Tuesday 29th

I was very naughty yesterday. Tad was well enough to go back to school - he ate on Sunday night and then bounced out of bed in the morning blithering for England. After we'd dropped the boys off at school Mum and I went to a big M&S near us and went shopping.
I bought some new jeans and long sleeved t-shirts which were cheap and essential. BUT I also bought myself some wide legged jersey trousers and a long v-neck jumper that actually make me look slim. Well they do in black and navy. In red they make me look fatter than fat.
We got back for lunch then let the chickens out. On Sunday night Goat and I had moved the hen house belonging to the old girls back into the pen so they were all in together overnight. When we let the lot out there was no obvious problem other than a few feathers on the ground. None of the girls looked harmed so possibly they are all getting along well with no pecking order problems. You can never tell with chickens. Only 9 eggs so some of them are laying somewhere we have yet to discover. I only hope we find it before they go off - treading in off eggs is not fun at all.
Con woke us at 3am to tell us he'd been sick so he is off school today. Feeling a bit better when I last checked on him. He came home with the class mascot yesterday so I need to stick that through the washing machine before it goes back. Joy.
The house is freezing cold at the moment -the sun hasn't got in through the windows yet. At least its shining today. I could put the heating on but we were trying to hold off until October just on principle. I might have to try an aerobics work out to warm up. Kill or cure. I was going to hoover throughout but the poorly boy upstairs really needs to rest.
