    Well done on the declutter. It is so good for the mind to have less stuff around. X
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    The chooks are looking good!

    Has Mr Hbbb gone away for a few days now, leaving you in peace?

    Grr to the floorpaint - just keep the girls and hounds away from it - imagine the paw/foot prints they could leave on it!

    Wow! To the purple food day. Maybe you could follow a rainbow...

    Sleep well x

    Hi y'all and many thanks ... I really didn't realise how much they'd improved until comparing the photos, it's good to know they're having a better time of it now!

    Happy Friday to you all!

    She doesn't seem to move quite as quickly as the others, so she's a little easier to catch with the camera, Bo! I had to crop the pic but the original has a big black cloud in the sky above her and the overall effect is actually quite menacing! Could easily be used as a film poster about the story of a 'dun me wrong' chicken out for revenge on battery farmers or such! :rotfl:
