    Some of you flyladies know just how decisive I can be.

    Well, after a bit of advice from Pen-Pen, I've just agreed to have two of the chicks that have hatched at DS's school. I've asked for two ladies.

    Off now to read up on chicken keeping....

    Great decision, you won't regret it...chickens are great! They also act as therapy - however stressed you are, just watching them peck, peck, pecking around makes you feel calm and chilled out.

    You'll need to think of names - our ladies are Chubby, Barbara, Margo and Mrs Dooms-Patterson :D

    And you'll have to learn chicken language - there is only one word which means everything...bok, bok, bok, bok, bok, bok...

    Morning everyone.

    Done the school run and will be off to toddlers with DD2 in a minute.

    Got a mountain of ironing to do so will do a HHI when DD2 is in bed after lunch.

    Had DD1 in tears this morning as she's fallen out with a friend at school who has said she doesn't want DD1 smiling at her as she only wants another girl smiling at her and she doesn't want to come to DD1's house for tea either. Two weeks ago they were friends. Leaving her to sort it out herself I think. Will see how things have gone when I pick her up later.

    Congratulations on your new babies Soappie!

    See you later.

    Have also got three loads of washing on the line and I have washed out my black wheelie bin - happily all my smelly little visitors (bar 2) had either accompanied the rubbish to the tip or headed for pastures new last night. Dropped boiling water in the bin before I washed it out - it actually LOOKED very clean...Hex I would feed dry food but my cat will not longer eat it ... she's 11 and has got fussy of late.

    Okaaaay... there is my list for today. :eek: Have taken the day off work as reccommended by docs, and hopefully getting some flying done will help with the 'stress' or whatever it is. I've had a lie in anyway, which has helped a little I think. :rolleyes:

    Tried to catch up with thread, but failed misreably, so will just say (HUGS) to all who want/need one and hope everyone has a great day :grouphug:
