    I thought I'd posted on here the other day brizzle but it's not here!:eek:

    Sorry to hear about the problems with the garage - I dont drive but cars always seem to be absolute money pits!:(

    But very pleased to hear about your new "girls!" Hopefully you've had some eggs!

    Go easy with dancing the minuet tonight!:)

    Sorry to hear that Lou - but with you in spirit. It was good to do some exercise and banish some of the blues and very briefly caught up with a friend too at said class.

    I guess its why one should always have travel options! I should know more tomorrow.

    Hope youre well SSG. No eggs yet but think they are settling in well and are very chatty which I like. Hard to get up for work this morning after some time off last week but thought of you as I sat with flask and breakfast on the commuter train :)
  • Sorry to hear about car troubles:(, but good to hear your chooks are settling nicely, fingers crossed for fresh yummy eggs very soon. xx

    Thanks brizzle - I'm finding it harder and harder to get up for work even though the mornings are getting lighter!:(. Hope you enjoyed your commute breakfast and work went well today.

    The chatty chooks sound great!
