Memories

In memory of my little bird, I'm planning on working on a few things for her.  On Photobucket, I've made up a story about her life.  It's brief and sweet, and I'll keep it there for all my online friends to look at.  However, here's the link for you all to see it too:

In Memory of Little Miss Stevie - a story 

I'm also hoping to bury her in a large potted plant in the back yard and carve a memorial to her out of aerated concrete to place in the pot too.  You see, I can't bury her in my garden as it is because the ground it clay and under my lawn is mostly stormwater drains.  So, I'd rather be able to have her in a large pot so - when I move from where I live now - she can come with me.

On Wednesday, I'm also going to Garden City to get around 70 or so photos printed up at K-Mart and to get a new album for them.  This is so I can remember her whenever I want to offline.

So, there you have it, her memorials... offline and online.  I will get another budgie as it's becoming lonely and far too quiet without another bird in this house... and I miss birdsong during my breakfast and dinner.  

Goodbye Dear Friend

Yesterday evening, at around 6:30pm, Little Miss Stevie passed away from our world and into the next.  She was in my hands outside as the sun set over Logan City while the birds sang and screeched and the night fell over us.  The breeze blew nice and warm, fluffing her feather a little and she looked around, half-knowing she was outside - a place she had always wanted to be outside her cage; and now was with me to be her guardian in her last moments.

Since her stroke on 1st, December, she had been weak.  But she was becoming stronger as each day passed.  However, yesterday it seemed that her little heart had come to its last few beats and she couldn't hold on any longer.  She did wait until I was home from a long day out and about with friends before letting me know something was wrong.  And this is how we ended up being outside together... I didn't want her life ending inside my house in a cage, I wanted her spirit to sour free - just like she had always wanted - with the other wild birdies of the world.

I will never forget her little antics or her song.  Her blue feathers will always be in the sky for me and be a wonderful memory for me.  However I will be erecting a memorial for her in my garden.  I'm planning on getting a large potted plant and putting her in with it with a carved memorial out of aerated concreted in front of it; so her memory will forever live on.  

For you all who followed her little blog here, I thank you for doing so - even if you only bookmarked this blog to enjoy.  I have enjoyed watching it develop.  I will be getting another budgie; but not for some time... there is a healing period to work through.  Thank you all for being here for me and my little bird. 

In Memory Of Little Miss Stevie 

Lop sided

hi i'm back. oh... look! mum came and wrote for me. how nce is tht. oh, look at that, my sepling is bad. darn ths head.

Like she said i havent been well and i took a spiiil... oops. i fell down from flyying around. mum asked the vets what happened and lookt it up on the net and found out i have had a stroke. now i'm lop-sided all the time. this means my head it turnd to the right all the time... 

stop laughing! i see the world sideways.

this isnt funny.

besides i can only see out of my left eye now too. 

see that stopped ya.

sorry, i'm still getting used to this like mum. she has put one of my enemies in my cage with me ... a towel!... i hate those things. this is so i cant hurt myself.and tomorow its going to be stiinkining hot.

ive made so manny mistakes here.   

Dizzy

Hi there. It's Little Miss Stevie's owner here.  I thought to let you guys out there know that she's not well at the moment.  Last night, sometime, she fell ill and had a possible stroke and isn't really feeling up to posting anything for a while. 

I found this out this morning when I took out of her cage and let her fly around and she dropped to the floor instead.  Then, when I found her, she was walking around in circles with her head off to one side. The vets at Greencross Vets told me it was something that could have happened during the night when I was sleeping.

Right now, all I can do is keep her nice and cool, protect her from overbalancing and stop her from flying too much.   I'll pass on any notes or well-wishes you want to leave below in her comments box... but really, all she wants to do is sleep right now.  At least she's not falling off her perch from doing that or preening - and this is a good sign of her balance coming back.  All I can do is watch her and wait and see what happens.
You see, I bought her from a petstore and so I don't know where breeding or bloodlines.  I wish I did, but I don't; and this plays a vital role in how long she'd live for.  

Anyway, I thought to let you all know just in case you don't hear from her for a while.    

Hot Days and Rainy Aftanooon

Weev been having hot days and today it rained.  Mum went out for Sunday and was gone all day monday and came home on tuusday.  today she went out with her Mum and she came home when it was raining. She came home with bags of things and was happy. 

