And i am just about to have cuppa t and a abiscwit.

Now i have convinced my self i NEED a cauldron. I have a Peace lily a friend gave me that is from the lant she has nutured for over forty years! Its such a kind gift of something that means something to her and i need to put it in something. I thought an old cauldron would be suitably big and not too shiny for my house. I net they are expensive, right?

A bog standard cast iron large cooking pot maybe £25-35 (collected)

Here's one that went for £20

CTC, we're busy gardening and cleaning, just unblocked a fridge drainage hole (lovely!) and packed the car for tomorrow's boot. Had two bad weeks at the boot after 6 months good. Not sure whats going wrong Not helped by Ebay sales slowdown either. People spending less on non-essentials?

When i used to do the bootsales, and ebay on a very regular basis years ago, this time of the year was allways naff, kids are just about to break up from school, expensive prom dresses etc to pay for, people were watching the pennies as they knew the kids would eat them out of house and home in the holidays...Plus i think the weather has been sooooooooooooooo naff that it doesnt give you the feel good factor to go out and spend a bit of money...

I found with the bootsales, it was when the kids went back to school that things picked up a bit, ready for christmas:D

Got someone to fence our first pig paddock, they are start doing it on tuesday :T I know it might look like a cop out from doing the fencing;) but we havent got the time, plus the right equipment to knock those strengthener posts in properly...

We have decided we are def going to save and have a look around for a midi digger to buy...We would def get our money's worth out of it... with the work that needs doing...



Now would you call this 'cheeky':D or just trying to 'drum up' some business interest a good idea? I was thinking of surfing the old internet for vintage sellers, shops etc, and emailing them a link to my ebay listings of the bulk buy vintage stuff, what do you think? As I am hoping to find repeat buyers/bidders...

LIR hope you injoyed your cuppa and biscwit... which is a good idea.... so i am going to have a well deserved cuppa and a jamme dodger biscwit:p

Well my rabbit trap caught something, I was happy that something was moving around in there and trying to work out what it was through the hole, when my DD pointed out that it sounded like one of our cats........ which it was LOL.

Stupid cat and stupid rabbit, which has now bitten through a load of my new expensive pea netting. :mad:

Sorry, I know other people have worse problems atm. Love to you all.

When i started getting interested in applied positive reward training i asked a trainer about a few things, and he kept saying, you have to outwit the animal.

Eventually i explained in somecases i was not sure i could. He smiled.

I asked for examples of how to outwit certain behaviours and never got anything than smug smile and 'arte you seiously telling me you cannot outwitthe animal in that situation). Never mind avoiding negative aspects to training animals i wanted to slap him for his smugness and regusal to give example answers.
