Lesley Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 I did see the yellow one yesterday and was very tempted - but I think we may have enough of a problem with flies without having an attractive yellow Eglu for them My arm would have to be twisted so far up my back as to be disloceted before I could even consider an Orange Eglu - so no rainbow for us. I didn't see any purple/lilac ones either And Jan is still onto the 'Big Pink T Shirt' problem - she's working on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 I've just posted about chocolate in another thread .................. "Carl made the mistake of phoning on his way home tonight to say he was stopping at the Co op and asking if there was anything I needed.......... "Yes! - I need Chocolate!!!" He came home with enough chocolate to stock a shop " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Bless him - he's obviously realised that stressed women need chocolate I can't believe you still have no news - is one of the people involved a torturer from the Spanish Inquisition?

Cate in NZ Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I just can't believe that this is being dragged out for so long...... don't the jobsworths who are dragging their heels, and no doubt looking forward to a long Easter weekend, realise that there are chickens and ducks and dinners and cockerels all waiting for a home.... and pigs and dogs just waiting to be the lucky chosen ones to get to live with Lesley and Carl I'd threaten to set the cockerels on them if they don't get moving very soon Lesley Chocolate sounds like a good, if a little restrained, plan. I'd be on the wine by now..... box, not bottle Fingers still tightly crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Of course we've chosen the pigs Martin - Oxford Sandy and Blacks - just do a search, you'll find them. Mel, there is plenty of chocolate left - I feel to sick to actually eat any of it. I've had nervous indigestion all day yesterday - singular, big hiccups which makes everyone laugh except me I had one at work when the engineer was trying to calm an irate woman down over the phone an dhe got a fit of the giggles Wine? - I feel I could take up drinking at the moment. Carl is back on the wine and he was doing really well But...... today's another day - we've got Lauren and Jake with us all day and we are going out ................................

Martin B Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 May I say what a fine choice of pigs. I had a look on google images and they look beautiful! The blacks look very plain, basically black. They have such nice snouts and a beautiful, cheeky looking face! The Oxford Sandys look like a really traditional pig, they have large black spots and look very nice! Lesley will you be breeding pigs? Or keeping them for pets? ---Martin--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I think she might be keeping them for her pots Martin (as in cooking pots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Lesley how many are you getting? Are you going to breed them for meat?? Also Lesley have you considered getting some battery hens? Only Joking! But realistically you could, sorry I hope you don't think i'm trying to make you get as much Livestock as possible! Sorry.....
