    Sounds like Babs has got a lovely new home, and great that you can pass on the henhouse and coop as well

    I love it that Babs has bossed the cockerel about already!  She sounds like she will be happy with her new girlfriends!  Good too that her new owner will have the run and kennel and save you having to think of how to get rid of them. 👍

    Quite a full week coming up, then!

    I'm glad Babs seems to have got off to a good start (I nearly said 'flying', but hopefully not). It's nice you were able to help the lady out with chicken accommodation, and that that helps you as well.
    Yes I feel tired just thinking about it 😀, there’s no danger of Babs flying anywhere she’s too heavy to get off the ground, although she is named after one of the chickens from chicken run so you never know 😀

    Just catching up, yay on the ESA but annoyed for you that it's not the one where you can just be off work without needing sick notes. Also shocked at the dr, he's not very empathetic to you considering he should understand how badly it must be affecting you.

    Aw I hope Babs loves her new friends and home. I miss my chickens. I had a really friendly one called Hetty and she was my bestie till she passed. 

    I also hope the deep clean and new sofa innards will help you 🤞🏻♥️. I have allergies and bought a new to me sofa from the CS last month, I gave it a deep clean with a rug dr machine and it's been fine for me. 
    Hope you have a good week, it looks like a busy one ☺️.
    Thanks it’s very frustrating ☹️ 

    Hetty is lovely chicken name, I’ve had a few really friendly ones over the years. My first lot of rescue battery hens would all take turns to sit on my lap 🙂
