    LW/nixie/happycrafter we could have an exhibition! Guess which dog?:rotfl::rotfl:

    Only problem is mine doesn't decorate a window. He decorates one wall in the dining room.It is the high traffic area to the kitchen so it ensures he gets lots of attention:eek:

    ETA pigpen Just asked for facebook access. I did wonder where all these gorgeous photos were.


    mine would be the one closest to the floor he is only a small dog, but boy can he make a mess :rotfl:

    phew - more like 40 mins but:

    Toy mountain scaled and tidied away
    Living room dusted and hoovered
    Clutter (that has no moving box to live in yet) collected in tub and put in bedroom out the way

    half of hallway hoovered

    bathroom hoovered

    Bedroom hoovered
    Clothes for folding put on bed (means has to be done before I can sleep!)

    PJs and bath bits put out for baby's bath and bedtime routine


    Still need to

    degrot kitchen
    pick up bits in hallway
    declutter desk
    Sort WM for tomorrow morning's load

    Feeling reasonably happy with that :) Tea is sorted (quiche and salad so needs no real prep)

    ETA: Going to go with another HHC at 7.15 (baby grumpyness permitting but he seems happy enough to follow me around in his walker for now

    For anyone thinking about getting chickens, look here:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIfu21b2pT0&feature=feedlik

    and please pass on to anyone else who might be interested


    I have rescue chickens and within a short space of time they look totally different from when you get them. I got tearful when I watched them come out the coop for the first time to scratch around in the garden they didnt know what to do and kept running back to the back of the coop.