Its time for Mum to decorate the house again with chrissmassy things... I like it when its all like that. but this time shes decorating outside too. what fun!

Busted!

Today, mum got out the loud machine from the storage place unda the stairz and cleaned the carpet. i always get nervus around this thing becawse its so loud and i have heard sum bad things about it.. like it can suck birdies like me up its pipe never to be seeen agin!!! but mum won't let that happen.
well she moved me off the big wooden thing along the window and put the long pipe behind it where i havebeen secretly hiding my fethas and throwing seed husks. but sumhow she knew they were all there! while i was sitting at the back door, where she put me out of the way and i watched the nice morning for a bit, she came back and showed me how much fethas and seed husks and dirts  was behind where my cage sits. it was a lot!

i think i have to find anotherplace to throw my poo seed and fethas now she knows about that place. or just wait until she forgets its there again and do it all again! 

Oh! Boy! Feeling better!

wow! i'm feeling so much betta now. last night i ate all my food andkept on eating until late in the night! there was something about the shellgrit mum gave me yestaday that has helpt me feel hungry again. and my poo doesnt stick my fethas anymore and its not gooey and smelling and gross anymore eetha.

mum has been checking me and cuddling me a lot too. she has noticed my fethas are nice and flufly again and not as oily as thye were befor. when she gave me the shellgrit again jumt on her hand ate lots of it today. so good when i feel like eating.

Runny Poos and Feeling Tired

i have been feeling tired and have been horribl poops sticking to my fethers. this isnt fun. mum has had to cleen my bum with wet tissues and that makes my bum cold.  today she got out my budgie book she bought me a few years ago and read that i shoud be eating shellgrit. she brawght out my big bottle of it and gave me some.

Wow! i didnt know i missed it so much until i ate some! its so yummy! she said she would let me have more tomorrow. but i'm feeling better now. 

its so good she thauwht of this. i cant wait until tomorrow.  

Moulting Time

Mum is worryed about me. i'm moulting and am very quiet but then a lot of my fethers are coming out and i feel very quiet when that happens. shes been feedng me and making me feel good by talking to me and thats nice but all i want to do is sleep most of the time.

i'm so tired. i hope this fether changing thingy doesnt take long. i don't like having mum wory too much. she is such a good human and likes being around me and i like her a lot too.

Hot Days and hot nites

it's been very hot for a while. mums been good and not covered me up at night just letting me sleep in just my cage and thats it. but last night was fun! we played the tree leg game. she put her leg on the coffee tabul and she put me on it and i ran up and down her leg. then she tipped her drink over a bit and i thought to try to have a bath. and then she got my spray bottle and she sprayed me while i spinned round on her leg and got all wet. it was fun!
after kissing me on my head she put me on my cage and i dried my fethers and i put myself to bed. but it was still a hot night.

We Are Home

Yestaday Mum and me came home. Her Dad came and picked us up from her brothers house and we drove all around the place. there was so much to do yestaday.

we even went to a party where a lady opened all presents and they were for a baby but the baby wasnt there. i thawth thats strange. anyway, Mum gave them something too and they loved what she knitted for them. it was so much fun talking to all the new peeple there and they thought i was cute becawse im blue.
Mum and her dad and me took off soon tho because it was getting late and mum was tired. and we were home soon. I was so excited to see our place i called to the otha birdies to tell them i was back. now the radio and fishies know im back too becawse the radios talking to me again. 

i know the tv knows i'm back it talked to me last night.

A Cold Holiday

Mum and me came to her brothers place and got our stuff put here a few days ago. the day we showed up it was nice and hot the sun was out and birdies was talking to me. the night was hot too. then yesterday it turned cold and it began to rain. today its cold and rainy. mum is in her brothers jumper and my winter covers are over my cage to keep me toastie.

i think this week is going to be a cold week. oh well. thats okay. i dont mind. mum doesnt either.

Mum Washed My Covers! OMG!

I feel vielated! Mum washed my covers! They was all smelly just right and she went washed my smell out of them saying they was stinky. 
Why do our Mums do that when our covers have our smell on themjust the way we likethem? I saw her hang them out and when they were bruwght back inside she foldedthem and and I didnt like how they looked or felt. Mum tried to get me to touchthem but they felt wrong. i have to poo on them again to make them smell right!

