    I filled the bird feeders earlier with sunflower hearts and now the resident blue tits are having a huge squabble with a load of passing sparrows over who has rights.

    The blue tits are putting up a very good fight, there's a bewildered looking wood pigeon trying to scavenge the bits that drop, it's like a feathered Jeremy Kyle show!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I too have a Senseo machine, it's good,but only makes a small cup of (not so hot) coffee............

    I heat the milk in the microwave and top it up with the Senseo espresso which makes a very nice latte.

  • I'm back. My house is freezing so just nuked some soup to warm me up. I now have the Christingle and Carols by Candlelight service sheets to produce by tomorrow and no doubt the January Family service sheet will arrive this week too.
    I've bought all the candle holders home to replace the candles and foil ready for Sunday.
    Must do DD2's washing which arrived this morning too.

    (Snaggs, I'm really sorry and I do hope I am wrong, but in my humble opinion this guy wants to have his cake and eat it too. You deserve better.)

    I love coffee and would love a machine.
