be able to go back to bed. But I drew the curtains to reveal the huge bland grey of the pavement!
Â
Grrrr
We haven’t had any snow either. Its annoying. I should be on placement today, but I woke up really late, so I have stayed at home to catch up on work and generally slack. If only we had snow, it would be a great excuse to get out with my new camera, I am iching to use it properly. I might take some photos of a rugby match at the weekend, but the forecast is bad, and I don’t want my new camera to be getting rained on.
Why have you got a snow day and i havent? why have i had to be at school ALL DAYÂ and you haven’t? Its not fair.
Â
Hello, by the way. i found your website!
Mr Chris Bailey - how on earth are you?!
The snow in Sheffield is rubbish isn’t it?! That’s the good thing about working SO far south as Chesterfield…
Everyone - meet Chris.

That’s great, I love number 5, your phone / fax and sex, as if they are all somehow related. Let me know when you get your £852,000,00. By they way, since you are so rich now, the price for your wedding photos has just gone up again. I really wish there was something I could do about it, but i am a slave to inflation.
Hi Chris
I was out in youlgrave (nr bakewell) this morning and the snow was AWESOME, and I was all excited about going sledging in sheff after uni and the closer i got to sheffield the less snow there was. RUBBISH. I think this might be the worst day of my life… that may be a lie, but i’m still pretty gutted…
hi..i dont know if this will let me post, but i hope everyone’s keeping well and that the snow is as fun as it should be.
oh and i got a tattoo. and a new haircut.
Carolyn - congratulations!
Ruth - yay! I didn’t even have to approve that one…
Pete - seeing as you are now making SO much more money from photo shoots, as a direct result of your website, I must now charge you a lot of money for your website. Please send me the money or I will insert a code that randomly swears at anyone who happens across your website.
Hi everybody!
Â
Good morning.
Â
As you know - I love wikipedia. This is because it truly is the greatest thing in the entire world.
Â
A friend sent me this link today:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Football_Association_of_Ireland&direction=next&oldid=106577096
Â
I should warn you that it is not exactly a PG certificate - the language is pretty bad (although it is not as bad as an episode of Deadwood).
Â
It’s basically a disgruntled Irish fan having a rant.
my mum is 60 today. I thought you might all like to know. Jez made pancakes this morning, which would have been nice if they weren’t at flippin 9am…a wholly unnatural time for food
It’s Kate’s birthday today too.
And it was Susie’s yesterday.
They’re not 60 though. Not even put together.
Happy Birthday to Me! And Mrs Ruth! And a belated one to Susie!
Â
And Hi Chris, I don’t know you.
Â
Andy, you were the first person to text me happy birthday today. I was disappointed that by 9am I had only had 2 birthday texts. As you get older you have less friends apparently…
Â
Oh and living in the South West sucks - no snow at all but lots and lots of rain.
Jonny- yer man makes a lot of sense. i’d be inclined to agree with his first paragprah anyway…..i dont have the time to read the rest.
Happy Birthday Ruth!
Â
I did send you a text this morning - I believe it was even before Andy sent you one.
Â
However… I don’t actually know your mobile number. I just had to guess. I’m sure I guessed the first two digits correctly (07).
Â
Anyhoo. It said “Happy Birthday Ruth!”.
Â
If anyone else got an anonymous text saying “Happy Birthday Ruth”, you can now relax. The mystery is solved. Please forward it to Ruth. If you are not sure of the number… it definitely starts 07….
Man… I feel silly…
It’s Kate’s birthday isn’t it… not Ruth’s.
Â
That means that my text this morning makes even less sense. Whilst the name of the receipient was ultimately incorrect… the sentiment behind the gesture was firmly directed at Kate.
Â
Ok. If anyone got an anonymous text saying “Happy Birthday Ruth”. It is not meant for you. It isn’t even meant for Ruth. It is intended for Kate.
Â
Please edit it accordingly and forward it to Kate.
Â
If you are not sure of her number. It still definately starts with 07….
so I was searching this blog on ask jeeves and it came up with this quote
Â
Rivelin watch manager Andy Hoyland said: “It was a large fire and you could see it for miles.
Â
well, it made me laugh…
oh yeah and Jonny, I had a hillarious message from a friend of mine who HAD been sent a random happy birthday message from someone she didn’t know…! Sadly, it can’t have been you since the happy birthday was intended for someone called Claire…unless you got confused further and thought ruth who should actually have been kate was called claire
How do you search a site on ask?
i wrote your name in the search bar!
hello? is it me you’re looking for?????????? i can see it in your…..that’s all i know sadly. ahhhhh…………..dancing…….my feet hurt, i cnat hear properly and im merry as can be……..karma rating of -1,000,000,000………………………………………no-one has acknowledged moi……….im not surprised……i wont say hi to me either!!!!!! haha………sniff sniff peace out, A town down
People sometimes think I’m called Claire.
People sometimes think I’m called Lucy. This is a good game.
People sometimes think I am called Phil, but the scary thing is, some of them don’t know my brother (who is called Phil).
People sometimes know me as Andrea.
Oh, wait, that’s a different game.
People sometimes think I’m called Caroline. Even Jonny sometimes calls me Caroline which is rather worrying as that’s the name of his sister-in-law!
I’ll let you know that Caroline Evans is a saint!
You could learn a thing or too!
hehe
Two?
that works as well I guess
lol that looks like one of my comments
Hi everyone.
Â
I’ve been ill so haven’t been on the blog for a whole week. I missed it. I also missed out on a lot of very funny conversations.
Â
I just had a bit of a chuckle catching up but it’s a but late to comment on any of it. I will just say, Kate - sorry it took me a few hours to text you Happy Birthday. I’ll admit, I forgot.
Hope you’re better, Gloria. Missed you on Thursday xxx
I am loving the fact that you can post when you are at work (and supposed to be working), but can’t post when you are ill at home and not supposed to be working. Are you still ill? I hope you get better soon if you are.
