The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Lemon_Tree

just checked out your stripey store, and it's just proven how much we are alike - you've no polish in the house! glad to see you've specified which shampoo and conditioner is for peedie. I have decided that seeing mash on your list is much worse than seeing a g'pig in your freezer!

Hi, congratulations on getting the house. I am so excited for you. I missed the picture but based on the other ones that you put up I am sure it is lovely. It sounds like my kind of place.
My OH just had his contract ended and so I have been looking on line for jobs for him I found a great one in Orkney but he wasnt qualified. It was a countryside ranger. I have told him that if he finds a job back there I would be happy to go tomorrow! You never know we might be asking if you have a room to rent! I am also intrigued by the fake woodburner. we have storage heaters (hate them) and would love a wood burner but the house doesnt have any chimneys as it is a new modern box. I too love beachcombing and I walk in the forest with my Great Dane every day so there is loads of wood here.
Oh for a country cottage. Imagine living in Wales and still I dont get my country retrreat!

Cant wait to hear your next instalment.

Hiya Cherisong
Will OH apply anyway - sometimes there are lots of applicants for jobs -sometimes hardly any.......might be worth a shot?

Calor gas fake woodburners HERE

Electric woodburner fakers POSH ONES HERE not so posh ones HERE


Not the same as the real thing - our first way in is to ask if we can open up a fireplace - if we can't then I'll look hard at something like those - we've a cheap one already - which doesnt look brilliant but nice than a radiator - and with flikering candle light doesnt look so bad.........basket of logs beside it, slight squint as you look at it.....:)

G pig
Hamster
Blackbird
Wren
Housemartin
Puffin

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:its a very very long story :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Its one of the reasons I started a diary..........................dunno how to put it succinctly - some are old pets who are dearly departed and as yet not quite buried - some we were given - I've always had odd things in the freezer

OK - not sure I actually want to confess this but - here goes:
[disclaimer - all the dead things currently and in the past that have been in my freezer ALL died of natural causes]

Non edible things in the freezer are currently:

Two tubs of lush frozen gel stuff
Bloodworms for the fish
Said Guinea pig's chum who died later and we have decided to bury in a nice pot here
A Puffin that someone gave us for a friend who is a naturalist artist - for her to draw - its beautiful not a mark on it - only issue is that it is dead
A jack snipe that I was given at work today to ID - its there until I can get it verified by a bird expert.

IN the past we have had:
Eagles - being invesigated incase it was killed illegally
Lamb milk
Cow special calf milk
Eagles poo - lots of it for a pal who was researching sea eagles on Mull
Puffins - see one below
Corncrakes - for ex ex ex's work
Gold crest - being kept until the kids came home from dads to show them it
Mostly for research things - don't most folk have various birds of prey


Isnt it the same in most households???We keep food in there too. Just not on the same shelf.

HB I found the confession post of over a year ago - just for you

My dead things have gone down a bit in some cases and we've acquired a few this year

fay has a reputation in her area as the person who's willing to freeze any dead bird that they may find. i still expect the guinea pig to be buried at some stage though.

LT I promise - its now ear marked for the aurucaria (monkey puzzle tree) cos that one is special enough in DS opinion - and we've got the pot etc now

Will do it for the new house and have him slighly less chilled at that place........:o

I think I did know a bit of that, I'd just never got the full story, & seeing them all listed got me wondering :rotfl:
