Well I did well to get home tonight in the Passat and 225 baldish tyres. Some helpful people in burton helped push the old beast up the hill after the guy in front stopped for some reason and once I'd lost momentum I was stuck. No salt anywhere so all the roads were sheet ice. Even on the level it was taking forever to get going but made it back in 2 hours, normally 25 mins, sliding everywhere watching several people panic and ram the kerb. Have to go out in Passat tomorrow to rescue the A4 as Lynn bottled it and left it at work, despite being the one car with proper winter tyres on it...
Then to top it all my daughter had a snow ball fight and smashed the largest double glazed window in the house, so thats another months Cq money down the drain.