Mums Still Sick

Mum doesnt have a big runny nose anymore but she coughs like a lowd horn now. at night she is worse than during tha day and i get worried. she has been giving me extra special cuddles tho where i go to sleep all flufflied up in her hand. and all she does is pat my beek with her finger and the next thing i know i'm out like a lite and sleeping in her hand. she thinks this is very cute.

but she isnt well and has been keeping away from me as much as possible. she has been opening the howse during the day and making sure there is fresh wind coming thru. and at night she is eating good meals too. 

i hope sheis allrite.

Yestaday

Mum did somethings around here that were diffrent. she told me that she has been living here in this place for ten yeers! thats olda than me! she gave me a cuddle and said it was so good to know she had let me live here with her not long after she lived here.
how cool is htat? she was upstairs for most of the day and then came down and did some howse wirk and made a pizza whitch she said was her first meal when she spent her first night here. really cool that. but she had a really late night and watched a few movies.

today she made pancakes and the radio has been singing to me all morning. she is upstairs again. the new computa is a lot of fun to be around i think.

Getting Betta

I think Mums getting betta. she is eating all the time and sleeps in late. she is happy but has a bad cough. the house is open and the wind comes through all the time. but it has been hot too.
yes i think mum is gettting betta it will be good to not hear that cough or hear her blow her nose any more. but she is still cuddling me and whistles to me. and that is good. 

Mum's Sick

My mum isnt well. ova the weekend she didnt sleep at all and today she was off to the doctas to get something for that awful sound that comes from her throat... that coff. this morning i tried to give her cuddle to let her know it was going to be okay but she kept on pulling away saying it wasnt safe for me.

i suppoz shes right but i wish i culd do more.
she is my mum and i worry abowt her.

She came home with a bag full of goodies for herself to get betta.  but no antibiotics... she had to wait for this go away. i hate it when that happens.

Silly Me

Mum and me have been spending lots of time togetha at nite. she gave me a really big cuddle last night and tickled me under my wing and then she made tea in tha kitchen. she leaves the curtin pulled and tha sun warms me all day and she knows its time to feed me less and that i enjoy flying more.

but last night i did a silly thing. i flew onto the cage and took off again as i landed. then i found myself on a plastic bag that didnt tayke my wait. mum pulled a few things away and found me behind the credensa!  how funny is that? i havent been behind that in a long time. she had to pull dust off my feathas and smooth them out while she laughed at me. 

i thought it was pretty funny too. for wonce i didnt screech like a baby birdie. and i landed on my feets too. i still felt pritty silly tho.

Warma Dayz

We have been having a good time togetha here with each otha. but i think Mum is looking forward to gettting a new computa. she made a fone cawl this morning and talkd to her Dad about returning the one she has been using to her Mum soon and gettting a new one that it was time.

I think Mum has run out of things to do around the place too. so she needs to get back in and do her work on the computa again.  we have had a lot fun playing music and looking at her black things she puts on top of the radio and we have had a lot of cuddles and I have been flying around the house. and thats a lot of fun. i have loved being with Mum as much as she has with me and i think its time we did our own things again too. she want to use her office and her chair and her stuff upstairs. i want to throw my feathers everywhere without her knowing again.

broken computa

Mum and me mite be giving a new computa a new home soon. this one is getting old and something has gone wrong with it when Mum deleted something off it.  it doesnt remember her words or anything and this is bad. 

but shes not the only one this has happpend to. there ar otha peeple who have problms like her too, exakly the same. 

so she is looking at getting a guy in to look at the computa again and see how mutch it will cost to get it fixt. i hope it gets fixt soon.

Wirking With Mum!

This week has been rainy and cold and Mum has been home the whole time! she was even here today wirking on her glewy book at the table while music played. but today it was nice and warm and sunny. this was a change from the otha days of wet cold and rainy.

Mum was supposssd to go to the gallery to wirk but her book was too wet to do anaything with when she was finishd with it so she stayed here with me. isnt that cool?

she got a phone call when she turned on the tv for afternoon tea and one of the ladies at the gallery were calling too see how herwirk went today. she told her and said she had more to do. i'm so happy she is gonna be wirking on it more tomorrow. 

mum's also making pancakes tomorrow because she put some powdery stuff into a bowl on tha counter and covered it over. i love the smell of pancakes.

