Morning all
Stayed up late to get some more Governing work done so what is left feels more manageable, I'll do another chunk this morning.
Working mainly on my leftovers from last week this morning and going shopping with DS2 later for shoes and traines - fun not.
Oh new bird on my feeder - need to check out what it is. Oh it is a Nuthatch which is very keen on sunflower seeds and very hungry, my flock of great and blue tits are being very accommodating.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

Dusty, my dad lives in the middle of blimmin' nowhere and has nuthatches in his garden; he loves to watch them, I think they're lots of fun and mischief. Enjoy
I have emptied the airer of all yesterday's washing, tidied the kitchen, WU the breakfast things and made sure the bathroom is presentable; I'm expecting the pensions man this afternoon but if his last visit is anything to go by, he'll be waiting for me when I get in from work. I don't want to be panicking about our biggie smalls hanging around the lounge again -- clean ones, I would hasten to add! :eek:

Skiinty, sorry to hear yesterday was so bad, he cant force you out and you shouldnt have to beg, i was on the assumption that if youhad children under 18 or still in education you could remain in 'the family home' please seek advice and dont be bullied into anything you arent happy with. we have a place in our town called helping hands its a volunteer run help and advice centre, do you have anything like that you can contact?
blitzed DS2s room already ths morning. found the ipad he borrowed off his mate under his bed. i know i should have made him look and tidy in the process but i had to find it as i wouldnt settle to anything else till it was. spent ages digging and bashing round the tree stump yesterday Dh was out there till 7.30. now thinking chemical stump killer may be the way to go as there are 12 to remover in total!!:mad: knitted the last of the pollen balls this morning - they now need stuffing and the hat and flower petals making should be finished in time.
