  • Cheri eek to oh dad! Yeah you're both right we need to keep her mind off things - keep her busy too maybe she can make the egg chart!!

    Or I'll task her with the hens. :) totally want to be there for her, I hope she also chills a bit. If she can relax all will be well and dandy

    I've put a stuffed dragon in her bedroom! She's welsh therefore the dragon and does have a sense of humour!

    :)

  • Bravo indeed - loving the chicken targets - have you got them a little egg chart on the wall?? :rotfl:


    Cheery - Brilliant idea! Pippi - Let us loose with some safety scissors, a pr!tt stick, a big piece of cardboard, some leftover wallpaper and some felt tipped pens ................Every hen could have it's own coloured 'egg', there could be gold stars for 'double yolks', Cherisong could provide motivational quotes for reluctant layers.................

    Can everyone tell it's raining here and I'm being kept out the garden............:rotfl:

    EDIT: Pippi gave the task to someone else :(

    love the egg chart plan but you've got to let each chicken pick her favourite colour. But i do worry about poor Einstein how is he going to feel when he's not able to get a star on the chart? you're going to have to find a way in which he can contribute.
    Had some fun in the garden yesterday without feeling guilty and it was lovely :)

    Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.

    Ooooo I love Escape to the Country............ even though I have. Mind you that Jules is rather lovely (and he lives near here too). I just watched one on Ceredigion (my current home county) and it helped me remember why I love it. Then I watched one on Cheshire (my last home county) and it helped me to remember why I loved it.

    hello all, pretty tired today. Stepped on scales :(, didn't realise my weight has crept up that high. So really need to do something about it. How is everyone?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
