  • Morning all

    I have a very posh country dog now,thanks to Alfie.. THANK YOU!!!! Yes it is big, but she can still wear it, while she is growing into it... The teas cosy is fab... And will def keep the pot hot!!

    I can def agree as I have got older I am very u decided and don't trust my decision making anymore. And its getting g a pain now especially with the ranch.. I say I want one thing, and then I change my mind lol.. Like the range is being delivered today.. And I picked the cream one, thinking I needed a light co!our one to lighten the room up, but now I am sorry I didn't pick the black one!!..lol...

    Will take some pics later, now I have got to make the final decision of where it is going to go..

    Piggies going to Hereford market tomorrow, so fingers crossed we get the price we want for them, as otherwise they will be coming g back again

    Daughter 2 got the job, so now she's deputy manager of a store in a different city from where she lives._pale_ :silenced:

    I know she'd have been climbing the walls if something more challenging hadn't come along, but a more local opportunity would have been preferable. She says she's been doing the same work unofficially on wage-slave pay, so this is the same, but with proper money.

    OK but an 80 mile round trip every day isn't going to be free! :wall:

    Here, in middle-of-nowhere-ville it's been very quiet and still. Even Mr Dog has been going around on tiptoe. :rotfl:I've been clearing up the very soggy garden, but it's a mammoth task. All that wild, blowsy planting is great.....until it falls in on itself in a soggy mass! :eek:

    Yes especially when ones mutt is wearing a Barbour wax dog coat lol

    Well I finally wore my posh expensive wellies today, and the bloody puggles were trying to nibble the side buckles...I was coming out in a cold sweat when I got mud on them, and nearly fainted when the puggles nibbled them... But they are all nice and clean again...( phew) but it is like walking in waterproof slippers lol

    well on the positive side, your piggies may be the best there and go for the premium price. buyers haven't time to fatten the poorer ones up before xmas ?

    Glad the off spring ae getting organised Lucielle - must be satisfying - hope it all works well.

    Great great weather - makes up for the Summer we didn't have. Loads of butterflies about & a dragon fly ZZZZZZing about.Loads of brown hairy caterpillars too! Think it's to change though.

    Alfie will you race your carriage or will it be more like Little House On The Prairie? Just making fun...sounds a wonderful poject.

    Nearly all the scaffolding is down, but still not got the rest of the flue up.
    Spent a while hunting for sheep paperwork,but I do seem very disorganised. I could do with a real sort out - piles of stuff all muddled. Spend more time looking for things than actually doing...........
    I also spend a lot of time running between caravan & house fetching stuff - backwards & forwards, backwards & forwards - exhausted with it.
    I carried my very heavy Avery shop scales out to the house yesterday as I made jelly - bramble & crab apple - made about 15lbs so that was good. The apples are ones I have on a tree that I bought from LIDls a few years back & did'nt really notice it as a usable fruit tree as the fruit is so pretty & decorative - bright scarlet, but the jelly tastes lovely. Never seen so many brambles on the croft & that's because I haven't kept up to them this year - they are a menace.

    Hope the piggies make a good price CTC & the Range is a good choice. Cream never dates.

    Train will have to work, as she's no car and hasn't driven since passing the test in 2009!

    But she's near Bristol Parkway, so it could be a bike, train, walk, or bike again job. :)
