    Guided fungal foray sounds fab. Have fancied doing those too. Look forward to hearing delights from that!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • I'm alive!!!!

    This was the third fungal foray we've been on Watty and I'm signed up for next year - I'm not confident enough to pick mushrooms without an expert there to tell me if it's edible or not!

    One member of our group found a large cauliflower mushroom :cool:

  • I think we got off fairly lightly with the storm - only 1 branch down from trees at the bottom of the garden and it missed the chicken run... just :eek: One of my colleagues has no power :(

    My journey to work wasn't much fun though - a 25-mile drive that normally takes 45 minutes took me 2 hours and 10 minutes as the road was blocked in 2 places :(

    My day didn't get much better when I got to work and now I have a headache. It's a real stonker that has beaten 2 lots of painkillers :(

  • What a beautiful morning :D

    The sun is shining, I got to work in 35 minutes (considerably better than yesterday and 10 minutes better than normal due to half-term), my stonking headache has gone and Natty is back :T

    Still no heating on for heating purposes - it was a bit chilly this morning but then I did have the windows open to try and rid the house of the smell of spicy pear pickle...

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Received a free copy of the December edition of Olive magazine through the RM survey :T

    It'll soon be pay day and then I can shuffle my money and make a huge MOP :D

    Definitely having an early night tonight - I'm pooped!

    Sorry for the rushed message the morning MWC, I've has a quick skeck* on your diary and am glad to see all the chooks are well and I hope Ms MWC's eggs are back to high quality standard. Also just to double check IN CASE I've missed anything, but are B, G and LRH all oakydoaky?

    Glad to see you're also keeping both Mary Berry and Kirstie Allsop suitably in awe of your home cooking/baking/crafting talents:D

  • Hi Natty :wave:

    Misses B, G & LRH are all very well. Miss LRH still trys to jump in the treat bucket every morning :D They, and Miss D, are the only chooks laying fairly regularly with the odd egg from Miss M too. Miss MWC hasn't laid since the last softie but seems to be well in herself. The remaining 3 are also freeloading!

  • Just back from a walk through town (where I managed to buy some bargainous ripe melon for tomorrow's chicken treat :T...) and I was shocked to see that the Christmas decorations are up :eek:
    Not sure when the big switch-on is but it's not even November... :(

    Decs up in Oxford St and even this old cynic was impressed with Selfridges window displays :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
