I'm just saving any melted fat off roast dinners or the grill and putting dried fruit, bits of bread and nuts etc, mould it all together then letting it harden off, they love it

We've stocked up on bird food and also saving any worthwhile scraps, the garden is full of birds digging around for tit bits, the starlings here keep trying to get into out bird house! they just don't fit, will have to get an extension! I have started making my own fat balls too.

Started off with a beautiful sunny, crisp morning again, after another hard frost, gradually clouding over now with the odd sunny spell.

A very hard hoare frost last night. Freezing fog this morning, quite dense in places, the sun is there but it's just not getting through properly.

Highest gust in the Mersey area was recorded by Crosby coastguard at 68mph and that was on the coast.

This was on Watchdog last night, they didn't think it would be so popular and that so many people would win I'm sure Anne Robinson said Walkers where suspending it or something?
