    I reckon this was a desperate act by Toys R Us and Maplins to sell sledges before they went bankrupt.

    Snow storm my arse, it's a big con like the Moon Landings.

I was watching people coming down the hill backwards, doing a 3-point turn and reversing up the other side just now.

    All schools round here are shut today, unlike yesterday when we had heavy snow but people went anyway. It's been snowing since Monday night and sitting around -2 during the day, so it's not going to disappear anytime soon.

    Sadly, the snow is so dry and soft the sledge just sticks.

    I didn't realise it had snowed a bit yesterday until I popped out and discovered how icy the pavements were - had had a couple of inches. This morning, the snow has encroached into my little patio so I dread to think what it's like out on the street.

    Staying indoors with my hot chocolate.

    Don't fret. Sledges can be used on mud too....

    I got up this morning at 7.00am, left the house at 7.30. Drove up the M3, around the M25, up the M1 150 miles to Nottingham.

    It took me 2.5 hours in rush hour and was the fastest journey I've ever done for the same route. Didn't snow once.

    Load of rubbish.
    Very lucky - it took just shy of 25 minutes to get into the tube station last night.
