"mother, look, lilac! can i have my chickens now instead of after we've moved"

 

*odd look from mum*

 

*pledding face*

 

*a "no you fool" look from mum*

 

i walked away

[feemcg]

Yay - I managed to put the lilac eglu in my sig. (after a bit of fiddling around!).

[The Dogmother]

Well done Fee, quite a collection you have there... what does OH say?

[feemcg]

He's fantastic about my chicken 'obsession', and knows how impulsive I am. If I want anything done in the way of run building, cleaning out etc. he just gets on with it - he's really 'handy'. Of course he does the 'man' thing' if his mates are round - pretends they're a nuisance, shoo's them out the way....and then when "Ooops, word censored!"ody's looking he's out talking to them and giving them treats

[Egluntyne]

Looks good Fee!!

 

Your OH is a star!!

 

Him Indoors, bless him, doesn't know a screw driver from a plant pot.

That lilac is so . If you ever want to sell it Fee, you know I can collect it from you .

Sounds just like Dilly's OH - he goes on about them, but it's all bluster - he's the first out there after a meal with his s"Ooops, word censored!"s

I am safe from this one,having an aversion to all things purple & lilac.

 

But if they were to bring out the old yellow, or a nice paler primrose shade I would be dusting off the Mastercard again

[Aunty e]

WANT. Seriously, do you think OH would notice? He's touring a lot at the mo.

go for it. You deserve a treat!

[The Dogmother]

You could just do the 'this old thing' line when he eventually notices

[Aunty e]

I might tentatively raise the coloured eglu issue with him later...

[Cinnamon]

I wish,wish,wish that they would make the bases in different colours too.

 

Think of the fun we could have mixing & matching.

think how cool a brown top on a purple base would look - very Cadburys

I was torn between the lilac and the orange when I ordered my cube last Saturday and plumped for the orange as I didn't know what shade of lilac it was.....but now I've seen it I think its gorgeous...do you think I could ring up and change the colour before delivery?

[feemcg]

It's a hard choice isn't it? -but, yes, I'm sure you could phone and change it (you might even get it sooner!).

 

James has just emailed me to say that the icons are in the list now with the short codes (I emailed him last night).

I'm off to change mine - I need all the space I can get

Cinnamon, I'm liking the nice paler primrose idea

 

But the lilac is super too...

That lilac eglu is beautiful

I emalied Johannes and asked about yellow....he said there were no plans for yellow at the mo.

 

I have a yellow mark one. I can't decide whether a purple or lilac cube would look best along side it. Decisions. Decisions.

[The Dogmother]

Definitely purple Egluntine; lilac is a tad too girlie for me.

[chelsea]

dark purple and bright yellow would look very striking together

 

I LOVE the lilac but the colour would be lost against the bright yellow I reckon.

[The Dogmother]

I think that orange and purple are the best together.

[chelsea]

orange and green also looks nice

 

decisions decisions........ I love them all.

[The Dogmother]

ahh, now there are some colours I am not keen on
