Well spotted 'our' Bob again yesterday Lottie and he's definately just a taddy - no sign of feathery gills. He doesn't seem to have any legs buds either and still just looks like a giant, black sperm!!!  ;D All my froglets are doing well in their 'hotel' that I built for them at the side of the pond (branches, stones, pine cones and moss heap  :D) so I don't know why he prefers to stay in the water.

;) It's all part of what I think they say is " Life's rich tapestry" Lottie, where we learn about the real world & that it isn't all " sugar & spice" all the time, although the memory likes to try & trick us that it is.  ::) Just an idea, but if you have room why not get a couple of the bigest plastic planters you can find  without any holes in, sink them in the ground & the children can build own wildlife ponds ready for next year now. Have done this myself for my grandkids & it is very successful every year.  ??? ;D ;D Might take their minds off cat too.  :)

Thanks for idea, Marley.  However garden tiny, half on if on a 1:1 slope!! Wouldn't be able to keep water in pond, get tired having to keep running up and down slope refilling pool!! They seem OK now, Bob still on missing presumed eaten list.... Lottie   ;D

Colour had returned... then sat reading book (Harry Potter!!) when OH shouted out " For God's sake, will you cover yourself up woman!! I'm sick of seeing that chest!!!" I went beetroot, jumped up and looked down, all as it should be!! Then realized he was talking about the GMTV weather girl.............  :-[  Lottie  ;D  ;D  ;D

;D It must be chaos in your house at times Lottie, fantastic  ;D ;D I know it would be taking a risk on life & limb  ;D :o  but would be quite interesting being a fly on the wall for a day in your house by the sounds of it, never a dull moment.  ;D ;D second thoughts I'll just let you tell us, much funnier & safer  ;D ;D By the way how are getting on with HP finished it yet??

Now why would you think chaos?? Today, normal day, OH assumed plumbing easy task, removed sink (?), replaced with new sink.  Now have no sink, no hot water,big leak and very cross lottie!! You're more than welcome!!  Lottie  ;D
PS it's the sink's fault  ???

;) Well of course it's the sinks fault, whose else could it be ;) :)  Maybe I'll give that idea a miss then.  :) We had allot of high drama last year when ripped out old bathroom  >:( :'( :) Of course that is never mentioned now of course. It dragged on for weeks though, so can sympathise with you, hope it's sorted out soon. Just keep smiling through, I'm sure it won't be long before you are plumbed back in again & we can have smiling Lottie again.  ;D

 ;D Yes thank goodness, bathroom great success in end. Old house means nothing is straight forward. Now only two old codgers so have the dream bathroom always wanted. Did put glow in the dark loo seat on for grand kids, they tell me it's swish now , so hopefully it's cool too, but somehow doubt that.  ;D Hope all banging & crashing worth it & you are plumbed back in now. Brain engaged again??  & normality returning.  ::)
