the daydream fund challenge thread

Rummer

Choille I think you might have been lucky finding both! Especially together!

Haven't got out to do anything this week as every time there was a fine day I had visitors! They have all now gone until Christmas (?) so hopefully there will be a little tidying done next week.

No money to go into fund this week, maybe a little next month but have to have car serviced and checked for all NCT (MOT) things, pay car insurance and deal with various birthdays so unless there is very serious cost cutting there will be nothing to save.

Good luck to all

Marie I have been trying to get the garden tidy but the weather has been so wild everytime I have had the opportunity to spend time in the garden so it is a mess! I have even been thinking about getting a gardener to keep the front smart and tidy and then I can focus my attention on the veg and greenhouse.

By the number of your post Lotus Eater it's no wonder you won't know about church stuff!:eek:

I sometimes wonder about church stuff, then I realise, that if the sort of luck hits me when I reply on this thread, all the time, then I might as well give up.
I mean, 666, without even trying. Says it all really.


Luckily, I don't believe in any of that magical bean stuff, but if I did, I would begin to wonder.

Duh! Had the answer and I didnt know why!

No work today, far too wet outside and I'm just clagging up the soil. How do those of you with animals cope with the feeding etc......wellies and a souwester?

When I had my horse I had waterproof trousers and a huge water proof jacket with a hood that pulled tight. I used to pull them over my PJs for the early mornings!

I only have chickens, but use a warm dressing gown, cloggies and a big hat in heavy rain I have a coat used on the oil rigs, waterproof and yellow.

Rummer

Comfy, warm and dry are the main parts I didn't care what I looked like! I forgot to mention the rubber gloves and wellies!

choille

I wear wellies most of the year. I could do with some new waterproofs, as what I've got is jiggered, but will have to make do at the moment.

Was it wet across the water today? It was lovely here. DW and I were still in T shirts when it got dark. Seem to remember some good days this week last year too, though we were in Carmarthenshire then, on holiday.

I think we're in for some nasty stuff now though, and if it washes off the roads I won't complain. The farmers have been harvesting the last of the maize and bringing all of the chopped-up dead stuff back to do whatever they do with it, so there's mud and chaff everywhere in the lanes. :rolleyes:

I'm told that youngsters can drive tractors at 16, and as they tend to motor-on, I'm getting used to diving into the hedge, because my 3.5 tonne van is no match for some of the beasts they drive around here. Last night, DW was astonished to meet two tractors after 11pm, but her friends explained that the lads use them in the evening to visit their girlfriends! And I thought that Wurzels song about the combine harvester was far fetched...:rotfl:
