        Oh it does! It does! We have to hunt for the hidden poo now every morning lol Our boy is not "captive" but he might as well be as I honestly dont think he ever leaves our garden anymore, he must be very old by now...he's been visiting our garden for 7 years at the very least, nests here & hibernates in the shed too :hhog:

          Was planning to do lots of gardens today but the vehicle had other ideas. The battery went belly-up (only 5 months old). Got a replacement under guarantee but after hooking it up, it blew indicator bulbs and motor now stalls when trying to idle, so ECU probably fried.

          Backup strimmer is giving up the ghost too, after main one melted into two halves a couple of weeks ago. At wits end with this gardening malarkey. Time for a change of career :wallbanging::wallbanging::wallbanging:

                  I had my usual disagreement with the telephone and power companies when I received my bills and got them to change them :dbgrtmb:. We've been looking at booking a holiday towards the end of the year but hadn't got around to doing it. Yesterday we received an email from the holiday company offering a free, two level upgrade on the one we were looking at :hapydancsmil: So I'll have a word with the travel agent and see whether they can get us a discount as well. don't ask, don't get! :snork:

                  Today we're picking up 36 2ft x 2ft paving slabs (free) with another 36 next week. 'Free' is one of my favourite four letter words. :rasp:

                      Would you also like to know about the things I find in the poo? The things that lay eggs and things that move and wriggle :lunapic 130165696578242 5: :lunapic 130165696578242 5:. I have pictures :snorky: :snorky:

                            You lot are certainly doing a good job of selling the joys of having animals! NOT! :nonofinger:

                            We'll stick with other people's friendly cats and the friendly birds in the garden. :)

                                Watched Saving Private Ryan for the first time tonight and I have cried most of the way through. The opening scene was horrific and can't begin to imagine what it was like for the poor souls who actually experienced the real thing. Makes you so grateful for what youve got.:cry3:
