Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I had a windfall, literally. I found a £5 note in a bush in the garden. Have checked with Becky who is the only other person who has been on premises lately, just on case it blew over from the mini horse yard, and she says it's not hers. I also found a missing shoe in the bushes but we all know how that got there! All the rats which had invaded my place and my nice neighbour's yard have left the premises, the last one in the jaws of next door but one's ginger tom. Between puss, Wispa and the neighbour who trapped 4 of them, the place has been made ratless at least for now. Very cute pup, griff Pity I don't live nearer to Sam, i discovered a huge stash of black bags in the shed. must be a thousand of them. congratulations on your windfall don't spend it all at once 1000 bags would last me about a week I think ! For those following James' story, I've just heard that the surgery went well. The next 72 hours is crucial to establish if all the transplanted tissue of various types is viable. Glad he has this stage behind him & really hope there are no complications now. good to hear , fingers crossed the next 72 hours go well myrtle, a film I have seen recently and enjoyed was the best exotic marigold hotel. I also love the holiday, castaway, Forrest gump. I have also enjoyed the iron lady - I wasn't too keen on watching it, but it was great. I love Marigold Hotel , Skyfall is fantastic and Life of Pi is beautiful but I don't know I fully understood it Now if you want a giggle you need to explore Bollywood and nothing is a better start than Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Forgot to say, when I got home today there was a pink envelope on my door mat. For a split second I thought it may have been a valentines card (although who from I had no idea!). Anyway, it was a birthday card for the previous owners I bought my house in 2008 and still get loads of birthday and Christmas cards for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Moaning We have just watched Ted. Was funny!Can anyone suggest any good films to watch as we have a love film account for the next 4 months but I am hopeless on knowing any films to watch!!xxx Snow White and the Huntsman For those following James' story, I've just heard that the surgery went well. The next 72 hours is crucial to establish if all the transplanted tissue of various types is viable. Glad he has this stage behind him & really hope there are no complications now. Glad the surgery went well and fingers crossed for no complications Sat through a day of supplier presentations yesterday, starting at 8 am. It was tiring Today I have to walk the dogs then go to the sorting office to collect some plants (hope they are still alive as they've been there for a few days). Then I have to take apart and put back together a console table I bought and assembled without reading the instructions, so I missed a couple of bits off to hold the drawer up I am also going to assemble a new bird feeder and two bird baths which I am also going to use as feeders, plus clear away the debris from where part of the pergola collapsed. I took most of it down but need to get rid of all the Wisteria prunings which had to come down with it. Max is no better yet, although he does now have runny poos.

Jazz Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 ive done 2 lots of washing, done the dishwasher, sorted out the dogs pills, thrown away the old stuff, and sorted out the dog food and treats is it bed time yet? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizzie Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 The birdtable and birdfeeder have gone from next door. Can only assume they have seen the visiting rats for themselves & decided to stop feeding them. We didn't say anything & rather enjoyed watching rats shin up & slide back down again.

merledogs Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Funnily enough I have just erected another bird feeding station. The birds now have two of these plus a couple of hanging bird baths which I use as feeders, plus another hanging saucer thing and a fat ball hanger. Spoilt b@stards I've also taken apart and put back together the console table and walked the dogs and been to the sorting office. It wasn't the plants as I expected, but they are supposed to have been posted last Monday so dawg knows what state they will be in if/when they arrive. Am now having lemon drizzle cake.

griff Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 yum yum Cake!!!!! i agree about the exotic marigold hotel, a very good film... even my dad sat and watched it (he just watches action films and cowboy films) he said he would never have picked it up to watch it himself but thought it was a very good film. we have mice in the garden who come and clean up the spilt bird seed, my rule is as long as they stay outside it is fine...venture inside the house and it is war!!! well done on the wind fall Owl.... i wouldn't mind a little windfall i must say you have all been busy this morning, i have not long got up!!

merledogs Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 It's been a lovely day here weather-wise. Ruddy washing machine has gone on the blink It's not drawing water into the machine for some reason. It finished one wash and then refused to work for the next one.

Jacobean Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 It could be clogged up with hair Alex. Hope it's a simple job Hope Max is better by tomorrow Hope Laney's paw heals well quickly. Have been to see Dad. Otherwise has been a non eventful day. Got to do my daily revision in a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hope your washing machine is easy to mend Alex and that Max feels better soon Hope Laney's paw is looking better soon Griff I am not sure what is up with me at the moment - usually on a Saturday, we have an Indian takeaway, but for the last few weeks, I haven't enjoyed it at all When dad phoned up before to see if I wanted a takeaway and I said no, I would sort something else out, he seemed a bit put out I am not sure what to have now, as I seem to have gone off unhealthy food recently, which is no good for a Saturday night takeaway night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hope both Laney and Mac feel better soon. There used to be lots of voles and long-tailed field mice who ate seed dropped from the bird feeders. I like them and Wispa doesn't bother chasing them, but the rats took over and drove all the little rodents out. Hope they will come back now. I am afraid I did spend my windfall all at once. Emergency transport run to Grimsby, and I got very hungry on the way back. Stopped and had a bar meal at a village pub, with lovely home made chips.
