    GG & Tilly, I'm wondering if I've diddled you out of a few eggs and the recent eggs I've been attributing to Miss Q are in fact from Miss LRH ??? They are bigger than I would expect from Miss LRH to start with but I'm not 100% convinced they're Miss Q's - I'll try to catch one of them in the act over the weekend :)

    What a lovely Miss LRH, she is happy for Miss Q to have the credit for her work :T

    She has respect for her elders! Miss Q is the last of my original girls and is getting on for 5.5 years old :)

    They're just letting Miss LRH have the limelight for a while... once they start laying their beautiful blue eggs it'll be Little Miss Who? :rotfl:

    I'm home alone this weekend :D Mr MWC has returned to his homeland as he has a ticket for the rugby tomorrow. He did ask me if I wanted to go but I'm English, why would I want to watch Wales beat Scotland???!!!

    Quiet & unassuming, just like her aunties :D.

    I have a 3 hour appointment at a beauty salon this afternoon (yes, I've let myself go a bit recently :rotfl:)

    I have £75 gift voucher that I will be spending on a 1.5h relaxing indulgence facial (includes a back + shoulder massage) and a 1h deluxe manicure :D

    And I will be spending my own money on a 1/2 leg wax before the nice treatments start!

    But first I need to clean the kitchen floor as the man from the water company will need to lay on it to read the water meter this morning. I normally have to provide a torch and a mirror as well!!! I have no idea why 1) it wasn't installed outside and 2) it was installed in the corner of the kitchen with no thought to where the kitchen cupboards/appliances would be.
