    Lovely to meet you all yesterday....no you didn't scare me off at all....I was sorry I had to leave when I did ! What happened in Boots then ? I need to know as it's my local...lol
    well........ we went armed with our 200 hair care coupons and I had a tenna lady one, you know for them ones my mum didn't want :rotfl: anyway we all chose our shampoos but I picked up baby shampoo, surprise surprise I hear you say but its for bathing the dog :eek: haha. Anyway I now realise that it doesn't work on baby products although its not listed under the doesn't include section. So the lady went off to check which gave me the opportunity to dish out some boots magazine's. I was encouraged by BQ I have to say. Well I offered them to everyone in the rather long queue and they all just looked at me a bit shocked :rotfl: oh the worst bit was which nearly tipped the sa over the edge was I sprayed the Marc Jacobs daisy into the air as its one of my favourites but I wasn't that keen to be honest. Anyway as i was reaching for the baby shampoo to put it in my bag i knocked the perfume off the counter :eek::eek::eek: thank the lord it hit my bag and shot into the basket under the counter avoiding the floor! And it was the same sa from last time when i did a little exchange, somehow i think she may remember me next time :rotfl:
    Such a shame that A - the big bird watch didn't start today and B im nit registered to take part because this afternoon there was a green woodpecker in my garden :D where he came from I have no idea but what a lovely looking bird!

    Asbo cat had gone to bed by then but if she'd have seen it, she would have run away anyway, it was as big as her :rotfl:
    Wow they are amazing birds aren't they. Was it on your lawn because they eat worms.

    oooh are you sharing your pictures :D if you wanted to register for the big garden birdwatch you could still do it on line.
    Yesterday I was watching robin's, blackbirds, goldfinches, chaffinches, doves, a woodpigeon, blue & great tits, a wren....you name it it was there....unless you say woodpecker..... tomorrow morning when I do my hour I can guarantee there'll be nothing but dunnocks :rotfl:
  • Good morning all, a lot milder here today :)

    We don't get much very interesting in our garden birdwise, tends to be blackbirds, wrens and pigeons. We have had the occasional woodpecker, we get a jay early in the morning (they love fatballs) and we get the odd song thrush and a few goldfinches. I think our main problem is that we live very close to woodland etc so they have plenty of other places to go. That and the neighbourhood cats :eek:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Oooh that's gorgeous.....reminds me of the elusive Marksies boots which were on their page just before Christmas. They were instantly sold out and I've yet to see a pair in store:o They were gorgeous too....why didn't they make more of them?
