Only freedom will do

That would be appreciated AJM, thanks

Scotland is lovely, I am only sad that I need to be in the office. The wilds are calling, 8 weeks 'til the September break and a chance to escape to somewhere a bit more scenic. Think that I can get 11 days out of the office for 5 days leave, seems like a bargain!

Another Whole fo@ds fan here, I think I know the one you go to as well, we try and pop along there a couple of times a year

Have to admit if money were no object I would deff spend my time growing veg and having chickens and bees ... and Mr El could chop his wood and cook

We used Donald Russell and can highly recommend them. They often have newbie offers so have a look around online.

People! There are no local farms! :rotfl:

We have the wonderful townie approach to meat. A local community gardening group raise two pigs for slaughter and people protested when they were eventually taken for the inevitable :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: brilliant, absolutely brilliant :rotfl::rotfl:

It was on the top of my page. I had tears in my eyes. Still have the remnants as I type

We used to mail order meat as well (I think from the same place ), and it always worked out a treat :T

I need to look into doing it again, actually! Just fell out of the habit due to various house moves and such nonsense.

PS. I was in fits re: the pigs as well... luckily it's quiet here at work :rotfl: :shhh:

Just looked at Donald Russell - you people must be *millionaires*! :eek:

Ed - I have no idea what price meat should be - so I've no idea if the following is cheap/expensive, about right or whatever. But mention of mail order meats reminded me of something that I read about on the Old Style thread some time ago, about a company that actually set up supplying meat for body builders - the name they chose is dire..... However, I think some old stylers rate it for good meat. The link is HERE I'm not connected with the company, and most certainly am not endorsing them! (I'm veggie ) However, if you think that the prices are reasonable, go and ask over in Old Style for folks opinions, as to the company - that's where I heard about them.

Up changing the baby at 03:30 today, followed by a longer than usual shift at work. I am like a wilted lettuce :eek:

• £15.17 to savings
• £5.60 to P2P lending (made a mistake with my sums yesterday)
• Paid back my final whisky bill to the credit card

Off to bed, the sun is still shining brightly

A pity you don't have any local farms. Are you planning to live in the city long term or to move to a more rural area when your daughter is a little older?

Donald Russell as others have said often have great offers so don't be put off. Though what's wrong with an ashet pie .
