1) icon stuff: I've done a holiday gift of a { winter/holidays icons post } for you guys and for the people who watch
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
paper_packages and I'm so pleased with how well received they've been. Talking of icons, I'd really like a new icon table generator where the icons are more spaced out. Anyone have any recommendations?2) operation: I have a date for my operation and it's on Friday January 28th. FINALLY.
3) heating: I've had no heating for two weeks but have had a new boiler fitted yesterday and am finally warm again. Been sick for about 3 weeks now and I'm sure the lack of heating hasn't helped that. Had another GP appointment for yesterday but due to the snow and icy roads I was unable to get there. Still, nice and toasty now, which is good timing as the South Coast appears to be suffering from the Snowpocalypse. This country is utterly ridiculous.
4) snow: Woke up Thursday morning to find snow had been dumped in large quantities here where I live. Dug my car out (and yes, I had to dig it out) and set off for work about 7am. Only made it as far as my managers house though, then spent the morning there helping her phone all our service users to let them know the day center where we work would be closed for the next two days. I have some snow pictures for you, taken over the last couple of days. They really don't show you though the depth of the snow we've had here, which may be light compared to other places but is pretty rare for the South Coast. Oh, and the reason the road outside my bedroom window looks like a sheet of ice is because it is:

I love your icons so much. I meant to snag some yesterday (OMG the snowmen!), so I will tonight instead. I'm so happy to hear that you have heating again ::hugs you:: that's excellent news. As is your hospital date -- it must be a relief to have it, and scarily enough, that's not too far off, yeah?

I'm extremely relieved I finally have a hospital date, having waited literally years for this particular operation. Not nervous yet, which is good =)
I'm really happy to hear you liked the icons, thank you! Hope you saw the Big Bang posts too, and that you'll be signing up next year =)
*hugs muchly*

i hate snow, it's snowing here right now. I've had that problem, they push all the snow right behind my car, it makes me so mad.

I just wanted to type that it's snowing here as well right now, but I think the snow has turned into rain and the streets are still frozen so... fun for all the car drivers. I skipped going to football today because of this (and I've gone for three years without ever missing a game). I hate this weather :(

And yes, it's great if you've nowhere to be or nothing to do, otherwise it's just a pain =/

The hospital thing is good yes? Best of luck anyway, hope that is everything you're hoping for.
Lovely photos, we've had about that much too and it's pretty unusual up here, mostly we miss the snow. Dog is enjoying it though and I've just left the car, hate driving in the ice, but it's rained most of the afternoon, so most has gone now.

So pleased to finally have a date for the op, waited such a long time for this!
I hate driving in it too, but thankfully it's mostly gone now.

Lot of snow has gone, but all the melt and the rain has frozen solid and everywhere is like a sheet of ice this morning - dog will not get a lift today, we'll be walking the golf course and not yet - I'm making her wait for it to thaw a little before I venture out.
Remind me again just before your op date, so I can send you good vibes.

Pretty much all thawed here and back to normal now. Even went into work today to try and get some cover planning in place for tomorrow =)
Take care sweetie and stay warm ♥

2. Thank goodness! At long last. As much as I love the NHS, it doesn't have take forever to get things done. Will you be in hospital for long? WILL YOU NEED US TO SEND YOU STUFF TO KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED AND HAPPY??
3. Holy crap! No heating?! I hope you have some thermal underwear or something because I have been frozen for like two weeks now. D:
4. SNOW! I like the pictures - you had more of a snow fall than I did. North London didn't get tonnes and it all melted last night.
♥ I've missed you.

