Pippi’s pulling up her stripey-socks for the final sprint towards the Good-Life……………

You're good at juggling and thinking hard Pippi, you'll manage! :T

LT, bluey purple is fine in a rug - but less so in your legs... :eek: hope you manage to get it sorted out soon

If you find some motivation Pippi can I share it?! Been trying for the best part of half an hour to copy a chapter into a new document - Word just keeps shutting down :mad: ended up doing it a paragraph at a time for a while, adn that worked for a bit, but now it won't even copy one over before conking out :mad: Bl**dy computers!

congrats for getting paid, but blah to it being the last one, glad you've found the invigilating to help the patchwork lifestyle.
I'm not sure about starting a diary (unless you want more space on yours ) but i can certainly post piccies of piggies. Though we've discovered that one has gone blind in one eye. Came on suddenly and now her eye is a milky blue/white. Tis strange.

this was Bella when she was little


is was G'roo when she was little

and this is Douglas

I don't want more space - just nice to hear more about your piggies etc

They look lovely!

*I've still got alot of willow - shame faced not posted any yet*

Cheery - I'm all out of inspiration - I've taken an executive decision not to clean for you coming (aside the normal tidy up) and I'm very happy - good sign of a decent friendship I think. And, whilst we're often minging - we're not proper disgusting!

Patchworky life here I come - eek. Oh getting rid of two of the new boy chook - a chap at work wanted one - I offered him a BOGOFF deal :rotfl:

They go tomorrow, before I get attached and gooey - I don't want to get into the rearing/killing thing - and if I don't want to do that - they need rehomed - 2 down/1 to go.

Save it under a new file name. Shut word down and bring it back up. Load the new file, and try it from there.

'glad' you boy chucks have found homes. I take it they will be gracing someones table?
just felt i should clarify for the sake of Douglas's ego that he's a rabbit not a piggie. He's a bit bigger than the photo now, and a bit older. He's a very fine rabbit who doesn't like being confined to his hutch during winter, he prefers to be free range in his run.

Moved the hens today - indoors to the byre - sold 1 doz eggs and my edit grid sheet (free online tool) https://www.editgrid.com/ for my shiny new 'on the way to the goodlife' has been started link here - today I earned £2 - I'm going to add it all up - find out if we can manage!

Reduced shopping consisted of a loaf of bread 25p, pot of cream 30p and not much else - well it was a saturday after all................

Money link above (to remind me)

Cancelled kids dd phones and contract PAY thing - off to check out quidco for a deal or two

Reduced my mobile - so need update my own sheet.

£2 eggs today -

Need to enquire about the year before teaching - but will do that in Jan - for a bit of money coming in then

Oh LT, they're gorgeous! :T :T Douglas is such a fab name for a bunny :j

Thanks Z, will try that tomorrow. Came to realisation that I've transferred all I *need* to be working on tonight, and while having the whole chapter is nice, it's not necessary to do it today, I'm just creating excuses not to get on with it So I'll do that tomorrow - might have reconsidered after being switched off for the night anyway!

Excellent stuff Pippi! Well sold on the egg front, and well got rid of on the chicken front :T and good grief - there really is no need to clean up for us! :eek: Gosh, I can just imagine what I'd be like if someone was coming to stay here without me being here - I'd be all over the place - and then I'd decide that if they liked me enough to do that, they could take me as they found me Sign of a good friendship indeed :j :j

Not doing well on the inspiration front here either Decided to carry on working til 9pm - so head down til then... <yawn>

KC that's definitely proper snow - we've got a little bit but nothing like that level!

Hurrah to homes for boy chickens too - regardless of where they're ending up from here it's the right decision to rehome them if they can't earn their keep with you. Glad to hear that the firls are still earning their keep though!

Morning! Yep, its definitely proper snow ooh, my icicles have started dripping again! Literally! They were doing it for about half an hour after sunrise, then it clouded over and they stopped, but now they've started again! Maybe its going? Mind you, the forecast is baaadddd..... and everything's looking really grey, like we're about to get a whole load more dumped on us hmmmm.
