Had a call from Mel re a bird that I applied for, told me that she will be giving my details to my local ACO for a home check to be completed....... ..........it's been like preparing for the Queen coming to stay here ever since...... ....the wifes driving me nuts lol.
Any advice for the home check? I'm armed with choccy biscuits already...... |

Know how you feel. When we got our call from Mel it was so exciting. Of course I was then on tenterhooks and jumped everytime the phone rang. Our ACO Helen rang when were in midst of tea and when she explained she hadn't got a car we said we'd go and fetch her. 15mins of panic then ensued as she said she could come that evening. Quick cage clean, pots washed, etc and off we trots. Gets some biccies on the way from Tesco and it turned out that she is wheat intolerant... Shucks, that meant me and T now had 3 packs to eat all to ourselves! All went well and we are now the proud parents of Nimbus. I'm sure it will turn out fine. All the bestxxxxx |

I remember those feelings of panic and longing, and it's nearly a year ago now. AND a second time earlier this year, that was sooo emotional too.
Don't worry, as everyone says, be yourself, talk birdies, it'll be great. I'm sure the end result will be happy.
Enjoy.
Sue

Yorkshire is gods own country.....I know that as i was born there in a little place called Halifax
By the way if you go up there for a holiday dont drink coffee ask for tea & cake...they make a smashing pot o tea and a slice of parkin
