Whats your Snowy Dilema of today?

My dilemma of the day was which outfit my snowman suited the most and if I had a big enough bottle of whisky (I never had to go to pub :))

Took 5hrs to get home from work, left at 1515 arrived at home 2000, spent most of the time sitting on the Dartford Bridge.
 
My Dilemma is my boyfriend. He believed it would be a good idea to drive to work. We own scooters. I skidded about ten times.
It took me just under three hours to get to manchester from bolton :/
 
My neighbour started moaning because I made a snow Hitler in my front garden, dunno why, I don't moan about the Star of David on their front door. :confused:
 
My dilemma was waking up FAR too late this morning. Threw my kit on, realised everyone had already left so wasn't able to get a lift to the other camp. Had no money for a taxi. Cue the dilemma, either deciding to wait 3 hours, and go in very late, and hope that I wasn't missed, or walk in, and acknowledge I was late, but get in to trouble less. The air temperature here is ridiculous, never mind with the wind chill!

I went for the second option, and fortunately, I managed to blag that I was doing work somewhere else on camp for the 40 minutes I was late for hah.
 
Dug out the driveway for 3rd time (running out of places to put the snow).
Dug out the bins as its bin day.
Dug out my neighbors 4x4.
Dug out a stranded Peugeot.
Dug out a gas networks van (he was stuck even with snow socks).
Dug/ pushed 2 cars out the gym car park.

Only thing I didn't have to dig out was my 10yr old Punto which thanks to skinny tyres and careful driving is awesome on the snow, it pulled the bosses car up an incline out the work car park! Only problem is the ridge between the tracks on my street is now so high that it scrapes the front bumper but its a crappy plastic one so even that's no problem.
 
My handbrake has frozen/seized on, and I refuse to lie in a foot of snow underneath a car to try and fix it, so I'm a bit scunnered.

Been helping to push cars + vans out of my street all day with my dad, both of us have done our backs in doing it :), would hope people would do the same for me though.
 
Daughter (13) got sent home from school yesterday at 10am. I was off anyway so no problem. Her mates were all kept at home though so she was annoyed I sent her in the first place. The schools explanation was 'because too few pupils turned up'.

I have to point out here that the school is approx 300yds away from my house.

She begged me to allow her friend to sleep over then changed it to her sleeping at her friends after I'd said OK, her mate lives a couple of miles away.

This morning I get a barrage of texts claiming her mate is staying off and the school won't be opening.

The dilema was do I say OK do what your mate is doing or do I tell her she has to go. I felt telling her to go was in some ways undemining her mates parents authority, causing her hosts a problem in getting her ready to go and possibly showing her up a bit at the same time. I also felt a little bit manipulated.

I told her to get her arse into school and I didn't care what her mate was doing.

5 minutes later the school texts all the parents that kept their kids off the day before and her mates had to go anyway :p
 
Silly drivers do my head in, Driving home from work tonight, which is usually about a 6 mile country journey turned into 1.5 hours give or take, no gritters had been out. small hills you go up real slow, just keeping traction (ford focus) and then pedestrians are walking on the road, not the pavement ?, also I have to negotiate a lady in a electric scotter coming towards me, this is at 9pm. Too many people driving too fast, driving too close, 4x4's wanting to own the road. Grrrrrr.
 
Do I go to work tomorrow? The station is 40 minute walk away across fields in normal weather, no suitable shoes for the snow, can work remotely, although the customer wants me on site ... guess I will have too but I'll be bloody grumpy about it.
