CYDA Challenge #9

Hello All!!!

Well, who has snow?  We had about 3 inches that had fallen over night this morning, and been having the odd flurries throughout the morning.  I've been travelling backwards and forwards to Sheffield this week and was getting worried about the snowy weather, but thankfully it held off until the Friday night...phewww!!  Though it has been bitterly cold which hasn't been pleasant when standing on a train station waiting for the train which was always late, not nice either when you are full of cold anyway.  Had this blighter of a cold for nigh on 2 weeks now, but it's been at it's worst this week, fingers crossed it appears to npw be easing slowly.

Right oh, I best get on with the latest challenge over at CYDA, the challenge this time round has been set by the lovely Sarah and it is...

Well it's Monday and I'm on a day's holiday from work as my dear car, which is all fixed and pretty again, has got it's MOT, garage has already called to say she needs a new exhaust bracket fitting *groan*, and I knew she needed a new brake light bulb, fingers crossed that will be all of it.  It's also Steve's birthday today, we're not really gonna do anything as we did some stuff over the weekend, so some crafting for me today I think.

Hope everyone is keeping ok, thanks for stopping by.
