    Breathe. Keep going. Heat something from the freezer to eat. Take care of yourself, your humans and your chickens - the rest can be sorted :kisses3:

    Thank you :kisses3: but that's one thing I don't need to worry about! As we're visiting my aunt first, I'm packing un-ironed clothes (and even some dirty washing :o)

    And I haven't forgotten that I need to get my uncle's pasta & beans recipe for you :)

    Hey hun! I'll look forward to putting it on the meal-planner for December, so that I then have it in my repertoire for the winter months.

    I too wish I lived closer to help you out - I'd have even done the chuck coop for ya! :D

    Good morning :)

    Things to do today:

    Go to work - done!
    Do some work - thinking about it
    Leave early (hopefully 3-ish) - done but still have work to do... e-mails sent and OOO switched on :T
    Clean chicken coop - done
    Go for massage - done
    Buy chicken treats for whilst we're away - done (spinach & lettuce)
    Wash & dry jeans - in the washing machine
    Pack
    Go to bed before midnight

    Soup + cheese scone for dinner, just sitting down for 10 minutes and then I'll tackle the packing :)

    If I wished closer I'd have decluttered the soup and cheese scones for you :).

    Yes :D. Amongst other purchases he got a £25 'cricket hat' reduced to 99p in M&S :j. It made him very happy :). Well, it made him less unhappy :rotfl:.
