Today it's very rainy. I would go outside, and do some Christmas shopping, but it looks very unappealing today - wet and dark. So... I'm staying in and what better to do (until Strictly Come Dancing starts) but blog!! I haven't blogged for a while because everything gets so busy in the run-up to Christmas (Xmas parties etc) and at work, things don't seem to be winding down either. I am dashing around the country and when I'm not off somewhere random, I'm doing lots of writing!
Frankofile kindly tagged me - asking me to name five addictions in return for this beautiful award. I do think I can get easily addicted to things. Some things though that are most addictive I thankfully can happily go without e.g. smoking and alcohol.
1) Coffee- I like my morning cup when I arrive into work, it sets me up for the day. It's funny because for years I didn't like it and now I'm addicted to it. However, there is a caveat - I am not addicted to boring, plain coffee but to speciality coffees like
mochas and cappuccinos. The more chocolate that is involved the better. An expensive addiction, yes, but a delicious one. Addicted as I am to coffee, I limit myself to two cups maximum per day.
2) Chocolate - preferably milk chocolate. I love how it melts in the mouth and it's lovely creamy texture
mmm.
3) The
Internet- I don't think I could function without email/blogging/
facebooking/online news anymore. This is one addiction I don't exercise much self-restraint with!
4) Shopping - I am feeling a bit
caged-in now because it's raining so much and it's a Saturday so I should be out shopping!
5) Bed - I love bed (although not actually my current bed as it is rock solid, and not all nice and soft). When I drag myself out of bed in the morning, I am often thinking when I can get back into it at night. I'm not looking forward to having to get up at 6.15am on Monday. At weekends, I love lying in although sometimes like this morning, I'm in such a routine that I wake up anyway.
So - I have to pass this blog award onto five other
bloggers. I think I will pass it onto
Dottie because I think it's such a fabulous award, and she deserves it for managing to maintain her blog whilst also getting a Distinction for her studies at the
OU! Oh - I see
Frankofile has also awarded it to Dottie but never mind - you have a second nomination for this award Dottie. My mind is blank, and I can't think of four others...

The picture below was taken by Veggie Hubby whilst we were sitting in Starbucks. We braved the snowstorm just for a festive drink.
This picture below (of a shop window display - unfortunately not my own handiwork) is especially for Ms Cocoa.
So these are some of my pictures of the extreme snowy weather here. I am sure more will follow soon. In the meantime, here is a link to pictures other people here have taken of the recent snowstorms.
