Womble whereabouts are you? You can't be that far from us as we are only 40 mins from Glasgow.

Ash is great for gritting snow, we did it a lot at our old house as our hot water ran on a solid fuel Rayburn.

Beatson's Building Supplies in Alloa have sand/salt. £15 for a bag - twice what it was a few weeks ago, apparently!

There was a queue this morning to buy it. I'm going to spread some now.

Don't you just hate profiteering?

I tried to find salt today - not a chance!  Not even for my dinner!  Not that I use much but I feel deprived because I can't have it!  Somehow it doesn't sound quite right to go to a neighbour for a cup of salt ;) ;D ;D ;D
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

I put our last household salt on the paths last week and have not had any since, only a bit in the salt cellars, never thought it would dissapear off the shelves that quick!!!!

Rather randomly, I was given a discount card from my work for them last week.
