Genie Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 18 hours ago, Stevo985 said: It's made my mom homeless She moved house today. I say moved house, she moved her stuff out of her old house and into her new house. But she hasn't actually completed on the new house. She's only been allowed to move her stuff in because the seller knows the estate agent who knows my mom. The seller doesn't live there so let mom move her stuff in. So the plan was move the stuff in, then fly to Ireland where she's holidaying for 2 weeks. Except now her flight is cancelled until at least tomorrow. So she's homeless (In reality she'll stay at mine, but I'm winding her up in the meantime) I’m supposed to me moving house tomorrow. Solicitors have been absolutely useless throughout so I expect them them to mess this up tomorrow somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Quite a bit by me in Nottingham. the main roads are ok, but the hill I live on has a 4-5 inch layer on the roads, and the paths are worse. It's still coming down heavily. The sky was incredible last night, from midnight until dawn, it was faintly orange, and the street wasn't dark.

Ingram85 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Guys, I think it’s snowing. Has anyone looked out the window yet to confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2018 It's **** bitterly cold. The gravel on my drive is frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The 'hill' I live on isn't particularly steep, it's no more than 15 degrees, but everyone has taken one look out of the window, and decided not to bother. Except one man, who tried to drive up. Got stuck. Reversed back down. Gave it another go. Got stuck even earlier. Got out, walked around the car, threw his arms up in the air, and is currently sat parked, a third of the way up, considering his options. It's been a work in progress for about 20 minutes, I'm almost crying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 It's been snowing here since about 4 in the morning, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. There was already a thin layer from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 We worked in it most of yesterday, and my hands were in so much pain. Would rather be at work than sat at home, but can't be helped I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Company my OH works for (Aldi, head office) have told them that they HAVE to make every effort to get to work. They can "take their time", but even if it takes them half the day, they have to try and make it in. Anyone else think that's terrible advice?!

Can I ask, do you feel as though you need to put "head office" in there, because if she just worked at ALDI, you'd be embarrassed? You ALWAYS do it! And yes, whichever white haired, balding bloke with a 46 inch waist who thought of it deserves a swift and uncompromising heart attack.

Not surprised, I had an interview there and got the "massive bunch of bastards" vibe, glad I turned that down! They pride themselves on working their staff to the bone, and seemed to be one of those companies that think perceived 'effort' and presenteeism as a substitute for turning in decent work... At my current place, there was no managerial comms, we just all worked from home today. It was a given. Except for the one guy who turned up, opened the office up, realised nobody else was coming and went back home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
