Tiggy Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 He did a degree in food science & human nutritian before going to medical school - so has his uses, pity he didn't ever learn to wash up tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 funny you should say that! I saw him do it once about 13 years ago I'm due to have an op on my ankle soon so we shall see how he copes with feeding chickens, looking after the house & working full time - just like I do. You never know he may turn into the perfect house husband - now that would be a shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 i shall get some post it notes & leave them in strategic places like above the kettle & on the door of the wine fridge, the cats won't let him forget to fed them. i should be fine with my big plaster boot & crutches once i am allowed to weight bear but that could take up to 6 weeks OMG how much washing up am I going to have to do by then?

The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 You could always buy some plastic cutlery and paper plates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 You could always buy some plastic cutlery and paper plates... Sounds like a plan Thankfully we have a dishwasher in our house. However he is awful at putting things in the right places So he is banned from unloading it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 mmm good idea, less washing up. OH would be filling bin bags, he's not good with recycling but an extra bag here & there wouldn't make a lot of difference, our neighbour regularly puts out 10-15 a week - but then she has the perfect house & garden no job, is terrified of anything that is not human, cats, chickens toads, very nice lady but a little Hyacyth Bucket. She never says no to some free eggs herbs or rhubarb though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Go for it Anne. Nothing nicer than I home made egg and cress buttie! You have got me going and have been out to the greenhouse to put some cress seeds on a tray. Also whist out planted broccoli seeds in some pots made from newspaper and my paper potter, and some lettuice.......off we go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've got one of those paper potters but have never got round to using it, do they work OK. I'm running out of small starter pots, my raised beds in the poly tunnel are starting to sprout & I'm just puting up some link a board beds outside, I've always grown a little bit of salad but this is my first year with the poly tunnel & raised beds, hubby thinks that I've gone barmy. I dont care I really enjoy myself out there & 2 teenagers (both OHs) will eat any thing if comes out of my garden He is scared to death that I will get more chickens & a goat - he never mows the lawn anyway its more of a meadow really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hope you are ok Maria. Shout if you need any shopping etc. Long term the peppers and tomatoes might be a better proposition! It's the thought that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
