    Well done LRH on the mini egg laying....B and G no pressure ladies, but you're beginning to show momma up:p

    MWC you are far more classy than those clowns who are 'managers' at your organisation. A few years ago I read a book - the rules of work - when I was being 'managed' by a complete twonk. I think you might like it (possibly borrow from the library?)

    MWC I really miss my chickens (we stopped keeping them in Oct last year after 15 years) but I really really love not having to clean them out when its cold!

  • The eglu cube is spotless, the run roof is no longer green and the woodchip has been dug over The only thing I forgot to do was sprinkle some disinfectant powder in the run - must remember to do that tomorrow. I was drenched by the time I had finished with the pressure washer!

    Only 3 eggs today - Miss B, Miss H & Miss M - I'm starting to think that Miss LRH's first egg wasn't hers...

  • Good morning

    I had a rare lie-in this morning :D The chickens woke me up at a quarter to 7 but I rolled over and went back to sleep! I hope the neighbours were able to do the same :o

    Plans for today include:

    - walking into town to buy the items I couldn't get yesterday
    - some gardening
    - being lazy :)

    Morning MWC

    Glad to hear you had a lie in. I will be joining you on the lazy part of the day later this afternoon. I have a few chores to do first and then it will be chill time!

    Have a lovely day :)
  • Thanks BW

    BIG mistake - I went shopping with Mr MWC and we were both hungry... spent £35 (although that includes chicken stuff and a new doormat for the conservatory)

    Rather than gardening this afternoon I have decided to clean the conservatory. It was lovely in there this morning when the sun was shining and we really should use it for something other than a greenhouse-!!!-shed!

  • Just having a cup of tea before tackling the conservatory!

    At the end of February, our combined mortgage debt was £162,402.14, the daily interest was £11.11 and our savings total approx. £110,000. We now own 35% of our home :D

    Mr MWC and I were having a cheery chat whilst walking into town this morning. If I die, my death in servce will pay off the mortgage and buy Mr MWC a porsche - if he dies, the mortgage will be paid off but there will be no money left over. If we both die, my brother and his sister will get quite a windfall!

  • Hi MWC, what if you lose a finger at work, or something slightly less permanent than death in service?

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    I must admit Mr T and I have had the same type of conversation and whilst it's sad to think of the future this way, it's a blessing to know we'd be OK financially. :)

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Go easy at the top of the stairs :cool:. I do :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I'll be careful GG!

    Anything less than death Tilly and he'll have to stick to a car that is affordable with his company car allowance :p
