    hi BOS!! :hello: got any pics of the new arrival?

    We didn't get her, traffic was so bad we had to turn around, were collecting her tomorrow. I've just been out to water all the vegetables and they've just all toddled into the coop and put themselves to bed.
    I love them to bits, they're so sweet natured.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    That'd be cute!
    We have a weatherproof cover for the coop when it gets bad, they like shredded newspaper in their nests because it keeps their feathery little bottoms nice and toasty warm.

    Evening all,

    Back from Asda and spent £108.:eek::eek::eek: The store cupboard and freezer are full and will keep me going until the OH comes home in 2.5 months.

    I did buy a pair of jim jams and text him before hand to ask if it was ok? :rotfl:I know, what can I say. He found it very funny!

    Pooky, I love the stuff you've made.

    BOS - hello.

    Bookie - you'll find something to spend those vouchers on very soon.

    PAP - hello, we've been worried about you.

    We'll there was a spit of rain and then taht was it!! Driving home the sunset was lovely, a mixture of reds and pinks.

    Oooh, what new arrival, is it another chicken? Or a pig to paint blue for the kids to throw chickens at?!

    Back from my meal, it turned out to be six courses with five wines, all for £33. Had a great night but now I'm a bit tipsy.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
