    Hope you have a nice time at the seaside pigpen.

    Charlie has fresh water and seed, and having chirped and taken an active interest in my flying this morning....he probably wonders what I'm doing :o never having seen such activity before :rotfl::o he is now studiously avoiding looking at me, preening his feathers and giving a good impression of 'how very dare you touch my cage?' aggravation :rotfl:ermmm to feed you, you daft bird lol

    Chargers are in drawer - bet I can't find them next time I want them as they are where they're supposed to be :eek:

    Bird seed etc unpacked and put away

    Have also put empty bird seed box in bin, picked up 3 empty carrier bags and put away????, relocated laptray from LR floor into kitchen where it lives with other laptrays! and put Mt T invoices with other paperwork waiting to be sorted.

    Such tiny baby steps but I can already see a difference as small dots of floor appear :T

    Next I'm going to empty & reload WM
    Hang out 1st load - not sure what weather forecast is, tis dull but breezy at the mo; not going anywhere so I can keep an eye out for any wet stuff.
    Gather all piles of clean laundry scattered about and take upstairs

    then I think I deserve a :coffee:

    Hi all; GWS vibes for all who need them; specially hope ionafan and CY have ditched their respective migraines.

    Mummyof5.. DD1 said to tell baby D thank you for wanting little Sammy better and that she is giving him lots of cuddles. He was watching Kung Fu Panda 2 today and is getting rid of his nose tube tomorrow we hope so he will be back home with his huuuge doggy very soon :D. He has been taking his medicine from the doctor even though it tastes a bit nasty and he has been very brave.
    Ooh, nose tube gone vibes for Samuel, then.:o As a fashion accessory, it kinda sucks.:D

    I've virtually emptied the washing bin - 1 WM load of bedlinen, 1 load of Mr LW's jeans, and a 3rd load of other assorted work clothes (shirts, chinos style of thing).;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Advantage!! It has just been taken off prescription. It is they only thing I have found that works and given I have 2 with flea allergy we have to be very on the ball with it.. we have had none in the house alive this year! I check a few places online and quidco cashback too.. petmeds or vetuk are the ones I usually buy from.

    My delivery today was from medicanimal

    Or Costc0 sell it too x
    Thanks both. Costco is too far away for a special trip but I might pop in after work sometime. In the interim I shall get it 'off online'

    Valli 'Mum, where did you get XXX?'
    Valli's Mum 'I got it off online':rotfl:

    WM 2 out. also baby's bib which has blown in from next door - me thinks GrandmaNextDoor (baby George's Grandma, not mine) has run out of pegs, it was hung on the fence and blew in. I did shout - I will spot them later.

    WM3 on - at 60 degrees.

    The Plan.

    I am going to vacuum thoroughly all upstairs (while changing beds etc; dust DS's room (because it's minging) and fling the hooverbag in the bin. Although nothing would be alive in there as there is carpet powder in there, as DD treats her carpet frequently. And I am going to use 1001 on the mucky patch upstairs.

    Ionafan
    - try Wilko's ant killer - I will upload a picture later if you want; it does for any crawling insects and I used it with a baby/toddler in the house and a cat. And it's invisible once it dries, unlike ant powder.

    been in ExHubby's house to admire a SEVEN WEEK OLD WEST HIGHLAND TERRIER - the cutest thing.

    Me again sorry to be a pain to anyone reading the thread :o but it's working for me 'cause I'm flying!!!... well, fluttering anyway.

    2nd load in WM
    Was just about to hang out 1st load when big fat raindrops splattered me - hmmmm to hang or not to hang.....decided to put clothes on airer which I can then whip in and out between showers if needs be....still in at mo as drizzling, and soooooo hot (or is that just me? :o )
    Clean laundry now in 2 piles his (DS) HUGE and hers (me) tiny ready to go upstairs. I seriously think DS just bought new clothes when he ran out of clean togs in between visits home with washing from Uni :rotfl:He says he used the laundry there, but he has sooo many clothes - still he managed his money well, so I can't really grouch at him ;)
    Will take clothes up when I next make a trip upstairs ...did I mention I'm HOT!!!! :D

    Now where's that :coffee: aaaahhhhhh. join me anyone?

    xx
    Charlie is now asleep with his head under his wing, but still making small noises of irritation. Aw can budgies have bad dreams??

    And Valli a lickle tiny dog...awwww i love lickle tiny dogs.
