Making chicken feed of my mortgage
Comments

I've just eaten some blackberries, raspberries, strawberries & blueberries from the garden - I really enjoyed them until I looked in the plastic tub and saw lots of tiny maggots... *feeling queasy*Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Oh dear - think of it as protein! (That's what my mum would say!).
Hopefully they dropped off into the bottom of the pot before you ate the berries.

At least they will be well looked after creatures
I thought of you today - I was going to have half an hour in the garden reading, instead I went for a brisk walk. Thanks for inspiring me.

Oo-er ... my partner used to eat salad when he was driving us home, and one day he looked at the radish he'd bitten into, and found *half* a maggot. Very not good!2023: the year I get to buy a car0

No ill effects from the maggots!
Miss Effie is broody again :mad:
I've bought some more hatching eggs :j
I've averaged 18,500 steps/day since GG challenged me and I've earned 47 chub club activity points :cool:
This evening I walked past a supermarket and bought some bargainous bread products - a loaf of brown soda bread, 2 soda farls, 4 cheese muffins, a fruit loaf and a raisin loaf for 25p :T I'll need to ration those carefully!
