    Sounds like a sensible decision to me.

    I was looking at the bird boxes in B&M and thought of you. I get a lot of small pleasure out of watching the birds, feeding them is money well spent.

    Poor pigeon :(

    Pleased to hear your're going out for a shopping trip and have plans for your bonus. You'll have to let us know what you bought.

    Don't get me started on cyclists riding on pavements! I know cycling is environmentally friendly, healthy and a cheap form of transport, but some of the goons that ride about in London have to be seen to be believed! They seem to think they are four years old and have a right to the pavements - unfortunately they're not and the culprits are always young fit blokes who seem to ride as fast as a motorbike! A couple of months ago I saw one cyclist cut up a black cab - and then actually fell off! Big mistake in London sometimes to do things like that to black cab drivers! This one actually got out of his cab and threw the bike across the road! I had to smile.....

    Good idea to stay close to home today and get your jobs done SA.

    SSG last time I was in London I thought the cyclists were quite scary. Having been run over on a zebra crossing by a speeding cyclist I'm not a big fan. Why do they think they can cycle on pavements and through red lights on pedestrian crossings. Yet again it's the idiots that give cyclists a bad press.
