It is getting a tad blowy here too - I was just wondering if it was possible for the wind to actually blow in my office window.

I've been sent home now, but we have to work from home

thankfully a friend is getting the boys from school when it closes at 1pm. I do feel a bit guilty about that, its now very heavy rain/sleet and the gusts are horrendous.
I'm not sure *when* it'll be safe for me to go and get them though ...

DH is on the Ayrshire coast and they have to stay inside and listen out for tannoy announcements! He is on a work night out so plans to stay down there til its safe to come home.

We've lost one of the garage ridge tiles - lots of our boxed stuff is stored in the garage so I guess its all going to get wet :(

At least its a rented house so fixing it isn't our problem....

Kids all home safe, but DH is staying at work until the worst is past - could be a late night as its recommended not to travel until 9pm.

I think it's just arriving here now. Was a bit blowy first thing, then got better, but it has suddenly got dark and scarily windy. Just run out and put the toys in the garden away.

No word of schools closing early though.

DH is currently predicting a late night at work sorting out what's happening with buses.

I'm wondering if Beavers is going to get cancelled, DS2 is supposed to be getting invested tonight but I can't see them going ahead if the wind gets worse.

Down here in the south it's very wet & windy. I can only imagine how much worse it must be up there.

Bop, glad kids are home.

Hope your OH/DHs dont have to stay away too long & home safe.

Dh has left work, attempting to come home by train. It's normally an hour and a half commute, wonder how long it will take today?

**Gemiloch** · 08-12-2011, 01:13pm

I know RT, you'd think the C and NHS would work along the same lines wouldn't you!?

One of my chums is too scared to drive home I think

Could take a while Flicky, hope he gets home ok :fingerscrossed

Just back from a power cut. Hope there aren't many more of those today.

**Damsella** · 08-12-2011, 01:37pm

I have posted a thread to say that Scottish police advise no-one to travel between 2pm and 7pm today.

There are also loads of power cuts.

Be careful girls!
