  • Yesterday sounds a delight. Sorry to hear the girls woke you up. Was it you or someone else who played classical music to their chooks?

    Take care, Tilly x x

  • No such luck Kate and Greying - at 06:45 there was "I-want-to-lay-a-egg-but-there's-another-chook-doing-the-deed-and-I-refuse-to-share-the-nestbox" squawking from Miss Effie... so I've done my ironing for the week (normally I'm a dry it on a hanger, iron as required person)

    Not me Tilly - is it Hbbb that plays classical music or does she sing to her chickens?

    :wave: Cath - I read All You Need Is Love by Carole Matthews - easy reading chicklit and I even laughed out loud a couple of times :)

    Plan for today:

    - Grocery shopping (I have another £7.50 off if you spend £50 Sainsbury's coupon)
    - Mow the lawn (I did the edges and the bank by hand yesterday so now I just need to finish it off)
    - RSVP to an invitation
    - Pay car tax
    - Research car insurance

    Sorry to hear that - I've realised that lack of sleep is one of the most debilitating things there is. Hope its better tonight.

  • Me too - I plan to be in bed by 9 :)
    I need one good nights sleep before Mr MWC comes home and I have to put up with his reading in bed/tossing & turning/jet lag!

    After reading the weather forecast on Tilly's thread, I thought I had better prioritise mowing the lawn... just finished as it started to rain :T

  • I was in bed by 21:10 and asleep by 21:11 :)
    Just as well because the noisy little madams woke me up 40 minutes before the alarm clock this morning :mad:

    Mr MWC is home today :j
    And he has bought me a pair of my favourite Eddie Bauer curvy fit jeans :kisses3:

    I might as well head into the office early - the sooner I get there, the sooner I can come home!

  • Have a lovely evening :)

    Maybe the girls are trying to get you home early today.

    Best wishes Tilly x x
