Guest51810 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 That's great news that they have sent him home, I bet you wish you could snuggle down together until it passes im not even going to see him, hes just going straight home to his mums and im at my mums, was going to go up later on but just going to stay in. Going to start looking at flats together again since doesnt seem to be much happening on the emmigration front! we've barely saved much since we moved back with parents so its been a bit of a waste of time lol. Update - proper winds started and hail/rain, i dont think my windows can take it :frown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 STAY IN!! dont go out unless you really need to, dont fancy being on the forth road bridge today lol :confused: The weather is changing every minute :wacko: sun trying to sneak a peak, strong winds and rain then calm for a second or two. Feel like going out with the kids and doing that thing with your jackets where you are walking towards the wind and it is forcing you back :laugh: not sure what it's called but it used to fun in the school playground :biglaugh: I should stay in but feel like heading out for 1/2 hour, decisions decisions!!!! again this Scottish weather has ruined my plans!!!

Guest51810 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 are you going out in the car or walking? you'll probably be okay, its forecast to get really bad at 12pm. lets hope sean batty and the met office has made a mistake lol. yeah i know what you mean about the jackets lol i used to do that at primary school. good day for flying a kite! it keeps changing here too, one min its raining, then it turned to a sort of hail and now the skys went kinda blue but its still windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
