Cleaned out chickens today, new one has started laying little eggs even though she is not a bantam - maybe it's just her age, she's about 23 weeks so a young 'un.
Night shifts tonight and tomorrow so will be like the walking dead on Saturday.

Hmmmm home made cheese straws sound lovely. Have been such a food pig lately. Mostly boredom and possibly hormone implant. Cheese straws would not last long around me.
Reading One Day on my kindle and it's annoying me now. Just getting annoyed that the 2 main characters haven't got together yet but also don't think they are suited.
OH is off out fixing a PC for his x boss. So I have glass of wine, cat, kindle and Come Dine with Me for company. Oh and all the lovely money savers
How are you getting on with One Day? I loved it, as did the rest of my book club, but I know people who hated it. I think it's a love or hate kind of book.Job interview tomorrow with National Blood Service - better job, better pay and a foot in the NHS (Want to be a sexual health nurse eventually!!) any tips - especially if you're in the NHS! eeeek
Good luck with the interview, and you too Butti.
I've had to accept that I'm not going to get an essay in today. I'm going to fill in a special circumstance form, the last few weeks have been awful, loads of panic attacks.
It's good to be back on mse though, I've missed it!Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
Ames~Its good to see you :wave:
