    Hey Wingo are you saying reading our posts sent you to sleep??? Shame on you :rotfl::rotfl:

    firefly - you are on fire this month! Well done on your lovely win, hope you have big cupboards. Glad Sheils was around to help you with the mags.

    Rae - glad you got your computer fixed and hope you manage to de-flea the cat.

    Softpad - glad you managed to spend time with your hens and relaxed a bit. You sound a double of me except I am probably yonks older. I am very shy and only have online friends and family as I hate going into places on my own. Have to do Jury service next week for two weeks and I am petrified but will be OK when I get there I expect.

    Steak pie sounds lovely Sheils, we have pork chops tonight.

    Must get on and finish tea.

    Circus tix, a book and a goody bag so far today. Just waiting to see if anyone horsey wants my spare blenheim ticket for next week.

    I love birds we have a lesser spotted woody that sometimes visits our p nut feeder also a huge family of long t tits that are regulars.

    You are def in the right place softpad with your love of birds :A

    ff and me are always twittering on about our feathered critters plus ff has a naughty squirrel (or 2) and also foxes :D

    i have foxes but they tend to stay out in the courtyard late at night -watch them from window with my wee cat. Plenty bats here at night too.

    My garden birds are safe cos puddy is a house cat - refuses to go out - she just likes to curtain twitch to have a good nose :D

    I see you have hens - how lovely. My mum and dad years ago kept lots and now my dd and son-in-law have got some girls of their own. Fascinating funny critters - absolute joy tho. xxxx:)

    firefly - I have a question for you :rotfl::rotfl: have you been feeding your blackberries to the birdies??? Put one of my best blouses on the line today and when I went to fetch it in a birdie had sh*t on it.
    When I ran it under cold water to try and get it out it went purple just like a blackberry stain :rotfl::rotfl:

    Stain Buster — Bird Droppings

    Fabric
    1. Pretreat or soak in warm water with a laundry product containing enzymes.
    2. Launder.
    3. If the stain remains, use an eye dropper to apply hydrogen peroxide, and then apply a drop or two of ammonia. Flush with water.
    4. Launder again.

    Birds and Berries
    If the bird droppings are dark like berry stains, treat them as a blueberry stain.

    Might be lucky for you SYLV - once upon a time ago, a bird shat on me and I won £1500 link bingo ! (about 30 yrs ago)

    F**F well done on ya juice.
    (I need tips on winning as paw luck here!)


    What shopping choices drive you mad? Here still undecided on the Eleccy Grill (portion/temp/removable plates/price etc.)
    Got posted a £20 catalogue code but not usable on sale items so not worth getting the grill there
