    My babies :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Pretty eggs. Will the chicks be as pretty? Love the holiday photos. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
    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 !!

    After settling for 24 hours, the hatching eggs are now under Miss Effie :j

    21 days and counting!

    They are Cream Legbar eggs so yes, the chicks (fingers-crossed some hatch) will be gorgeous :D

    Thanks for sharing your awesome holiday pics MWC

    Best of luck with the hatching too :)
  • Thanks BW - I have a few more photos to share (Hue, DMZ and misc) but it might have to wait a few days...

    I wimped out of chub club weigh-in this morning - too much to eat and drink last night!

    Today's priority is an emergency shopping trip. I fly to the U.S. tomorrow for a conference/business trip and all my clothes are too big :eek:
