We had a crow... it broke out of the fireplace and flapped around the house knocking ornaments aside and someone called the police as the house was empty so we thought there'd been a break in!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Another £48 spent on pigeon rescue. It flew straight off so none the worse for its ordeal. He’s booked me in for the chimney cowl early October. Finally Mr SA agrees we need one.The work IT issues have only just been fixed. Fortunately it’s not a busy day for me. Finishing in an hour to have my nails done.I’ll certainly be ready for a large gin tonight.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

They are daft, we can see a garage roof from our kitchen which they like to perch on. They regularly slide/fall down it and land in the gutter scrabbling upright. I think they doze off and fall over. There is one which likes to sit in our bird bath, not drink or bathe just sit there for ages. Not convinced its noticed the water.
You are good to save one though, I would do the same.6 -
Sat in the beauty salon having my nails done when the beautician said there’s a strange man staring in the window. Looked round and it was Mr SA. For goodness sake 😠 Told him off because I was hoping to have a wander round the shops afterwards and he’d brought the dog. Honestly he’s like a stalker at times.Had a nice chat with a neighbour on the way home, she’s lived across the road from me for 2 years and this is only the second time we’ve spoken.Really pleased with my nails went for neon pink with one nail gold glitter, fancied something really bling and OTT and that’s what I got 😆 Feel like going on holiday now.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

He always uses the excuse it’s the dog who wants to come and meet me. He even knocked on the window at one stage. I couldn’t turn and look because I was having my nails done.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3
