  • Thanks for the advice about the bath and the oven. I don't think my house has had this good a clean since it was built and that was 1960:rotfl:

    Pigpen I will try value toothpaste then.
    Greenbee I did start over the oven shelves but at least it saved me having to ask about the bath later in the week:o

    Off into town later to declutter some post then I will make a start on my bedroom. Will have a look for the astonish stuff while I am there.
    Hope everyone is ok.;)

    Hi guys, a chicken tractor is a moveable chicken coop. My hens are double jobbers. They clear the ground and lay eggs. We have 12 hens and now two tractors. They've just cleared a patch of ground beautifully and it's about to be planted up with pumpkins :)
