            Morning campers. I'm up and dressed and I have even done my hair..lol. But then it might be something to do with my friend from 10 doors down ringing me at 7am, and asking me, very nicely, if I could take her to work as it was absolutely chucking it down with rain. So it gave me a good excuse to get up and get showered and dressed, so I could get on with things that need doing today. Unfortunately it didn't work like that..:D I dropped my friend off at work at 8.30am and then came home to have a cup of tea and check the computer..have been here ever since..lol. Oh I did write myself a list for today so that is something I suppose..lol
 Nothing to write on the bird front I'm afraid, unless you count the poor sparrow that looked like he had been dunked in a very deep bath and forgotten to use a towel afterwards :rotfl:He didn't look very impressed I can tell you, but then he was daft enough to come out in the rain and get some food..doh!!
 Oooh have to tell you all, when I go out in the garden now Mr and Mrs Dove and Woody the woodpigeon suddenly appear from nowhere and sit on my fence. I think they think that they are getting fed when I go outside. At the weekend one of the doves nearly sat on DH's hand to feed, but the dogs were wandering around outside and the poor dove was a bit uncertain. They are getting really tame now, bless them. They don't even mind if the two dogs and Olliecat are wandering around in the garden, they still come down and feed from the feeder. I hope they don't starve next week as we aren't able to feed them due to not being here..lol. I'm sure they will find somewhere else and then come back when we are back. Either that or they will totally ignore us..lol. Which reminds me have to pop out and feed them in a min, I imagine the doves will suddenly appear as per normal :rotfl:
 Hugs and love to everyone, especially Toots, Diva and LL

            I am not happy. DH is driving me crackers. I was supposed to take him to the station this morning but he did his usual thing of walking off and not looking back while I tried for ages to get the blinking key fob to bleep. We have had this row so many times. This is how he lost DD2 in Cornwall 2 weeks ago. :mad:
 All his work stuff and overnight bag is locked in my car and I walked home I was so p'd off. I'd left my phone at home and there are 6 missed calls. I can't make up my mind if I should ring him to give him a piece of my mind?
 I have to collect DD2 at 12 then take her to see her psychotherapist about her trichotillomania.
 I'm missing a PTA meeting tonight as DH and DD1 are not here. It's the boyfriend's birthday so she's going out straight from work.
 The post has brought a letter about DS1's oral surgery. We have to ring for an appointment within 7 days. I will do it next week when I know what his college timetable looks like.0
