Having seen the news this morning wonder if you’ve had snow? 

Nice work on sharing a flapjack to celebrate! Glad you’ve managed to get the lump sum so quickly, looking forward to hearing it being put to good use on the homestead.

Thank you lovely people

Well cheerful things are coming as thick and fast as some of our recent snow flurries here. Mr Cheery spotted someone giving away a garden shredder on an online site and we arranged to pick it up this morning - yay! 

But even more YAY! because when we got there, they were moving house, and were trying to get rid of various other things too, quite desperately. We ended up taking a plastic chest of drawers and a load of wood - and they had so much other stuff they were just slinging into a skip (and really didn't want to) that we arranged to go back after lunch with both cars, and ended up with a roof for the chicken run, a load of wood, and assorted metal fixings, a shelving unit for the garage, and a strimmer (!) The guy got into the skip and started pulling stuff back out to give to us, and the lovely woman made us tea (we took them a cake when we went back the second time). 

So now they have an empty skip and we have even more stuff than we did before....

I should say that it will all be put to good use and VERY much appreciated. We refused a couple of things that we knew we couldn't use, but they didn't really want anything to go to landfill and were in the last desperate days of moving house (which I remember so vividly...)

Everything will be well used even if it sits around for a few months with us falling over it in the meantime...

In case you think my life is all glamour, we just spent 20 minutes clearing evidence of mouse activity off the worktop in the temporary kitchen...

Rock and roll I tell you...

Mouse eviction starts in earnest tomorrow. I don't mind the little critters running about in the loft, or catching the occasional glimpse scuttling out of sight in the middle of the night, but this is a bit much even for me. We got rid of them when we moved in and we'll do it again!

(Not tonight though... tired now.... March is Mouse Eviction Month!)
