    hi Saorsie!

    Yep I love my girls too, (although this was tested this morning).... the beautiful golden yellow yolks make all the insane clucking noises we make so worth it though - dont they?

    Have a good weekend folks :beer:. Indulegent but stroppy birthday on Sunday (so the happyfarm should be full of hungry and thirsty mouths) x

    Loving your diary already!!:D...and I am so jealous of your chickens and your farm!:(

    You are doing really well paying off the debt so far and I'm sure the rest will be gone in no time.

    Looking forward to reading more of your diary.

  • Hello & welcome. Such a funny start :) ... and a soon to be fellow Rayburn user, I love mine, there's something very comforting about it.

    Good luck.

    Glad you have found MSE to refocus your efforts. The amount of information on here to help clear debt quicker is amazing.


    I take it during your debt busting you have checked that all of your utilities are with the cheapest providers for your usage, ditto insurances as well.

    Also have you discovered cash back sites like quidco and topcashback? Great for online spends you would do anyway.

    good luck with the journey, and love the chicken story LOL

    i shall be checking for wonky bricks tonight and if I find any - Iwill booby trap the portaloo which currently looks like an orange tardis is in front of the living room window

    I have been thinking about this (on account of I am bored at work and I have an unhealthy fascination with non-flushing loos, the reason for which I suspect you wouldn’t want to know), and I reckon this would not be a good idea, seeing as it it is right outside your living-room window and you are no doubt already being traumatised with the sight of builder’s bum … are you yet forming a picture?

    Why is it orange? And why is it in such close proximity to your sitting-room window? And how ... no, I'll leave it there.

    Which yet I have not seen;"
    I'd love to be a good example - instead, I am a horrible warning.
