Lots of activcity on bird feeders today, so have been identifying new/irregular visitors. Still no sign of any goldfinches though....
It actually appears to be getting a wee bit brighter out there, walk in a bit perhaps?
Geoff- I know about stuff! Have couple of large boxes for the charity- need to phone them this week for a collection. Spare room still to be done, but when daughter goes- wow, shall have space! But also the gardening will have started....... cant go up now as she's asleep. Only a few more nightshifts to go, ever! J.
Thanks Jo, I lost track there. I have a dog like that, I sympathise!
Kate I will either be watching Iron Lady or OH will record it for me. It's a film I've wanted to see for a while. And on the topic of sickies, I had one for finishing some panto costumes once and another for attending a belly-dance workshop with a visiting American performer. That one was really nerve-wracking as I had to go into town and was terrified I would be spotted by parents of my students. Those were the only non-genuine ones in 37 years. There were a few 'touch and go' ones where I was a bit poorly but could have gone in and plenty of times when I was feeling grim but went in anyway - as many teachers do because it's more hassle sorting out the mayhem left after a supply teacher
I was feeling below par on Friday so I texted my boss at 6am to ask to take the day off as annual leave. You have to jump through so many hoops to take a sick day that it is easier to take them as leave.
Lots of birds on my feeders this morning. Am thinking about nipping along to the garden centre to use my token for a free pot of tea.
House situation 'on hold' till further report been received, nights all done, exam all done......
Seriously once she vacates her room- biggest- with a dry, ie not on outside wall, huge, built-in wardrobe- I shall have space to do the sorting of my/Dad's/Mum's stuff. I cant even get at the part of that wardrobe which I know has our stuff in it- all rubbish by now so that can all go!
When I cleared parents' house, lots of things came back here. Time moves on & am quite ready to get rid of loads.
We know that in the not too distant future we shall move, so any sorting now will help. The loft got done a couple of yrs back so actually not so bad. Lots of things up there are daughter's anyway! J.

Afternoon lovelies.
Terrible night's sleep, or lack of should I say. Had intended to get up early, but it just never happened.
Me and Hubbie gave conservatory a good bottoming
That sounds quite painful Jean!!

No Jo-you will not have space-you will using for a dumping ground-you know you will

Flo I once worked in an office and regularly took 'don't speak to me like that' sickies.
Did anyone ever take a half days leave by going in at lunchtime so they could have a lie in??-I did- it is a rubbish idea
Going to Watch Honey I Shrunk the Kids now

I've been watching 'The Hoarder next door' on catch up.
Some of their houses are shocking!
I was worried about turning into a candidate for that programme so before Christmas I got rid of three years of old gardening magazines.
