Free flow probably refers to the way the chickens are reared ie they can go in and out of a barn or similar.

Yay to free food and quilts - but most of all to NEW DIARIES!!! I have, as promised, subscribed!

frozen "free flow" is I think what used to be called "individually quick frozen" - ie so they don't all stick together in lump.

Your comment about car blankets made me smile. I passed my test in '92, and have had a blanket in there since then that Mum and I crocheted between us - just granny squares all sewn together but it's fab - really bright and colourful!

Oh whoops I totally misread that! So my comment made even less sense than usual

You need to upload photos to a photo hosting website, like photobucket or imageshack. Most of the sites are free for low volume users. Once you've uploaded your photo, there will be a link to the photo. You copy the link, then when writing a post here, press on the square button above the post that has a little mountain and a moon on it. It will ask you for the link to your photo, and you paste it in the box. It sounds complicated if you haven't done it before, but it really isn't. If you have trouble it's most likely because I haven't explained it well, maybe EssexH can explain it better

We have a blanket like the one in your car, it was left in the first house we ever bought. It's a pretty green tartan wool blanket. I keep it on the sofa for snuggling under, if it were larger I'd have been able to use it on the bed but it's more of a lap blanket.

Maybe I should re-think the hooker heels. Were the ones you bought in good condition or 'well worn'?

Happy to see this!

Well what a week it's been! I'm glad to see the back of it to be honest....

If I'm to be rewarded in the afterlife for anything at all I think it will be patience. If the Big Man upstairs hasn't prepared me a XXXL 60 watt Halo by the time I reach room temperature then I'll be having words!:rotfl:

Started a week ago when the OH asked me where his glasses are. :cool: He only wears them occasionally but I didn't have a clue where his glasses were. He told me I would know because I would have 'hid' them. :rotfl: I told him I hadn't hid them and had he checked at the side of his bed?

He stomped upstairs and duly found them by the side of the bed...on the floor. Which then led to a huge and not worth writing it down argument about how I had left them there! The trouble was he got my back up so I entered into the argument about how I don't place glasses on the floor but he wouldn't have it would he. For a start I don't even venture around his side of the bed because it's like a minefield. You never know what you're going to step on (and therein lies the clue...). I just wish I'd walked away but he kept on and on and on....:mad:

The week progressed and just got worse. He picked fault with everything, most notably the number of parcels arriving at the house. Some were for work and some were Christmas presents - it is that time of year after all!

Cue Wednesday - I'd just about had enough of everything being thrown at me, and then I realise I haven't received some recording equipment from a mystery shopping company for an assignment I'm due to complete this week. I ring them up and they tell me I have received it. (Anyone guess what's coming???) They provide me with proof and I feel so stupid as it's the OH's signature. So I ring him up and ask him about it and he gives me a flippant comment along the lines of 'oh I thought you would have found it by now....' He's put it down and then dumped a load of stuff on top of it and decided against telling me it's there. I've almost lost the assignment. I AM NOT PLEASED and he knows it so he puts the phone down on me. (You'll see in time that he does that regularly).:mad:

I head off to see Mum, pleased of a change of scenery. We meet up, go for a meal, do a bit of shopping, I take her home and we have a drink. It's 8pm. I usually stay until 9pm before heading home but I've had a really long day as the manager was off sick and I covered, I had an hour and a half drive to get to her as there had been an accident on the motorway, and I'm really tired and stressed out. I tell her I'm leaving as I'm so tired and just get - 'but you're here to see me and keep me company!'. She then starts banging things around and I just leave. She doesn't even come to the door to wave me off.:(

By the time I get home I am done for. I've really had enough, and two hours later I've got my head in the toilet as I've caught this sickness bug that's been going around. I spent a glorious night in the bathroom and felt completely out of it yesterday. OH has seen the error of his ways. I think he felt rather sheepish about his stunt with my post and the fact that I was so ill and I was absolved of all domestic duties yesterday while he WILLINGLY did almost everything. I say almost everything as it looked like every pot in the kitchen had been used when I got up this morning. All Mum can say to me is 'Well I hope you haven't given it to me'.:mad:

And while I am having this moan I will just add that my brother finally apologised (sorry for new readers it's in the old thread). However he only did so as a result of the fact that I had paid him some money towards what I owe him. He sent me a text apology but had I not done so I could still well be waiting...

But it's Friday and nearly Christmas, and I'm still standing so that's a good thing.:j

Hope everyone has a good evening xx

Misty thank you for the notes about uploading photos - I will try and have a play around with it this weekend and see if I can get any photos on here! It all makes perfect sense what you say so I'm sure it will be fine, thank you x

Bobarella

Poor you Smolly my whole family went down with the bug you have within a day of each other. It's so contagious. Not very kind of your Mum to make that remark.
Sometimes it isn't till we stop bending over backwards that others appreciate us, as your OH demonstrated really. Feel well soon!

Swash

Get well soon smolly x
