Currently longer than shoulder length and just washed

 Washed is good.

 

I love my hair on freshly washed day, I wish we could make that feeling last days!

Me too it would save on shampoo apart from any thing else 

I know what you mean. I also love when I put fresh bedding on the bed.

 

Off to read for a while, see you tomorrow.

Goodnight Summer, Moonie and Ros, sweet dreams.

Sweet dreams yogi enjoy

Sorry was on the phone to me sister

Goodnight Yogi. Sleep well and have a good tomorrow

For all my Night Owl friends...

 

 

Aint sure the mother owl is real tbh

 

Goodnight everyone. Sleep well. Sweet dreams

Good morning everyone

 

Early morning fog here has lifted but there's more mid-day in the forecast. A cold day.

 

Moonie, nice fluffy owlets

 

Good morning everyone. It's raining up here.

Love the fluffy owls, Moonie.

I think I might visit the garden centre today. It's time to start planning what I'm going to plant/grow this year.

Have a good day, everyone.

 

Good morning a frosty start here today but looking brighter as the morning goes

Cute owls moonie, I had to laugh at the mother

Good luck at the garden centre yogi, any ideas yet? I love it when the garden comes back to life in spring!

Me too, I know February can be a very cold month so although it feels like Spring is just around the corner I know that's just a cruel hoax so I don't want to get my hopes up.

 

Lots of hoovering to do today ready for hiring a carpet shampooer over the next 3 days, I hope my grandson will come and help me.

 

Have a good day everyone

Just reported to the local council that my wheelie bin of rubbish has not been collected. It was in full view of the road, nothing unusual in it, not overflowing, the neightbours have had theirs collected, mine was just ignored

It's not half full so could wait for a fortnight, but that doesn't make it alright.

 

They should send out a special lorry EL, I know in our area if there is an oversight they have a team which goes around picking up bins that have been overlooked.

Good afternoon Buddies

Glad you liked the baby owls. The mum still looks a little dodgy to me though

The weather is sunny but we had a sharp frost over night I have yet to go out. Have to go to podiatrist to have me pods done later though

 

El, I have had that problem in the past even though I live in a small town and the bins are placed on the edge of the property when they are due to be collected. Both side of my property have been collected but not mine

I just phone the local council up and it is collected within 3 working days, usually the next day.

 

Have a great day everyone

Good luck with your pods, Moonie

So far I've had no reply from the council re my wheelie bin and it hasn't been emptied. I'll wait a couple of days to see if anthing happens before making a formal complaint. One of the local councillors happens to be a regular at church and I know him quite well.

 

Squiggle, I hope your grandsons help you with the carpet shampooing. Some of the equipment can be quite heavy.

El, good luck with getting your bin gets emptied.

Moonie, I hope all has gone well with your pods. I could never have been a podiatrist as I hate feet! Baby feet are fine, but anything bigger is a no-no!

No decisions yet but the onions and garlic were successful last year, so I will probably grow them again. I might reduce the numbers of each vegetable but try a few more varieties.

El, that's so frustrating, I had the same problem last year and couldn't believe I had to phone the council on 4 seperate occasions! The peculiar thing was, it only happened with the general waste, never recycling and like you, my neighbours bins were always emptied.
In the end I politely reminded them that I paid for that service and have never been late, I suggested they check my records. It has always been emptied since

Yogi, I was thinking of flowers- veg is exciting! I like runner beans

Moonie, I hope your pedicure went well- what varnish did you choose?

Squiggle, please don't lift anything too heavy I bet your carpets will look beautiful after their wash

The council have now replied saying that the bin will be collected by tomorrow.

 

I have been instructed to leave it on the kerbside until then. This will cause an obstruction to pedestrians and I have sent an email back to the council disclaiming any responsibility for accidents and any vandalism that may occur. I have also told them that I will be passing this on to the local councillor. It seems a stupid change of policy that may save a micro-second of work for the council workers but increases the risk of injury to pedestrians and of vandalism.

 

thanks El

Yep, me tootsies are in fine fettle now fankoo Yogi

I am not a foot person myself either and couldn't do that job. Babies feet are different. They are 'squeezable'

Sweet, its like walking on clouds now Blue nail varnish but shhhhhhhh! don't tell anyone

 Glad you understood what I meant.

Too late, I heard! What shade of blue?

light blue

 

EL, I hope they can empty your bin as early as possible tomorrow so that it won't get in the way for too long.  Did they apologise for overlooking it?

 

Moonie I bet you are walking on air now.

 

They are delivering the shampooer and collecting it again and my grandson has promised to help.  All the downstairs vacuuming is finished and the upstairs one won't take long at all, so I feel we are all ready for tomorrow

Hi Squiggle

You have had a busy day Hate having to get the hoover out

Good luck with the shampooing and I hope your grandson does help, well does most of it, okay all of it

*floats by on cushion of air*

 

Squiggle, their reply reads:

 

In order for your bin to be emptied it needs to be presented on the kerbside by 7am on the day of collection with a firmly closed lid, with the bin only containing domestic waste.

 

I can confirm that your bin was due for collection on Monday 06^th January.  I have therefore instructed the crew to return and empty.  Please ensure the bin remains on the kerbside until this has been completed.  The crew should return by the end of tomorrow at the latest.

 

So there's no sign of an apology there. The date of course should be the 20th, not the 6th. I had put the bin on the pavement on the house side rather than the kerb side and everyone in my road does as I do. The lid was closed and the bin just had household rubbish and didn't have anything which should have been recycled.

 

That sounds like the 'standard' reply when they 'cock it up or can't be bothered' to do their job right El. No one puts their bin by the curbside because most of the curbside in our road have cars parked on them

We leave them on the edge of our property or up against the fence and wake up to bins strewn all over the pavement when they have finished.

 For your grandsons offering to help. Hope you get the chance to put your feet up tonight.

Did I just see moonie tap dancing through the thread?
I'm glad your feet feel all nice now

El I'm pleased the council have responded, I see their answer is typical at least you have disclaimed any responsilbity
Did they explain why they had missed yours out?

More like staggering through the thread Sweet Fankoo

Hows you this evening? Had a good day?

Are you relaxing now moonie?

Mr summer is watching Flash Gordon, I can't stand it lol
