    Toots - you can buy tubs of little worm like things - not alive and wriggling at places like B&Q - I'll find you a link - they love those.

    Been to the cinema to see 'Wall Stree 2' with DS1 this evening which was very enjoyable.

    Oh we could get snow overnight - kids will be pleased.

    Bit fed up with my mother. I sorted out all the prices for her to switch supplier, worked out all the savings, set up a quidco account for her and now she has decided to stay with BG despite the fact that they are way more expensive for her. Wish I'd spent the time on my own house insurance.

    Advice on feeding birds

    Different types of food

    I sometimes buy a box of the atora suet which comes in boxes for about 80p from the supermarket and sprinkle that out for the birds

    went to make a hot water bottle and water was VERY slow coming out of the tap...
    ... realised there was a lot of noise outside - why have the chosen tonight to dig up the road and find a leaking pipe? I've known there was a leak for at least a week as I can hear the echo in the pipes at night (I don't phone anymore, as the water company were SO rude and unhelpful the first time I did it, I now wait till other people notice and deal with it. We're on a shared water supply, so there's a retired guy who normally co-ordinates it). I can't believe it was so urgent it couldn't wait till morning...

    Oh well, I suppose I should go to bed. The kitchen is nice and clean, and work is just about under control.

    See you all tomorrow!
