Sorry I just need to respond to your "creamed at least £150 "I feel sorry for the people over charged,I really do but you can`t feel it is right for them to be out of pocket and you £35 up?
No harm is meant by this post.If you are happy with claiming DTD then all well and good,but I`m not.It takes all sorts in the world.

I totally misread this before, I missed the 1st few lines in red.

NO i don't feel happy about customers being out of pocket but I can't check their receipts for them.

All I can do is claim a DTD whether I knew about it before hand or spotted it after checkin my receipt, therefore getting the label removed to stop other people thinking there paying less, but getting charged more.

I wasn't £35 up, as I had paid £35 for the chickens in the 1st place, they just refunded me what I had already paid, the only way I was up was I got my 5 chickens for free.

Just thought I would clear that up. I have never had a DTD where I have made a cash profit. And I only go for DTD on things we use, eat, need.

TBH I am a very moody/depressive person so I don't tell people how I feel unless I'm 100% certain I would feel like it in a rational frame of mind, most of the time I know it's the depression talking.

The one with the babysitter trouble is just Mrs Unreliable 2001-2011 (how long I've known her), she always has an excuse of some sort, or she just doesn't turn up!

I won't go if I feel like this on the day, I can't hide my emotions at all so I'd be better off not going than going and upsetting people.

Hope your DH is ok now?

Yes thanks he got the all clear 2yrs ago !:T At the time it was hard not telling people. But I do understand how you feel. If someone does this all the time then she really isn't worth it.
I would just not ask her the next time!
Really if you were looking forward to something don't let anyone else spoil it. If 2 others are going to leave early - let them - you might find the craic gets started and they end up staying, so a bonus for you and the others.

I try never to rely on others, just make the most of each situation and take it for what it is ! Its their loss:mad:
You sound like a super friend trying to organise something like this .:T

oooh, I can't remember exactly when, I started on the farm in Jan 98, it was only supposed to be for a few weeks while the other guy went for an op. £2 an hour (cash in hand) the tight sod paid me.:eek: I had to cycle to work in all weathers, worked late nearly every night, sometimes during the harvest I would work 3 or 4 days nonstop grabbing 5 minutes sleep whenever possible. Officially I finished working on the farm in 2002? when the boss died but I did go back an odd time to help his wife out. She was a horrible horrible woman and I couldn't wait to get away after her hubby died but once he died she turned into the nicest person ever.:eek:

God that's awful! My mum was seriously ill in the last years of the farm so I did the wages instead, I know we paid our worker Nathan the minimum wage, I think it was around £4 an hour? Not sure, I remember looking through the minimum wage requirements and making sure to increment on his birthday. He was wonderful, we gave him a bonus of about £150 when he left as he practically ran the place (my dad selfishly kept it going even though he was too frail to run it and didn't care that it caused nothing but stress when more stress was that last thing we needed).

Weird about his wife, though my Dad didn't give a s*** about my mum when she was alive but when she died in 2002 he cried like you wouldn't believe it. Still can't get my head around that but hey-ho, he died in 2004 so it's all old news now! Probably sounds callous but my dad let me down so much I gave up with him!

OMG what happened?

No comment!:eek::eek:

Reminds me of an accident I had when I had a brief spell working on another farm near Fyvie.

The main road that runs along the bottom of the village has a 50mph limit and if you want to turn right to go up through the village you have to pull in to a middle lane. I pulled in to the middle lane, turned right and BAM. The car coming the opposite direction came to a hault 100yds up the road, my front wheel totally ripped the drivers side of the car off. When I got to the car his baby was strapped in to it's baby seat behind the driver:eek:

I genuinely did not see that car coming, he was going at such a speed and he must have been in my blind spot whenever I checked. Police did an investigation and the same thing happened a couple of weeks later with another farmer at about the same time. Cops but it down to a combination of winter sun, blind spot in the tractors cab and speed of the oncoming driver. Thankfully they put it down to "just one of those things"
