    Fantastic :j:j:j
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I've been quite busy this morning...

    - ordered some Christmas pressies online :xmassmile

    - laundry

    - walked to Sainsburys to stock up on a few favourites, use some soon-to-expire bonus point coupons and spend £20 on cleaning stuff to get a 7 p/L off petrol coupon (and petrol is already 99.9 p/L :T)

    - went to chub club - lost 1 lb since I last weighed-in a fortnight ago :) (36 pounds this year :j) Aiming for damage limitation in December and then full steam ahead to reach goal in January!

    Still no sign of my sharesave shares :mad: Price has dropped £3/share since the beginning of the month :eek:

    Up to £20 on OP - losing the will to live with it though...

    We're off to Hipsterville later for cocktails and dinner with friends :cool:

    The Girls are still laying well - a full house on Wednesday and Thursday, and 4 eggs yesterday :T
    Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

    Pure breeds usually stop laying, hybrids slow down (or, in my experience, stop if they are getting on a bit and have moulted) until Valentine's Day-ish.

    5/6 are Year 1 hybrids so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, the sixth is a year older and I really didn't expect her to start laying again after being broody in November... perhaps it's peer pressure :rotfl:

    I'll have plenty of eggs for Christmas hamper lemon curd making :T
