Visited our local chickens yesterday, not quite as cheery as yours, but still pretty jolly

Loving the chat! Rubberised ... tick boxes for free cakes ... visits (yay!) .... bring it on

Hey up all

Late lunch here

Been working (3hours) and had a cuppa with a chum who came here to use our machine for a bit of hokeycoking.

Petrol into the car (£30) and need think about booking MOT for next week.

Chickens (outdoors) are non rubberised but wellies for them might be nice
Rubberised chicken awaiting demeating and straining and splitting up (meat to humans, skin and yek bits to be doggified in small portions, bones to be ground up - I'm determined to fathom a way to do that properly) -- I hate doing it - but it makes so much more food/sense to use it all - makes me feel a better meat eater eating all of it. It lived to feed me therefore I should respect it and use it all. (still yukky though - but will be done in a flash)

starnac - thank you - one day you never know.................:) cheery I'm sorry the chooks are missing you too! I'm doing you a parcel which you'll love but its not from the chickens!
KC - DD is indeed a very canny lass - and knows how much OH loves cakes - what a brilliant present - gorgeous little card too for which I'm very grateful to LT for

Now I've another couple hours work to do
Gamerchops needs a lift to near town and therefore has to hoover when home [insert evil laugh]
OH needs a lift to maintown - to pick up his van - therefore combining the trips later
Got a hat/coat stand to drop off from the womblepod and xmas cards to pick up/eggs to drop off enroute

I need get a cuppa and do a bit paperwork! Hope you'reall good - if I'm quick I might pop over a few fences - don't think I don't care (I do, I'm just trying to limit internet a bit) xxxx

All this talk of recycling Christmas Cards has taken me back many years to when I was sat down after Christmas with Mum's pinking shears and the pile of cards to make next years Gift Labels

That's what I always do but I have to supplement them with bought ones :eek:

Karmacat

I have a stash of gift cards thats going to last me the rest of my life :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: once you take recycling the nice ones into account, I'll be sending them from the beyond just to get shot of them :D:D

Hey up all lovely card idea up there!

I have pinky cutterz finger Maty!

We are making label and card to put on ebay when we get our charity through the vetting!

I'm porridged up, blogged out and being called by the womble motherland - have a great day - it horrid here - ergh - not a great day to be working in and oot.

I'm with KC on this one. I keep every card that's sent to me, and either re-use them on my own cards, or use a fancy cutter to take certain bits off, like 'Christmas wishes to my Sister' - which comes in handy. I've got enough stashed stuff to keep me going for years!

I send less and less cards now, and apologies if I have your address and didn't send a card, but I've just found a load in the side pocket of the car.

Happy wombling!

MrsMoo2U

you would be more than welcome here in Mid Wales too Pippi. Lots of nice places to park Darwin up and a warm cosy house if the wind gets up too. Do you have any plans for this years holibobs.

Morning all, slept in! Must have needed it eh?

How are you all, mrsM I'll start me plans soon, we need get Darwin in for a 'ok how much will it cost chat' but first there's the little normal car to mot/insure next week.

Gilligan I'm the same with cards

Ok today

Chooks fed
Sconage in the oven, had some sour milk to use up from the freezer
A walk perhaps?


I'm not adjusting well to this one day weekend malarkey, need fathom more time off through the week.

However saying that I've literally had more than two full weeks off......and hours to make up!

Hope you're all splendid. I. In need of a cuppa and a look at the bank!

scones ready in 6 mins, happy to dish some out. Must do more baking later for the week and avoid any purchases of food.

I feel a meal plan coming on.
