:rotfl: :rotfl: Gallygirl is quite right - I was wishing I still had my fairy cake for lunch - or another one!

Morning all

...but think how fairy like you'll be as you've only had one fairy cake! Had you had two your wings might have struggled a bit!

Morning Cheery!

Morning all!

I hope you're well - I've been majorly cleaning up puppy puddles and trying to tidy for the biological one who's arriving tomorrow.

Hope you're all well

Yesterday - hmm couple hours gardneing (planted 30m hedge)
Cleaned up a bit at womble HQ
Wrote a gift aid thingmy and started to declutter our container.
Did a bit of biodiversity work in the evening for a chum which might earn me a bit of local pork which will be lovely. Happy to be able to help her!

Today - more womble/gardening - concert for DD in the evening and so I've also a meeting - (such fun) and need pick up my shredder if I remember.

I've a million other things to do but for now thats it.

Tea is cooking (mince and tatties - soya mince chucked in with the beef mince when browning to stretch it out)

I think Mr F comes back up here tomorrow too - kidlets fly on Sunday to Dads via Granny Mainland.

Aside all of that - not much happenning!



Cuppa and more to do - perhaps a dishwasher to empty unless anyone wants to lend a hand...........

Oh and I must put up pictures of the new chooks.

Pippi - Is haggis paper trained or anything? Or are you taking him out regularly enough? Once I realised that cleaning up with kitchen roll was a game for Rodders and put him in the kitchen or garden while I cleaned up he stopped toileting in the house!

:eek: To your mother visiting so regularly :rotfl:

The first statement is brilliant - I have never heard Cheery ask for no more cake!

The second - um 8wks and lived in a byre until Saturday at 5pm - he needed a good scrub when he came home and no he's not trained.

We've been standing out int he howling rain with him regularly and in the nice days when I put the washing out after he got over how utterly giddy he was to see me, he did eventually managed a P**P and a Pee - so I'm doing that and we're going back to the same spot. The garden is huge and walking him does no good as thats also far too exciting, so he appears to prefer the washing area of the garden which is fine.

He appears to need to abait his excitement a little and do his abultions outdoors.

In the house he's favouring an area of the kitchen by the bin (which now has newspaper down) and appears to use it when he's caught short

Aside that - no he appears not to be trained but I put him outside when I clean up - although I feel sorry for him as he's often mobbed by hens who hes very scared off as they are giants to him.

Early days.

I walked him down the entire length of the track several times and he's not pee'd once - its far to exciting this life here with us it would appear.

I keep telling him to calm down dear, we're not going anywhere!

Early days.

When we're not here he's in his pen with paper down too.

Any advice gladly given. With Peedie it just took a wee while and he got the hang of it.

Morning Pippi - you still are sooo busy:D

I am afraid my attendance is a bit intermittent but

I have a morning at home and I am going to savour it.

I have dishes that could probably crawl to the dishwasher on their own.
Then I have paperwork, oh boy do I have paperwork.

Then I am going forth into the loft, we have an Eco thing going on with Guides and Scouts so I am going to have a clear out in my loft and donate my collection of.... well rubbish Old proverb one mans rubbish is another mans treasure????

Phone has already been ringing. Trouble with a mobile phone people always know where you are

I think a cuppa may be in order

Morning all. Lovely chat going on here already.

Cheery re your fairy cake dilemma. I do that with chocolate. I eat it then later on I really fancy chocolate and realising I've eaten it think "I wish I hadn't eaten it then. I could have saved it" yeah right as if!!!

DD and I are getting haircuts after school. Very badly needed but no funds til now. Then tomorrow I have promised I will take her to get some ballet shoes for her recital on Sunday. Shoes plus leotard plus tutu = the best part of £30 gone :eek: at least my princess is worth it

Passes SFRD a cuppa - switches her phone off.

I often let mine go flat - whats the worst that can happen for half an hour.

We have the expression bruck up here and the lassie that previously worked in my post had a great event called 'Bruck to Bling'

One mans bruck as you put it being anothers treasure!

I hope you get to rampage through your paperwork - I like to think of it as rampaging! That way its slightly (only slightly) more fun.

My dishes also crawled to the dishwasher on their own and the big huge cover for the spare room is now a twirling having a hokeycokey to itself.

Kitchen almost apparent...........I can see a couple of hte sides anyway.
Thats progress of sorts


I appear to be getting into an 'tidy up early' routine and then go work hard.



Kettle firmly on - the stove - not me obvously!

And Chev lovely to see you pop by = not done a money update in ages - must do that

AND TAX THE CAR!

Starnac - enjoy the haircuts - you deserve it and I'm sure DD will look amazing!

I've just agreed for mine to go on an art and design trip to new york......

Its in a year and we can pay it off and hopefully her dad will contribute.

There goes a pig

And I know - whatever happenned to a day trip to the seaside.

She'll be fundraising too and saving up her own money.

But - sheesh.
