    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.
    .

    I haven't laughed so much with nobody else in the room in ages!

    Thanks guys!

    Ok, I REALLY need to go and write that letter now. You're all such a bad influence on me! (is it because I'm one of the young 'uns of the group?!)

    hi love the diary, not sure my piggies would like a visit to the freezer though. Going to have to subscribe as it's good to see something so light hearted yet determined if you know what i mean.

    Hi Lemon Tree
    Ace name - GPiggies very safe - we loved ours - xxx

    Thanks for seeing the determined bit - its difficult amoung my calamatous sp? life to see it sometimes.

    We three are a v happy bunch - living alternatively on an island etc has been a real lifestyle choice - but it comes at a bit of a financial penalty I think, although I wouldn't change it for the world.

    I tried to live on the 'mainland' in a town and it just didn't work for us - we were use to being out in the sticks on a farm - unfortunately for me Daddy had the farm and the job and the house so we left it all - but slowly but surely our 'normal farmy-island-life' has resumed.

    My new OH on the mainland has a nice job and we could have stayed there - but we wanted our 'island' stuff back.

    He visits when he can but thinks we three are bonkers!!

    Thanks for your kindness xx

    See guys - I am lighthearted and determined - Lemon Tree said so..........:)

    I'm with you Kt! The most exciting thing I have ever had in the freezer is vodka. Although I did once put a shoe in the fridge.

    Note to self - stay on the right side of Fay!

    I once lost my keys and later found them in the fridge. Can you start going senile at 25??
