    I'm back :wave:

    Trying to get back into a routine now the DCs are back at school, although they had Yesterday off so will not et back into 'normal' routine til next week :cool:

    Chooks have settled in :D The first couple of days they produced 8 eggs :D but since then nothing much at all just a couple, i am putting this down to moving house and losing feathers!!! My father on the other hand thinks its because the DCs like to go into the run and feed them....................so he has but a padlock on the run :mad: and we can't go in at all :mad: So much for sharing them :( I am really disappointed and upset as the DCs and i absolutely love the chooks and don' really care whether we get eggs or not :p to us eggs are a bonus!!!!!! Will be going down next week on my own to try and find out what is going on!!!!! Plain and simple he has taken all the joy out of chook ownership :(

    Money saving like mad ........ car has developed a strange whiring sound to o with the creaks, groans and squeaks :eek: So its either a new to me car or repair this one ....decisions decisions?????

    I've put a couple of things on fleabay one of them has 48 watchers but only a small bi so i am hoping it flys at the end :o The otr item has no watchers and no bids :eek: Ah well...we will have to see, fingers rossed x

    Hope everyone is well and enjoy ya weekend x

    Went to the docs on Tuesday o the smoking clinic and am now having another go at giving up the evil weed with champ!x my stop date is

    Friday 13th May :eek: Crikey i hope its not an omen :rotfl:

    Ebay item is now up to £33 with 48 watchers :D and other item still has no bids :(

    Called at parents yesterday and chooks hae only laid 1 egg since my pa padlocked the run to keep us out, so it looks to me like he can't blame us for the lack of eggs :D

    Hope everyone has a fab weekend :D
