Please help birds/wildlife - if you're having fireworks, choose quiet ones
If you're planning on fireworks for Guy Fawkes, please keep in mind that as it's spring, there are lots of baby birds nesting in gardens. The loud noise of some fireworks can terrify birds so much, parent birds fly away from their nest and don't return, so the baby birds then die. Young birds may also be so scared, they leap from the nest and end up on the ground, where they starve or are caught by cats.
If you're thinking of having fireworks, please choose quieter ones and stay in large, open areas, well away from trees or shrubs where birds might be nesting. This will help other wildlife and pets too. Thank you!
Cat door
I am going away for a short time next month and need to have my cat door fixed so I can fit the gadget to it which prevents cats, other than mine, from entering my home. The cat door is already an hole in the door but the flap part has come off and leaves an open space. Not sure how things will work but maybe there is an handyman who could come and have a look and see if something will work out ?? Sorry the description is '' vague'' but it's not your usual cat door! Thanks so much.
Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
