    Ah that’s such a cute idea! :)

    I’m convinced I have the same 2 little birdies that visit me all the time cause I left seeds out for them shortly after I moved in and over the Christmas.

    House is cleaned top to bottom, feels bigger and loads more space. Feet up now and Dancing on ice and who wants to be a millionaire on tv nice easy watches.

    It’s not all bad so :)

    Watching who wants to be a millionaire ourselves. It's a decent upgrade with Jeremy Clarkson, liking him on it.

    Will be sticking on resistance at 9.30 on rte1 though.

    Last year, I threw all the decorations into the attic and the place was a MESS. I had to sort the whole attic (a full day's work) a few weeks later.

    This year (today!) I sorted as I went, and the attic looks pretty tidy now. Halved the work for myself by putting in a bit more effort today. Also did a bit more tidying and put my old mangy pop-up tree in the shed instead of away with the other decorations, because it needs to go in the rubbish! I don't drive, so it can be easy to end up with a house full of crap. Must book a decluttering friendly skip in the spring. :)

    I do not really feed the birds here.. cats... MY cats...

    my new boy, rescued from the street, is so grateful he keeps bringing me gifts of tiny living wrens..... Such a gentle mouth they are totally unharmed and I now return them to the wild.. three this week. He is a vivid black and white so they must be blind...The robin still follows me up the lane in the bushes, singing.

    Here I lack an attic, shed or spare room and it drives me crazy at times. As a serious professional knitter I have stock,

    The kitchen table is disguised as an under table store; there is so little cupboard space.. Moved the single bed away from the wall and put in a large market stall table .....when the car arrives on island it will be filled gratefully.. but after ten moves in 17 years I should have little clutter.... :eek:

    Excellent. We like that ourselves. The christmas special usually says when the new series starts back but didnt this year so wasnt sure if it was coming back at all, nice to see now it is!

    Sunday evening viewing sorted for a few weeks at least.

    A chirpy bird has found a temporary home amongst the sparse trees.
    What a delight - birdsong, in the dead of winter - a reminder that spring is just around the corner.

    House = attic.
    Attic = Storage.
    Storage = room to put all the xmas decorations that you can buy on the cheap in preparation for the big day in 344 days :)

    Seeing the start of a stretch in the evening now... had been used to darkness when leaving the office but its been alot brighter the last few days.
    A good bit milder today as well, no having to clear frost off the car!! Always a bonus that!