2. I KNOW! Pretty excited actually, waited almost my whole damn life for this particular operation and it's hard to believe it's finally happening! Shouldn't be in hospital more than a few days, they like to get you out as quick as possible, but will be off work after that for about two weeks, with the splints staying in for a month, I think. YES, YOU MUST KEEP ME ENTERTAINED AND HAPPY AS I CAN BE A WHINY SICK PERSON!
4. We had a huge amount for down here, very unexpected!
That's so sweet ♥

It's been snowing here in northern Germany ever since I got here on Tuesday, nothing has melted away and I've taken to wearing my hiking boots if the slight incline to go outside and enjoy the snow even remotely wins over the whole "stay in, cover yourself in blankets, drink tea and read crazy amounts of slash fiction" impulse. ;)
Let's hope it's not as bad in Cologne, when I get back tomorrow, do not fancy having to take the train to school in the mornings, cycling is so much nicer!
The icons you made were really lovely! I am still madly in love with the last one I took though and since my "extra userpics add on" ran out a month or so ago, I cannot add any new icons at the moment anyway.
I am so happy your heating is working again. I think I would have walked around my flat constantly wearing a weird combination of blankets and tons of thick woolen socks and stuff, turning on all the electrical equipment I could find and lighting as many candles as possible without lighting the furniture, just to generate a tiny amount of heat. Not heating in winter, not good, not good at all!
Sorry to hear you are unwell. I caught this really persistent incredibly fast working bug last Sunday and was so sick I couldn't even leave the house less than 24 hours later, so I feel your pain!
I am so glad you finally have a date for your operation. I hope it all goes well and I wish you all the best! ♥
*snuggles*
Much Love to you!

I'm so glad you like the icons; thank you love ♥
It's very warm in this flat now, really toasty, though I whined a bit to Peter today that it's too warm now, and he says there's no pleasing me! He's probably right =)
I keep thinking it will pass and I'll feel better soon, and then I will for maybe a day or two, and think it's passing, then it'll just get worse again. Seeing my GP again on Tuesday, if it's still not shifted by then.
Thanks so much hon, I'm kind of looking forward to it finally happening =)

There is always something to complain about, I've been told that's part of the human condition ;)
I'll send you some of the healing vibes that helped me so far. Maybe that'll help.
I don't want to pry, re the accident and the operation, as I have no idea what happened and it's totally alright if you don't want to share. I still hope it all goes well and that the result will make you happy.

V. short version - hit by a car when I was on a bike aged 6, was pretty messed up, not just my nose. They tried to fix my nose then and messed it up, and said I then had to wait till I was 16 and they'd do reconstructive surgery, put it all right. Since I was 16 have had 4 or 5 surgeries (lost count) and NONE of them were the reconstructive surgery I should have had, but instead were temporary bodge jobs (shoring it up inside, that kind of thing) and they all went wrong. Am now finally haviing the recsontructive surgery I should have had!
Good luck with your own snow!

2. \o/ Hope it goes well for you. I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts. 2011 is the year for surgeries, it seems. I know 3 people having a procedure in January and I'm trying to schedule my gallbladder surgery for Feb. *fingerscrossed*
3. I am so jealous! There is no heat in my room. I've been existing with only an electric heater that I have to keep turning off in the morning and then try to quickly heat my room back up when I get home from work. I'm moving in January and there will be heat in ALL rooms. So excited!
4. Your snow pics are so pretty. Want some more snow? We're getting 1-3 inches overnight and I don't want it. I'm totally willing to send it your way. ;)
Take care bb, enjoy the holidays!

2) I've waited so very long for this, I can't believe it's finally happening!
3) It's definitely nice to have heating again, and heating that's so efficient; the flat has never been so warm!
4) Thank you - and no, I don't want any more snow!
Happy Holidays sweetie ♥

I am glad you finally have a date for the surgery. I am sure the waiting was the worst.
Yay for the new boiler! I am sure looking out at the snow is much more enjoyable now that the outside and inside temperatures are vastly different.

The snow here is now all gone, you'd never believe how deep is was only a few short days ago. So weird.
I'm very glad too about the operation date. Was starting to wonder if it'd ever happen!

I'm sooooo glad your heating is working again. I was very worried about you, sitting in your apartment and freezing.
Hurrah for heating and snow and operation dates and winter icons! (I've looked at them, but haven't had time to comment as of yet.)
