Making chicken feed of my mortgage

That double yolk egg looks fantastic, it must be lovely to have your eggs come from so close to home.

Other eggs just don't taste the same Ed. It's amazing how much difference a diet supplemented by spinach, lettuce, carrot peelings, mealworms, corn, sunflower seeds and the odd garden plant makes

It's just taken me ages to list 23 items on ebay... but I've already got watchers on several items (3 on 1 item!) - how exciting :j

how exciting

I do miss the heady thrill of eBay tidies. We're pretty much minimalists these days - or at least have no tat that anyone would buy :rotfl:

This is the first time I've properly sold anything on ebay and it's very exciting

23 items
2 items have bids (starting price but each item has 2 watchers)
8 other items have watchers (1 x 3 watchers, 3 x 2 watchers)
1 question about posting to Spain

And there's still 6 days and 19 hours left!!!

Another beautiful morning - fingers crossed it stays so

Today I need to:

- Sow new seeds
- Pot up my seedlings
- Plant out my runner bean plants
- Plan where I am going to put all my new plants!
- Read up about peach leaf curl - my peach tree is looking poorly
- Mow lawn if it is dry enough
- Clean chicken coop
- Accompany Mr MWC to the cinema... he is insisting that I go to see Star Trek with him... I hate Star Trek
- Try not to check ebay more than once an hour!
- Clean bathroom

Today I need to:

- Sow new seeds - done
- Pot up my seedlings - done
- Plant out my runner bean plants
- Plan where I am going to put all my new plants!
- Read up about peach leaf curl - my peach tree is looking poorly - too late now, I can't do anything until the autumn except give it some TLC whilst it is stressed
- Mow lawn if it is dry enough - next job
- Clean chicken coop
- Accompany Mr MWC to the cinema... he is insisting that I go to see Star Trek with him... I hate Star Trek - lovely Mr MWC has changed his mind and will go alone :smileyhea
- Try not to check ebay more than once an hour! - so-so 3 items have bids, 15 items have watchers, answered another question
- Clean bathroom

I'm happy as I've got mud under my fingernails :rotfl:

Runner beans planted out after preparing the soil with some homemade chicken manure :T I have used coloured jute twine (red, orange and purple) that I bought pre-MFW (when I had more money than sense!) for them to grow up

Several plants also planted out and I have split my Monarda 'Cambridge Scarlet' as it was getting too big.

Just in time for the rain to water them in :cool:

If I do say so myself, my garden is looking rather lovely

5/23 ebay items now have bidders :j

I've just realised that I could have been adding my lovefilm rental DVDs to Consumer Pulse :doh:
