    Fay!! these sparkles have gone to your head, two lists in one day!! Am I allowed to ask what you're doing in the field? Obviously looking fabulous, but what else?

    I'm still chuckling at the chicken cooking in the airing cupboard and Norton's other half as Tinkerbell...

    OH has just booked us a short break in a log cabin in the lakes for November, at first this may not sound very dfw but bear in mind that this originally started as a two week holiday in the sun, so I may be rubbing off on him after all;) ;)
    Looks like walking boots and thermals will be the order of the day and not suncream.:p Must remember to pack my sparkles:rotfl:

    Watch out he doesnt get covered in sparkles!!!! Hmm me displacing hence two lists in one day - sorry - i am supposed to be writing instead i am ferverently saving money - all good.

    In the field (in my newly acquired sparkles and my stripey socks which are free to wear and make me laugh cos research is supposed to be serious ahem) I am looking, scratching my head, and willing to grow 13 different energy willow types and seeing which ones dont sulk and grow well here to see if we can grow some renewable energy here - some are definately sulking!!!!!! Some are growing like stink. My mission is to cover the world in flowers.....

    Regarding the chicken and lack of cooking, do you think my newly found old fashioned airing cupboard would cook one quicker than the afformentioned slow cooker?? (my chickens are looking very alarmed right now!!)

    Being nosey i guess was wondering today if it was ok to ask what do other folk do
