    Someone bought some of my duck eggs to put under their broody chicken so in a few weeks time I might have grand-duckies out there :D

    I got chatting to a "big cheese" over lunch and she's asked me to write a chapter for her new book _pale_ I'm sooooooooooooo far out of my comfort zone :eek: but what a fantastic opportunity :T



    How exciting :) And yes I totally get being out of comfort zone, but career boost and confidence boost when done :j
    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 !!

    Hey hun!

    Just to let you know that I had a bash at a version of *Shepherdess Pie* for dinner tonight. I don't think that it was truly the G McKeith version, but it was most definitely inspired by you mentioning it being on your meal-planner a little while ago.

    Thanks to you and MrMWC for the inspiration :T

    Love and chickweed to *the girls*

    Hello :wave:
    All OK here, just rushed off my feet...
    Miss H was a bit peaky yesterday so I took her to the vet... and didn't bring her home :(
    The rest of the gang are fine and, by my calculations, tomorrow is Hatching Day *fingers crossed*

    Poor Miss H :(:(
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
