    I've seen wagtails, but I can count the number of times I've seen a kingfisher on the fingers of one hand, literally - and I'm really old :eek::rotfl:

    Can you be A'd to get the sealer today? :D When my new washing machine was being installed, I was peering under the sink and found I could see daylight :eek: so I too had sealer on my list :D bought it yesterday from Robert Dyas, better than not buying it, so to speak...

    I need to get it as I want to fill in round the window frames. So, you've bought the sealer, now your next challenge is to use it :rotfl:.

    I need to decide whether to get dressed and go and get the sealer or read and review a free book :D.

    Go get the sealer.....I won't insist you use it though, read the book then. ;)

    I must be incredibly fortunate I've seen Kingfishers quite regularly near where my parents are, the river path is one of my favourites for running or walking when I'm up there as you almost always see something - deer, badgers, kingfisher.

    Oh, how lovely :T. Not the deer though, I used to see loads every day going to that work thing I used to do :D, always waiting for the stupid things to run on the road. And last week we sat watching a deer that had been hit to make sure it didn't cause an accident till the police and local farmer came :(.

    So, been to get sealer. Out of stock :rotfl: as I wanted one without a gun - need to go back tomorrow! Can do everything else except that though. Did get treated to a glorious view of a buzzard on a hedge - sitting with its friends the magpies confused-shrug-smiley-emoticon.gif, still there when I came back then flew off really low :T.

    I feel a bit like that - so far the following have escaped from me:
    • Hammock
    • Garden furniture
    • Drawers & magazine rack
    • Curtains
    • Quilt, pillows & bedding
    • 3 chest of drawers & dressing table from my room
    • Paint
    • And about to go - wardrobe, 2nd dressing table & only full length mirror I own

    You didn't declutter the pillows... :(

    Did any of you read the Kondo book or just the threads on here? Going to try it later today with my clothes. Think I need to buy one of these for drawer through as my drawers are big so everything will unfold and fall over (plus I can stuff things in the holes so don't need to fold pants :o:o)

    Also not sure how having big eBay and gumtree piles features :think:

    Weighed myself this morning - slightly less :eek: than it was, now not to enter self-destruct mode before Chub Club on Thursday :o

    Happy Monday :T
