    :Tnatty your garden sounds like a nature haven

    mrs -moneypenny It's only a regular sized garden too with ordinary plants and weeds, and you wouldn't think I had two cats and two dogs with the amount of wildlife that appears in our garden. Makes me wonder what is so lovely about it, we even have a hairy cat that comes and stays there during the day come rain or shine - he just finds somewhere to sit out of the rain. Then goes home at night.. Even being chased by the younger dog doesn't deter him..lol

    We have a slow worm that lives here too, but she is only out in the summer. :D

    Not a very productive afternoon here, I'm afraid. I fed everyone at lunch time, then had a bath, took DS1 to work (not a regular thing, but saves him over an hour in travel time), did a quick shop at Mr M's and went to the farm to buy eggs.

    Time to start tea now and see what else I can motivate myself to do.

    Evening all

    Pleased with the amount of flying I've achieved today. Just waiting for my dinner to finish and then I need to set WM and do some ironing. Neighbour has been burning garden rubbish all day so no hope of outside drying despite quite a nice day.

    Natty, lovely to hear your feathered friends are returning to the fold, just like you.

    Dancemum, you should be able to freeze chilli. I do with bolognese all the time.

    Well, I collected the tots at 5pm and it was dark. They were much confused. DS had another accident form. Even the staff said he is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. A bump to the head today.

    I've had a quiet evening with a magazine, and a shower, now bed, for an early start tomorrow.

    Spent a lot of time trying to board out under the stairs again today and mixing filler to fill the drill holes and gaps, and hoovering copious

    DS has been out of sorts for a few weeks since I had to take him on a long drive to sort out probate for my Dad, he was late going down for his nap today in my bed and decided today would be a great day to wee in my bed :mad::mad::mad:

    So not only did I have to strip off the bed, bedding and duvets, I had to crack out the V@x machine to wash the mattress. Sooo glad I had freshened up all the spare mattress protectors, sheets and duvets and stuff them in the stripey laundry bags last week :D:D:D

    I have some DIY help tomorrow to try to get my downstairs loo back on line before flybaby arrives as I am getting the size of a house now, but not sure how much I will get done as I have a hospital appointment, but I will check in before bedtime to report on any small victories.:)

    Night night flyladies and flygents
    The cold never bothered me anyway
