  • Great news about the long-service award, well done!

    It may be worth biding your time a little unless there's something you really fall for. I'm just thinking the January sales are not that far away, though judging by the shops in the city today, there are quite a few sales on already.

    Thanks Cherry,I was thinking I might wait for the January salesim not in a rush to spend it,it's just a nice little bonus to take to Bristol in case I do see something I like

    Ps ........I bought the book :rotfl::eek:

    And I'm done:j
    Got my last bits in town today so all finished now,I walked into town because I came out of my house just in time to see the bus sailing by,I never check the time when I leave so quite often endnup missing the bus,I really need to take more notice of the timetable

    Town was manic today and very cold,I had to go into wilkoosss to get sawdust for the chickens and the queues were ridiculous,I was glad to get in and get home again

    I've spent the afternoon pottering round at home,I cleaned the chickens out and Babs who is moulting looks very sorry for herself,they always moult when the weather is cold ,she currently looks like a badly stuffed pillow crossed with a porcupine ,I'm hoping she gets through it ok as it's quite easy for them to get ill and not survive when they moult,she is already off her food a bit, I've given them warm mash and lots of corn today and that should warm them up overnight while they digest it hopefully

    I've also got some washing done today but not much else

    I'm just contemplating taking the dog out for her evening walk but it's really cold and I don't want to :(

  • Hmmmmm not feeling too good tonight so I'm in bed early,my joints are aching and I feel really tired,my hands have been hurting for a few days now with stabbing pains in my fingers,I thought it might wear off but it hasn't yet
    Hopefully it will have improved by Saturday or I'm going to be in trouble walking round Bristol all day:eek:
    I've stocked up on painkillers just in case,I've just got the clothes ready that I'm wearing/ taking with me as I won't feel like it when I get home from work tomorrow night,im not taking much seeing as we are only staying overnight
    Just one more 12 hour shift to get through at work and I have a week off,I am sooooo ready for this week off I can't wait :j

    So do I,she was out in the garden today but looked a bit sad,all her tail feathers have dropped out so her bum is a bit bare then she is all fluffy in the middle and on her face but has a bare neck,she has got lots of new feathers growing though so hopefully she will have finished moulting before the really cold weather arrives
