Conditions on my ride this morning were truly terrifying. Its a miracle I made it back alive.

thought zip ties might be the way.
so fucked off.
stuck my studded winter tyres on last night in anticipation of snowpocalypse and gf was moaning about some non existent dirt on floor because she was actually stressing about her job interview this morning and as a result I missed doing the final tightening on my front axle nuts after I put the wheel on because I was arguing with her instead.
had a wobble in the bike on ride in and noticed my rear wheel was low on air so stopped to check it out. figured it was a slow puncture so topped it up again to get from oval -> clerkenwell. then noticed one of my front nuts was missing completely.
walked all the way from oval to clerkenwell, got new inners and an axle nut from LMNH.
take wheels off bike and bring them up to office to change inner tubes (doing both wheels as the valves on current ones are bit to short for the rims)
now the fucking things wont go back on
and it hasnt even fucking snowed.
