    Morning all. I'm in - or at least I will be this evening, when I get home from work. I plan to:

    Monday - Kitchen
    Clear and wipe the worksurfaces
    Shine your sink
    Wipe the hob and front of the oven

    Clean some shoes

    Plus do a batch of washing up. I always put it off as the sink is at the wrong height for me and always gives me backache after a few minutes - unfortunately that tends to mean that I end up with a sink full of dirty plates and no clean ones to eat off! :o

    froddington - definitely agree with Narc0lepsy - pics of your new cuties, please!
    Back after a very long break!

  • Just popping on to say I have done a 9km walk!!!


    Iona and Mrs M-P you are so right about the seedlings - I looked out of the back door last night and spotted two that are at least 20cm high!! I have two gardens to clear of weeds because next door has been empty for years and their weeds com into ours - fume fume!


    Just had to share that we have some lovely birds in the garden this year and I have not yet identified them - small with a yellowish breast and they dangle from the very ends of the birch tree's slimmest branches getting the insects. The other day I saw one with one wing fanned out so that it could balance itself properly. Beautiful! Now you all know why I don't get much flying done!!! LOL! Need to find binoculars from the car so I can look more carefully.


    Lovely day here - so hope you all have a good one. x

    I would guess either great tits or blue tits - both will be nesting at this time of year so they're probably catching food for their babies.

    Very well done on your long walk. :T

    We sometimes get goldfinches on the teasleheads backend time, they are lovely to watch.

    Sorted the recycling, done the washing up, texted step mum, phoned my mum and a quick phone call to DDs partner - he's doing the cleaning while DD and DGS sleep as he's got to go back to work tomorrow so he wants to try and get in front of jobs for her.
    Postie has been so post sorted.
    Going to grab a cuppa then do a HHC in the kitchen before work.

    Hi guys!

    Bit slow today. Have tidied and put dishwasher on. Made the bed and tidied my bedroom and thats it. Little lady (2) has been very demanding and wanting lots of attention. She spent 45 minutes "washing" me with water and soap LOL. Any way shes just had a nap on the sofa and is now "waking up" with cbeebies for a bit so i'm going to dip back into the kitchen and do some more hw and hot spots etc :)

    Sounds like great tits to me too. Got loads around my flowering bushes at the minute. They are proper cute little things!
