Ah God love her, fluffy, I’m glad she’s doing good now. Brave little lass!. Please share photos of the cross stitch when it’s done!

I love hedgehogs, firefly, 🦔. I hope he manages to get some food tonight 🤞🏻

Yippee!, mrs, the house sounds perfect for your DD. I’m chuffed for you all. It just shows it’s good to hold out until you find the right one. I meant spell, I got something right this time Grin. We’re all on the up now, DD’s feeling much better and DS1’s just feeling drowsy. I’m at that awful stage where you can’t taste anything, which is bloody annoying as we had a lovely tea tonight and I couldn’t taste a thing.

I’m off to try and sleep now, goodnight all.

Morning.

It's windy and cold today. 🥶🥶🥶🥶 Good drying day though.

Do you get GW magazine, Firefly? (DH has just started the cheap subscription as you're not allowed to do it twice!) There's an article about hedgehogs this month. I've only seen a dead hedgehog in recent years. 😢

Mrs, I feel for your neighbour. His daughters are awful to him. She's essentially stolen the car though; call the police!

I have no idea re DD. I'm sure she'll be fine, but she wasn't up when I left the house! DH will just have to be careful when he washes her hair in the bath this morning so it stays dry.

Mrs, tell your DH that it needs to be wet cat food for hedgehogs. I forget the best flavours from the article, but I think it was chicken and turkey!

I'm attaching a photo from the GW article! It's cute.

DD is fine! She slept well (though tried not to sleep on her right - preferred - side).

Flouncy, these JC cross stitches are a faff with their two colour strands and loads of half stitches, aren't they?! And the pattern flaps about doesn't it?

Morning. Hedgehogs are lovely, we had one living under the small hedge in our garden over the Autumn. He (could easily have been a she though) used to wander round snuffling about.

Good tip re the pattern! And yes, aida.

It's just the separating a colour from each and then putting them back together as one which is long winded! Much easier / quicker to get one colour threaded. I don't know if I tramline! 😂

My dad's name is Hubert. Very confusing! 🦔

I was thinking that it was strange our dad was in your garden Flouncy. Surreal start to the day.

No. I don't do tramlining! 😂😂 That's above my skill / patience level.

Dad might fancy a day out in flouncy's garden. Probably not the cat food so much.

I agree Fluffy he would be very happy in Flouncy's garden and with added cake he might never leave.

Mrsmadevans · 29/01/2020 10:29

Fanny my DH loves his pots in the garden too 😁
Lovely garden m'dear 🤗🌞
That's a lovely picture of Mrs Tiddlywinks Fluffy ♥️
Never fear DH feeds the hedgies cat bisks soaked in water chicken and duck flavour 😁 he always soaks the bisks for them 🤗♥️

Mumbassa · 29/01/2020 10:33

Morning!

It’s sunny and quite warm here, bur according to my app it’s meant to rain for the foreseeable from tomorrow. DD is feeling fine now, so she should be back in school tomorrow.

Thanks for the well wishes, mrs❤️

I’m glad DD is doing well, fluffy.

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 29/01/2020 10:35

Flouncy an excellent choice for a hedgehog name. (Surname as well to be fair) very regal. I would be tempted to call him Sir Hubert.

I need to think of a name in case our resident hog returns in the spring.

I like the name Horatio. I think that is a good one. #Sorted

Mrsmadevans · 29/01/2020 13:04

Fanny we call him Hercules 😂👍

Mrsmadevans · 29/01/2020 14:56

Just spotted your DD was ok this morning that is a relief for you Fluffy Smile
Fanny l didn't realise re the Spring flowers Smile . l was on the edge of the mountain (Fiddler's Elbow Crazy) coming down, Shock up isn't so bad . We went to Brynmawr for a bit of shopping , l needed cards for Mum's birthday and my neices birthday too and there were delays on the heads of the valley road so DH thought we would go that way and l hate it ! Sheer drop !
DD2 has sent off the deposit and the forms just waiting for email confirmatIon and the house is definitely hers YAY!
Have just got rid of our treadmill too , they came and picked it up we gave it them , they are doing a half marathon for Ty Hafan and want to train for it Smile. We used to use it religiously and enjoyed it but l haven't for a good while because of my back & DH has really terrible knees old age Grin when l'm 64 birthday on the 12th Feb bless him Smile . It's no good keeping it . She also had the new huge litter box , cat bed and cat carrier we bought for ours and then they died Sad. We have too much on our plate atm to be able to look after pets unfortunately . Nevermind , one day we will have another one. Just strange without them and we have never been without pets since we got married.
Just about to have a cuppa it's been a busy day !

Mrsmadevans · 29/01/2020 15:19

Dh just sent me this hope you can see it Smile

Yay!, mrs, I bet it’s all starting to feel a bit more real now. Completely unrelated, but your DH has the same birthday as DS1