Mum Stays Home

Its been a week of me on my own. but today Mum stayed home all day and spent some of it with me downstairs doing howsewirk and then went outside and did the gardening. she mowd the lawn and pulled out weeds and put everything away. then she fixed up a book she is working on for an exhibishion with otha peeple for a while before sitting down and knitted a blanket for some friends.

For a day doing not much, Mum sure was busy!

Even befor she went off to bed, she washed up everything, took out the rubbish and wiped down the counter and she still wasnt happy until my cover was tuckd in properly to keep me warm. but thats Mum always fussy

Cleeening Howse

Last night mum was very tired. we had somebody wake us up at reely reelly late on fridya night and she wasnt too happy about it. but she had togo out yestaday in the aftanoon.

but this morning she was up and put on the lawndry and washed up most of the dirty plates in the kitchen. and then she looked at the fishies. one of them is sick. he has some lumpy thing on his side and she doesnt know what to do. anyway, she is hoping he isnt in too much pain but will get other fishies becawse they're cute like me

its past 1 in the aftanoon. the lawndry is all done and my cage got cleaned out and the washing up was done. mum also found some old reading magazings she can use in her art thingy she is doing. she is looking forward to working on it all today.

Me? i'm hoping to see more of her when she is downstairs and working onher art. and i'm happy the sun is out insted of the rain.

Busy Mum

Mum is very busy this week. She is being cuddly all the time and telling me when sheel be home and that she loves me. this means sheel be busy all the time.

I dont mind becawse it meens i get to have more cuddles and i love being cuddled. mum has been home at night and that is somthing she promised and its good to see her at home then. but then she loves being home at night. 

she has been out in the day time and busy in the weekdays getting things done around the place. she plays music a lot and hangs about with me. thats great

today is a cold day and she put my covers over my cage. the sun isnt out all the time and now i'm warm and the radio is talking and singng pretty music to me. i can have nice warm sleeps if i want.

Warm Week

Yestaday mum was out in the aftanoon becawse the thing that plays her records broke. so she got her dad to take her to a store to get it fixed. but she came home without it. she keeps saying the sterio doesnt look right. 

but the sun it out today and my feathers are all nice and warm. mum put the lawndry outside on the lion and she is happy and left the radio on. thats cool! she keeps giving me hugs today too. thats really cool.

Busy Mum!

Mum has been reelly busy lately. she has been up reelly early and doing a lot of things around the place and going out every few days and coming home late.

but she doesnt forget me. we have been having reelly cold days. and wet days and she covers me up with my blankets and pulls the curtin. she has been scratching my head and making shur i'm warm. 

today mum went out early.

then she came home and unpacked.

then she went out again and stayed away a long time!

she came home when it was almost dark and i was beginnning to get cold!

but she was cold too!

so she closed up all the curtins and made the house nice and warm. its late now. time for bed!

Mum Got Mad

Today Mum was expecting people. each yeer some people come by to show her some wines for her to taste and she wins a free gift. its a lot of fun and she gets to eat her aftanoon tee with peeple. so she cleened the house and put away everything and did the lawndry. but it kept on raining and she kept on brining it inside. the dryer stopped working and she got really mad that all the clothes were a bit wet or cold.

then to make things really awful the wine people didnt show up. she made dinner, ate it and it got dark and she sighed as it got late and she knew that they werent coming. silly peeple didnt call her. she was mad about it too. so when she let me out and gave me a cuddle the last thing she wanted was a bite, but she got one. i said sorry strait away and we cuddled for a bit. now its bed time, not late just time for sleep.

Lost Fethas

Its almost Winta and i have been gettting rid of my summa fethas to let my Winta ones come through.  Mum thinks its funny when I fluff up and four or fife fethas fall off me. then theres all the feathers that come off me during the day. she is really cool about it all and lets me fly around so i can get rid of some while i fly.

she told me today its going to get a lot colder and it going to rain tomorrow. i'm glad my fethas are here to keep me warm and mum is too.

Dark Weekend

On the weekend Mum was away and left the house all closed up with my covers on me. i had a lot of food but all i did was sleep most of the time until she came home. but she wasnt alone. mum brawht home her brother and riley. and she has grown a lot!  I didnt no her well but she loves me still and sayz i'm pretty too!

Riley looked at the stupid fishies and said they had grown since she last saw them. i havnt noticd. but she loves the big castle Mum bawht for them. 

last night Mum cuddled me for my first winter snuggle and i fell asleep in her hand befor she put me back to bed and put my covers on my cage. how nice is that?

