Choille, I agree with others. DON'T leave an inner ear infection untreated. If you've lost balance get to A&E. Tonight!

I had an inner year infection a few months ago, I would be standing there one minute, and the next i would go all dizzy and disorientated sp? the doc give me a coarse of anti-biotics and i was fine...

You might not have a inner ear infection.... this is why you really do need to see or speak to someone...

we all care about you choille.... you are part of our 'cyber-family' .....we all worry

Jane what breed of pigs do you get?

I would love to have pigs if/when i get land... I have subscribed to a pig magazine... comes out every quarter.... I have friends who used to keep and breed pigs, but they stopped as it wasnt comercially viable. as their source of free waste food came to an end... and they worked it out if they had to soley feed them pig nuts etc it would cost more to rear and slaughter them per kg than what price they would get for selling them..

I got told if i did ever get pigs.. to try and get some buyers for suckling pigs... ( supposed to be a good niche in selling direct to 'posh' nosh places and high end butchers in london etc...)

I got mainly hybred chickens bluebells and some cochins... but i have been thinking of getting some utility breeds/eggs for the coming year...

I tried to buy suckling pigs about eight\nine years ago for a meal and it was impossible and fearsomely expensive, same price as a grown pig.

Fwiw I was really annoyed with Jewish in laws and was planning the wedding recpetion st the time, not just going on pork fest. Instead we eloped.

Could you have a word with my DD about that? You know, lay it on a bit thick about the romantic excitement of it etc etc.... :rotfl:

Our chooks do not pay for themselves, especially since we lost our source of free feed. We've been charging 90p a half dozen for the eggs, but they'll be going up to £1 when we begin selling again. We have no problem shifting them to the folk on our waiting list.

LIR..ive PMd you....

alfie_1

ive been asked 3 times to get married ...
1 was a sweet man but only knew him 3 months :eek:
2nd was desperate to please his very strict religeous parents ..after 4 years..
3rd was a desperate attempt to "get me back" after 5 years.

SO i am either one of those that fear tying the knot, or i attract "needy", men OR i am unlivable with ....:rotfl:

Really not sure tbh, had Berkshires and Saddlebacks in the past, and I'm kinda erring towards Gloucester Old Spots, but still not 100%. What's everyone's preference?

Have you got any ducks at the mo CTC?
