    Morning Lovelies!

    Strange mix of MSE/Non MSE day yesterday.

    Went to travel agents armed with Mhoc's advice and an itenery off the website. Wanted to ask some questions about cruising. The SA was very impressed with the price, couldn't beat it, but matched it. So, I was mid flow of saying ,'Thank you v much we will have a think about it'.........and DH said......'Let's just book it!'..........Woo Hooo! cruising around the Med this summer!

    Popped in to Homebase on the way home and bought up all the seed potatoes reduced to 50p.

    Veg patch is growing a nice crop of nettles, but DF came over to help de nettle, and we had a bonfire last night so todays job can be digging the potatoes in. It is the only veg I manage to grow, apart from lettuce in boxes on the patio.

    I made some dog biscuits and washing 'Gloop' too, just to complete the 'Good Life' theme.

    DD was saying the other day that she can't understand why we are not 'rolling in it' with all my money saving efforts. Me neither!

    Before I start this conversation ...boys please remember I am talking about birds

    I have two nests of birds in my garden 1 pair of grey tits and one pair of cold tits

    The grey tits are in a nesting box but the cold tits are in a garden urn

    It is fantastic watching them fly onto lip of the urn look round then fly down into the

    urn its amazing how they go and come all day long .... Does anyone know whether I

    should tip urn on its side when chicks are ready to fly the nest ...or leave me cold tits

    well alone. ...cold shower for the Dave's and nerfy

    If I were you I'd leave it alone. I was told that if mummy or daddy bird sense interference there's a possibility they will abandon the babies and not return to the nest in order to protect themselves from danger.

    Good morning all, the sun is shining and the washing is out :D

    Thank you all for your suggestions last night. I have been in touch with the solicitors dealing with my father's will, and I have asked what happens now if I can find proof. I am currently unsure of the timescales, if there is enough time we will probably send a request for information to the bank, although we swapped accounts in 1994 so unsure what they will still have on record?

    To be honest I was quite surprised to end up with anything.

    As I said, I really do not care about the money, it's not as if I am losing anything, I simply am not gaining that part. What annoys me is that my ex brother could think I would stoop that low when it was the b**** that did the stooping. But I woke up this morning feeling lighter having decided not to let it get to me.

    I am really so grateful to have somewhere to talk it out so to speak, it did help me sort things out in my head.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Good morning.

    Well that's annoying. I finally got round to entering the Kelloggs Tip N Sip Codes for my free bowls for Little Anons and I was one code short. I hate it when that happens but fortunately now resolved :A.

    They were probably in the same place that the "Try Me Free" flash off the Birds Eye pasta have ended up with Mrs Anon finding my "safe place" while tidying up ... why would they be there if I didn't want them?!
