Making chicken feed of my mortgage
Comments

MWC - that dinner does indeed sound lush! Erm, YIKES :eek: to the snow though. Congratulations on the win - I hope there is some sort of remunerative prize on top of the credit/recognition/small article in the company magazine
bah to silly HR negotiations tho - and *vegetarian*, potentially veggie munching, chickens tooBut we can't help but love them still (the chickens - not HR)
:D Perhaps one of the *aunties* will stump up compensation
Have a wonderful time in the US - isn't this the west-coast epic?

Never mind, at least I have a job
I should have checked the weather forecast before I packed - cold and raining heavily, chance of snow :eek: Today's outfit includes white linen trousers and sandals :rotfl:
Miss Gladys and/or Miss Beryl (Mr MWC can't tell the difference!) keeps escaping from the chicken run into the vegetable garden :eek: At the moment she's happy digging in the bark but how long before she discovers that there are tasty things growing in the raised beds... fortification required when I get home.

It's a good job Greying posted about the chooks - I missed a post :eek:
Chicken passports required for Mr MWC and as they try to come through customs he can send them back. Good luck with the fortification plans.
White linen trousers and snow - I don't think anyone will have seen that combo before
