I've been putting loads of feed out every day for the birds. It's all gone every evening when I get home. The poor fox is doing the circuit every night now as I suppose there are no bin bags or takeaways left around. 
I've taken pity and put a load of Tescos Value dry dog food out tonight just in case.

You have me at a disadvantage. Elsewhere we have also been putting food out for the birds. Lots of blackbirds for some reason. Many tits and finches. Haven't seen a starling for ages.
The smell of Roe makes me want to heave

About birds my auntie loves doing that and told us to try it once, we did but then they picked holes in our grass so didn't do it again.

Unless there are JWs around, I keep my Dawkins well tucked away. Those lovely young Mormons can even hold my Dawkins if they come to my door!Reference:

I bought a 20Kg bag of shelled sunflower seeds for ÂĢ30. The birds of all types love them but I think the non-sea gulls can't pick them up. Even the tits and sparrows eat them after they've chopped them up in their beaks.

WB Cinds! Yeah... AJ gets those.... rock hard balls of ice around his feet... I have to melt and crumble them with my hands for him!
we have a huge mob of starlings that come and clown around on our bird table... we call them the yobs.
All the neighbours cater for the delicate little birds.... so we do the big unpopular ones... we put out leftovers which does include meat trimmings... so we basically get the starlings, magpies, jays.... wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of buzzards & and the odd vulture out there at times.

It was about ÂĢ1.30 for a 2Kg bag I think. I don't suppose the fox cares about Value food at this time of year.

I love the cookies from ASDA bakery lol
, especially the double chocolate chip ones or mint matchmakers. But grrr they only do the chocolate doughnuts which are tasty too at the bigger store in town rather in the little one close to home

The Rolo cookies are good too
This snow is nothing compared to what I am used to! My mum phoned me on Christmas and they just had 14 inches and were expecting more. In fact, on the BBC programme about Frozen Britian, my home town got a mention as they are now at -20 degrees (F).

I LOVE Asda's chocolate cookies - treat time when I go shopping for the week.
Why does my stupid dog stand and bark at the snow, run round and round in circles in the stuff and then want to go for 2 walks when normally you have to persuade her to go for more than one walk a day??
Why oh why didn't I buy some wellies last week?? I have ruined my Ugg copies from Primark wearing them in the snow.

More snow pics taken just moments ago. OH MY GOD I want to put the Christmas tree back up. I have just suggested to Big _D that we have another little Christmas, and he said YESSSSSSSSSS.
This is what it'd look like during a nuclear winter I expect. How lovely!

Hello Suzi 
As you know I have good friends in Washington DC and the weekend before Christmas they got 15 inches in a few hours and were forecast for at least another 24 inches during the following 24 hours, it was at this point I wished that we had took up the invitation for Christmas in DC.

I should put my snow queen coat on, light the chimnea and go and sit in the pagoda sipping mulled wine. *warm thoughts*
Ooh Cinds they are so pretty!
My Mam's just rang my sister to ask if we're all ok, apparently news of our winter has hit the news reports in New Zealand

Hiya Pinky I'm fine, thanks. We had the internet connection hell for a few weeks - our ISP switched to ADSL 2, none of our routers were able to do ADSL 2. We had engineers come out, etc., and they couldn't figure it out, so sent us a new router that could handle ADSL 2, and we still couldn't connect. Come to find out it was a fault in the phone line that the engineer failed to spot.
I felt like I was in the Dark Ages! I resorted to *gasp* reading BOOKS!
