Mrs McB's countdown to adventures with chooks (and Rock Gods)

cazmanian_minx

Ooooooh, we haven't had any Orkney smoked in the house for ages, I must pop into Mackay's next time I'm in town. I had a mature cheddar with garlic and herbs for lunch, which was nice enough, but I'm still annoyed that Tesco stopped selling Innkeeper's Choice in its deli.

Oh dear lost a post

It said thank you Buffy nice to see you busy girl as always!

Lu - when I'm flitted maybe we can meet up in the lands of Edinburgh? If you'd be up for that?

Caz - sounds yum must investigate once flitted.

I'm stalkign chooks via fb now. Sad times. eh?

Diddly squat done today. Hey ho

Forgot to have tea which is quite money saving but not very sensible.

My MSE cooking was a healthy version of sausage rolls today. The recipe made eight, so I thought that would be three for lunch, three for tomorrow's lunch then the last two along with something else for Tuesday.

I ate five

Not so MSE if you eat two days worth, methinks

If you get chooks and sell eggs, keep me in mind. I hate supermarket eggs, but we have precious little else here!

Moomin how very funny I bought a reduced FR chook and roasted it on Friday night - after 5 or 6 (I forget) hot chicken pieces (slices not doublers) I hid the chook from myself.

Not very mse either.

I'm of a mind to sell eggs so I might take you up on that. I thought I could get hens of varying colours to make interesting wee egg boxes as I'm considering farmers markets as one of my ideas for making a living.

No idea waht I'll sell at said farmers markets as I don't know who's doing what yet but its one idea I have

maybe I can get the licence for twinks's hobnobs too and have a whole MSE line of wares to

Humungous lists there again madam - PLEASE remember to breathe!

Fingers crossed for DD's exam - she's a smart cookie and I know how hard she's worked so I reckon she'll be fine. Tell her I said you STILL can't send her to me in the post though! :rotfl:

Please to see paying a Quirky Deposit is on that list too!

Also glad to see that a nights sleep helped with stuff. Good news - I hoped it might.

Ooh - something I remember we found useful when we moved - might be helpful to keep an every-couple-of-days note of meter readings at the moment so that if (god forbid) you forget to take them on moving day you can provide an accurate estimate. we remembered ours in the end, but it was reassuring to know that we had a solid basis to work on if it has slipped our minds, and that tip helped out a chum recently too.

Happy worky day lovely - hope the sun shines on you! xx

beanielou

Happy Monday & as EH says remember to breathe!!

starnac

Good advice there EH on the meter readings.

Pippi that is one HUGE list today. Don't forget to breathe like others have said. I can't believe how close to is all getting. I'm getting excited for you

Good luck to DD. She is a clever sort so I'm sure she will be fine. No harm in sending good luck thoughts though

Cheery_Daff

Goodness me, moving day is SO close now! :j :j LOVE it that you're plotting chickens for the day after you get there

Good luck to DD :j She is indeed a clever lass and she well do well I'm sure!

Loving your lists - and loving even more that you've paid the captain off! :j :j Bet that felt SO good :j :j Well done you
