I have winter tyres on the front of the subaru.

Shouldn't they be on the wheels?

The wife has a thing about jaywalkers right now. It's best this way.

I'm being a good new driver and gathering together all the stuff on the list. So far, I have de-icer (well, Andy had that already), a shovel, a petrol can, a torch, warning triangle, window wash stuff and a charger.

Lidl have a few things on offer from Monday that I might pick up - antifreeze tester thingy, first aid kit for a fiver, and a car cover. They also have snow chains for £20, but I'll not need those. And Homebase have rock salt in at the moment - will get Andy to get that as it's heavy.

Of course, as a new driver, if it does snow, chances of me actually driving in it are slim!

Get blankets, water and some biscuit bars, especially if you've got Onora.

Yup! On the list. Also keeping an eye out for some reflective vests. £5 each at Halfords seems excessive. I reckon I'll get a better deal on Amazon.

It's still over 8C early morning/late evening.

Winter is dead, long live autumn!
