1) icon stuff: I've done a holiday gift of a { winter/holidays icons post } for you guys and for the people who watch

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:

OMG SNOOOOOW! Stay safe and warm in it!

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?

ooh looks pretty...and cold... and pretty! :)
Glad you're warm now at least. brrrr!

Wow. That snow looks awesome. We never get to see it here, so I always see it as kinda magical.

Xx

I use this (http://lj.indisguise.org/icontablegenerator.php) generator, and it's got a couple of different options for layouts. It might have something that would work for you.

Glad you have heating again! DNW a frozen Muppet!!

i'm glad you have a date set hon and that you can be warm again.

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.

Sweetie, I am so happy you're warm now! And you have a date for the surgery. That's great news!

And I know the snow can be a pain and all, but it is so pretty.

*BIG HUG*

Snow is only fun when you can stay inside and have a working heater *hugs*

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 :(

snoooow :D. i live vicariously through all the snow in the uk. at least it's been coldish here.

i'm glad you finally got the surgery scheduled and i hope all goes well!

YAY! For heat...

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.

1. Your icons, as always, are beautiful! I'll probably snag a few later. :D

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.

I'm glad you have a date! I know you've really been looking forward to this surgery :-)

The snow is lovely :-) I can't wait til we get some here! (We were supposed to get some today, but no... fail.)

*sends you some massive hugs*

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!

1. Just commented. I've fallen behind again. *facepalm*

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!

The snow pictures are lovely. I am sure the snow is a pain to deal with, especially if you and everyone around you is unused to it. Whenever it snows here I just kind of point and laugh, because the locals freak out so easily. I'd like to see what they would do with 3 ft of snow in April.

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.

SNOW! Real snow! We never get snow like this in Houston. If we did, the entire city would shut down out of fear of the apocalypse or something. We practically shut down for a tiny snow flurry where nothing sticks!

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.)

*hugs and hugs*
