OMG, how many posts?!! Have had to haul laptop out to catch up, trying to look at too much on my phone hurting eyes.
Lots to make me chortle re animal stories - swan are you turning into an animal sanctuary? Trying still contending with wee/shit incidents is see - did i read a couple of days ago you were getting a wee detector? I'm impressed let us know if it works, i had a friend who maintained that her 3 labs did not smell (they did) and absolutely never weed in the house - they did, i could smell it, so maybe i ought to buy her one 
toffee pleased the dog walk has helped with ds, we've not had a break in the rain for the last couple of days, so hope you haven't got too wet, feet dead birds inside? gip gip gip gip, that would send me over the edge, would have to hide in room and instruct somebody to remove it, at least dead bird better then a live one?
I've not been at home today or yesterday, so flying is very very limited, however, because i haven't been here house isn't too bad.
bitchy I was aware that i was buying more than intended, but hadn't totted it up in my head, so was a bit shocked, I also got some established strawberry plants and 3 blueberry bushes which added to the cost - all plants and seeds are currently sat where i left them yesterday, re the seeds, i was faced with rows and rows of different varieties, stood and stared at them for a very long time, was quite overwhelming, so ended up grabbing and running. I tend to get very enthusiastic about buying things, but not so good at subsequently looking after them.
whoknows i am going back 4 days in May, Monday to Thursday when ds will be 8 months, i work at a university, so luckily i'm going back when its quiet and no students about, so can work from home quite a bit and hopefully have a nice slow introduction back to it until they return in October,
trying did you go shopping or online it? I can't wait to have a wage again so can actually buy something, enjoy your MaccyD's wine? 
I decided that i wanted to get rid of a small filing cabinet in the front room a couple of weeks ago, that it was too office like and replace it with a toy box, the toy box replaced it, but the filing cabinet only made it across the room to next to the door and has remained there, in the way, until now. Shall attempt to start to look through contents whilst watching the Apprentice - did people see the 'shabby chic' 'union jack' items they tried to peddle last week?!
