Today as expected was a nightmare, but productive. It's so hard flipping from one project to another without time to think between!
But it's done now, and today was my Friday
I really need to spend tomorrow cleaning. The house looks really grotty at the moment, I'm not sure why. There just seems to be dirt and dust everywhere all of a sudden! I want to carry on in the garden as well. I've put lots of the edging in and it makes it look so much neater!
DH has sold a few items today, and I've sold one as well, so that's all good too

I forgot, a funny thing happened last night. We were woken about 3.40am by a really loud screeching noise in the road. I got up to see what was going on, and it sounded like a dog was out there. Eventually a fox appeared. I kept watching it, and every so often a cub jumped over the wall in our garden and followed it! There were 3 cubs in the end. It was very cool to see, but I was panicking about our cat as she was out in the garden overnight and I was worried the fox was attacking her.
I went down and opened the front door, and she hurtled in. I think she must have been hiding under the cars. She did then think it was breakfast time, so clearly wasn't too traumatised

Foxes can be incredibly noisy. We have quite a few round here. I dont think they usually bother cats as the cats will just run in fact a few months ago DH saw a cat and a fox lying down together.

Nice in a way to see a fox and their cubs - but not good if they come in your garden regularly. They can make a mess! Glad your cat was safe.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Yes, our old dog used to love a good roll in fox poo! We had one in the house the other year! I've never really seen them though.savingholmes said:Nice in a way to see a fox and their cubs - but not good if they come in your garden regularly. They can make a mess!

I'm on a cleaning mission today to try and get this house looking better!
Little jwil has gone up a level at swimming so his new lesson is later, it will be good to reclaim some of our Saturday.
