You can peel the money off the money tree or like the rest of us dream of winning the lotto
did not know how much the house was sounds like monopoly money to me.

Well aren't we a little ray of sunshine
I'm off to stay the night with a friend and tomorrow we are spending the day at a spa ... it's a tough life
I think we all need a break!
Batman and I spent the day in bed. Not as exciting as it sounds ( ) as he mostly snored and had dreams about playing football, and I mostly tried to read and not kill him. We're now up and not quite sure if we should go out to try and make something of the day, or stay put and give into this general slobodomness.

Dragged backup heaters out of storage and installed through key rooms in house.
Called our joiner friend to come and sort unit, which he did this morning. Took day off work. Rang heating guy as soon as chippie had gone. No reply, left a message. Rang again about half one. Left another message.No acknowledgement whatsoever.
Lost a day's pay, no idea when bloke is coming. Cold. Very, VERY grumpy. Bah.
Hugs to everyone, BTW - hope your day going better than mine!”

I've got a radiator leak downstairs. Nice wet patch on the carpet. So, I attacked it with a spanner and more water started to come out, as the nut had to be tightened anti-clockwise, rather than the usual clockwise. Hopefully problem sorted, but it'll need a couple of days to dry out before I can be sure.

Morning! Yesterday's slob-out has a price, and the abundance of paperwork looking at me from my desk is reminding me of that. Still, at least the weather is rubbish.
Open message to you. Please do not leave loads of polystyrene outside my house. Thanks to you, my landfill bin is half full just because of your litter crap, and unlike you I tidy up around the outside of my house, which I shouldn't have to do, if it weren't for tossers like you.

Monday...
Huggles to busy busy batty.
Hope at least your book was a good one!
jra - the polystyrene thing would have got me ranting too. As I drove out of the village on the back road yesterday I noticed someone had taken the trouble to drive out along it and dump a fridge and a pile of old tyres.
Number of tips within a ten-mile radius... three. FFS.
Night night, guys!

I've just seen a red kite in Luton of all places.
I couldn't see it that well as I hadn't got my glasses.

This is the first time I've ever seen one in my life.

Take a drive out to East Northants and you'll see loads. One of the small pleasures of being out and about with my job - used to see them on a daily basis. Have seen them locally too (North Beds) so they're definitely on the move.

I phoned up the RSPB and they said that at least one pair have been regularly spotted south of Bedford and also some in the Leighton Buzzard (or should I say Kite
) area.ETA. Tbh, I was quite gobsmacked to see this raptor today.

If you ever go to south Devon, look out for the Cirl Bunting, which I have seen.

I do like CDs. Something you can touch and handle, rather than just a file on your PC etc.
You get your CD, you click out the CD and play it, read the booklet/inserts etc.

Vibes.
And belated vibes to everybody else.

Hope I'm not too late with sending positive vibes... keeping my fingers crossed for good news for you!
Nothing much happening here. Some difficulties on the home front which might make staying here unpleasant, so will have to see how that pans out. Also work being a bit cranky about me being a single parent and the effect that has on my ability to work late. It's only really an issue at this time of year when the wet weather affects transport and deliveries are late. Life can be bloody awkward at times.
In less bleuaarrggh news, DestructoPup is becoming something of an escapologist and has now learned how to unzip herself from her crate. I'm not quite sure how she does it. I think it's someething to do with where the zips meet, so I've changed how I do it and see if that will keep her in.
