OMG, same here, a robin appeared on the window cill the day after my dad died and stayed for days, watching me through the window going through all the paperwork etc. Every time I see a robin now I think of my Dad. :T

Thats freaky, we have the robin as well, comes on grandads birthday, and comes really close to the house and the window ledge. x

Wow, can't believe we've broken the 1000th post barrier so soon.

Just read about 5 pages to catch up and now everyone's news is a mess in my poor brain so for now can I say:

PLM: love the new stuff on your blog

Rusty: so sorry your wee ones are still poorly, any better today? Give your OH a kick up the ar*e from me if he's being horrible to you. All blokes need one every now and again. Thanks for the CEX link, going to give them a try, I has some CDs that Music Magpie didn't want as they already have enough in stock.

Bikerchick: so glad you had a great time :T When are you seeing him again then...?

JS: can't believe your to do list :eek:, you're a woman on a mission, I don't think I do that much stuff in a month let alone a week.

Hugs to anyone who wants one

Or maybe its just because its a Robin Red Breast we notice it more than we would if it was a manky old sparrow - however my feet are firmly in the its a sign camp.

Today I have sorted my craft box out and found a cross stitch set or two unopened :O
and 3 pound coins
Still none the wiser what to buy a 13yr old might go look and see if I can find a golf set or something

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes for my date. Had second date last night as he usually works nights but is on hols this week, so we're making the most of it!
Had my 15 minute tidy yesterday, put up five pictures and tackled the junk drawer in the kitchen. Stitch and !!!!! last night, two glorious hours of knitting and chatting. Then jumped in the car and went to his house. Bad Bikerchick.
Finishing work here at 5.30 then at the pub 6 till finish, then must go home and sleep x
