:( It's something I worry about. I have never seen a fox around ours but I know someone who lives close by has. I think it helps that we have the dog and he spends pretty much all day outside ( unless its raining ) You will definitely have to be careful because it will come back.

You know, thats a good point. The neighbour had a goose, well gander actually, that was an even better guard dog than her 2 dogs. The gander's mate died last year, and after a brief mourning he spent his days shepherding the chickens about. Sadly the gander died last week ( 24+ years old!) so that may be why the fox could get so close. I think my neighbour will be getting geese again soon now, and in the meantime we are going to see if the fox can be sorted out by some hunter friends of hers too.

Well yes, OK that does come first, but then he has another important job too. Marking his territory.

The discussion re the males urinating to deter the fox is amusing me.....

Men aren't the only gender that need to expel urine!

Oh he will. He knows about the fox, and will gladly give his all to keep it away!

Yes, but it is a bit subtler and aiming is easier if you are male.... although I have heard about these devices that allow women to stand aim and fire too! TMI !! I think the fox can smell the MALE smell too.

Fascinated if you will still feel full in 60/90 minutes time QoC! We usually end our fast days ravenous. Anyone got any tips for this? The best ones we have are either: expect it and allow 100 cals for a later snack out of the allowance,
or alternatively, go to bed early! Best of luck everyone.

what about smoothies of veg , and fruit

apple ,ginger,rasberry fat free greek yogert (if allowed) or fresh orange juice and blend it quite thick so it more "deserty":o:o

angel delight, topped with banannas, or peach

rice cakes (topped with home made sugar free jam);)

home made mini strip pizzas flat one (no deep pan:eek:) cut in to a 3 inch strips by 2 cm with no cheese or very little

Yes, only adult men should mark the garden as foxes smell the pheromones........didn't work well in my garden , we are in town and are overrun with foxes, squirells and badgers.