Its gettting cold!

Its been getting cold a lot at night. but nothing to fear Mum has been pegging together the curtins and putting all my covers on me so i'm all nice and cozzy. she has made sure the house is nice and warm day and night and i'm in the sun most of the time too.

she has the sniffles but its okay becawse she is going okay with it all. she takes care of herself and is eating all the good things in life. she is going for her walks each day too and that is going to make her well too soon. well, its late i have to go to bed. besides my feet are getting cold running around on this and im tired.

I'm Seven!

I'm seven today. mum bought mehome on this day seven years ago and i was tawght to tawlk for a while, got outside until i ran into something really hard and she was there to help mee. then i got into a fight with anotha burdie who got on my cage.

mum took care of me for all those yeears and we are still togetha and she has takin care of me. thank you mum!

Mum's Sad

This morning Mum came downstares and was very quite. she fed the stupid fishies and got me out of the cage and gave me a cuddle and started crying. her uncle had died and she was sad. I was put on top of my cage and i watched her but i didnt know what to do, after all i'm just a birdie. so i licked the salty water off her nose and she gave me wet kiss on my wings said i was really sweet and then picked me up and gave me anotha cuddle and put me back inside the cage to changed my old seed over for breakfst food. 

she was sad all day long and ate chocolate and salty food all afternoon and watched the big talking box until it got dark. but we cuddled most of the night which i liked because i know she needed it.

Anotha Busy Weekend

Mum had anotha busy weekend of cleening the kichen! she found lots of stuff she didnt need or want and killed more icky cokroaches. but i wasnt there to see any of this! she took me up to her bedroom to sit at her window and sing to the birdies from there! i had lots of fun with the wind coming in and birdies flying by!

when she brawt me back down she smelled funny but i saw the kichen was cleanand tidy. the fishies were still swimming around and the cokroachies are all dead. the place smelled funny like mum but i think Mum got them all! 

Busy Weekend

Mum and me had a busy weekend. she was around the house working on won of tha rooms upstairs for a long time. but at night we had a big problem. late at night when she came down to put the phone on the thing that goes beep, mum found lots of cockroaches running around tha place! Yuk! so she ran around and killed them. some hid some are dead.

instead of just cleaning up she pulled apart the kitchen counta and found where they had been hiding and cleaned up that place.

that was on fryday night. but on saturday they were back and mum had to kill more of them! tha fishies were swimming around telling Mum where they were hiding and she was getting them all! Mum threw out a lot of paper that night and cleaned up even more. no more cockieroachies. but she had to clean up the house better

mum was gone all day sunday and came home to no cockies until thye came out later. i think they do this to tease her. but she got them all and she went to bed. yestaday she cleaned out the kitchen counta better than ever! big days for us all!

Visitors

Last night we had an hour of darknes. candles were lit and mum listened to some music ona little thing on the table while writing. 

today we had visitors. so mum was cooking. she was busy in the kitchen and around me cleaning and making the house look nice. then her Mum and Dad came around for coffee and things to eat. it was a good few hours. her dad sat and watched the talking box with things over his ears. her mum and her went through a green book she brawt from upstairs. they kept saying how old the photos were.

then thye all went outside and looked at the backyard. mum has been out there each day forthe last few dayz and her dad said he wanted to look at the fence. her mum tooker camera out there they talked about what she did.

its late now. and she is gettting ready for bed. i should go back to the cage. she thingks i'm in bed.

Weird Day

I had a good day. mum had a big day out. we talked and she let in the sun. i'm in my winter possie because the nights are getting cold now.

but this afternoon, i was sitting on my swing when the perch on the swing moved and i overbalanced backwards and fell. i tried really hard to stay on it but it just kept on turning. i flapped my wings hard and called out but all mum could do was laugh at me... she thawt i was funny. then she told a friend she was on the fone with. that wasnt funny that was embarassing.

Silly Me

I saw Mum taking photos the other day and thought to make a big fuss until she took one of me.

but when she came up close withthe camera i forgot how big it was and got all shy. now i look at the photos of me i think its good she took them becawse they are really good.

i like how my feathers look in this one. dont you?

New Talking Box!

Today Mum went out with her Dad promising to be home soon.  and she was! they came home with a big thin box! she moved the lounge and coffee table and all the things off that and put a towel on it and her dad attacht something on to it and they fiddled with the old talking colour box, then pulled it out of the cabinet and put it off to one side.

you see last night our talking box wasnt working beccause the box that the chanels came through were stuffing up. so Mum called her parents and suggested maybe its time to get a new channel thingy. so today, when Mums prize from the radio station came in themail, her Dad took her out and they found her a new talking box instead. this talking box was bigger, and replaced her old one and the box on top that has the chanels coming through it.

tonight mum spent all night stuffing around with the settings because it was really bright. now we both have headaches and she has covered me over and shes ready for bed. we're going to give away her old talkign box and chanel box to charity. i'm tirednow.

Mum Can't Fly

Yestaday I saw Mum come down the stairs and fall. she sat at the bottom of the stairs rubbing her feets mumbling to herself and tried to stand but sat down agin.  she hurt herself bad.  then she went out to get the milk and didnt come back for a long time. i knew it was bad when she came back and began to cry a bit after she fed me and the stupid fishies but didnt get any breakfast for herself.

she called her parents and a doctors and then was out all day. then came home with a stick to help her walk. she was very tired and sore and went to bed very early. today she had to orgnise the lounge and did something she never does. she sat down for the whole afternoon. mums left foots is bigger than her right one. she is in pain and has to stay here with me in the afternoons - how cool is that?

Autumn Is Here!

I think the seesons are changing becawse the nights are getting a bit cold. mum puts my covers on me and i'm nice and warm and she has been going to bed a little early too. its been raining and mum is planning a new garden as well. i hope she does it. i think she will this time because she is cleaning it up more than last time.

i didnt go to the vet this year. and tonight i pulled and played on my swing making mum laugh. she thought i was being silly and i gess i was. really i was trying to turn it around but it must have look funny. well i better go back to bed becawse i snuck up here to use the computa while she was at the toilet...now to get back down the stairs without her knowing!

No Vet!

I was suppos to go to the vet but i didnt go. i guess Mum thought i was okay and didnt take me. or she coulnt afford it and didntake me.  well, doesnt matter, i here at home and happily licking her nose when she's cuddling me. 

for the last few days she has been giving me grass seed from the back yard. it's becawse its been raining and Mum says if i dont eat it now it'll turn purple and flower then it wont be good for me. how good is that? so she got two big bunches and i ate all ofthem! 

Mum's Buzy Weekend

Last week we had the phone line cut by one phone compny and they expected anotha phone compny to fix it. so it took all week to get that fixt.  While Mum kept herself occupied she was reading, cleening the house and playing lots of music and she was talking to me a lot too.

Then Friday came and she went out overnight. she was gone all day and came home in the morning. it was soo good to see her. but she didnt stay for long, just to open the front window and to get her things for the gallery. but she was home that afternoon. she had an early night  beccause she was tired.

today she did the washing and played music and did a lot of painting right into the night. not much was on television. she watched an old movie she doesnt normmally watch and has gone upstairs. it's been a good weekend of music, movies and cuddles. she has had a busy one and i have enjoy the cuddles and flying around the house.

Favrite Fotos!

Mum has been taking a few fotos of me so i thought to put them here.

Check-up Soon

Next week I think Mum is going to take me to the vet to have me looked at. i'm not sick or anything but each year since i turned 5 i need to be looked at to make sure i'm well. 

last year she wasnt happy about how i was treated. this year Mum will make sure i will have my normal vet and she will be happy about it. she has been looking after me better this year than last year. but when i was there last year the new vet we had wrapt me in a towel and i dont like towels and my leg was hurt. it still hurts some days but Mum is good about me. she loves me and cared for me when that happend. i hope we get my usual vet back becawse shes nice.

Gotta A Fright

Last night Mum turned out tha light and went upstairs to have a showa when I fell off my perch and into my drinking water. she isnt shaw what happened but i think I ran into my new bell toy ova balancd and fell into the bowl and scared myself. Well! Mum came running downstairs when she heard me flapping around and found me on the side of my cage all wet! she picked me up and cuddled me until we began talking to each other and she searched my cage for any cockies and the rest of the house in case therewas something else that had bothered me instead. Isnt she grate? Afta her showa Mum came back down stairs and searched again to make sure I was okay and was happy that I fell into my bath on my own.  silly me!
