Olly Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 oh poor you (although why am I replying - you won't be reading this, will you?) I have had to limit my forum-surfing. I was horrified when I realised how much time I spend on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisymay Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 hi i'm the same. it is so addictive! my husband laughs as whenever he sees me on the laptop he says "what are you looking at.....omlet" good luck with your report....maybe have a sneaky peek later if things get too much....everyone is entitled to a break!!!

HENthusiastic Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hello......... even though you are not here! Why not give yourself regular omlet breaks to help motivate yourself. How bowt reading two threads after each five reports?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thank you for your kind replies. I have written another three reports and am rewarding myself with a lunch break before returning to the grindstone. 8 minutes until the spring rolls are ready!!!! After my next three reports I am going down into the garden too give the hens some tlc. Their new longer taurpaulin has arrived just in time as it's raining on and off here. After putting it on I shall have a cup of tea and return to writing again. It's a good way to get through the horrors of reports!!! This time every year I think of retiring (at 41!) as I find it such a stressful time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsm_jones Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Ooo....I'm the same....Iron to do, house to clean, CHILDREN to FEED....will have to wait til I've read just ONE MORE thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The occasional peep won't harm. I had a biggish project from work a few months ago and did it at home. The distraction of the forum was a very welcome relief from a tedious but necessary task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Chook Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 AJuff, I've had to visit an osteopath this week, to sort out my stiff neck from sitting at the computer too much, reading here about chickens. But what are you supposed to do when it's too dark to gaze at your girls any more? Please could a more experienced chicken person reassure me that this is just a phase which will pass eventually?

Cyber Chook Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Ajuff, do you mean that you have to stop report-writing in order to look at the workmen? Like on the Coke ad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 AJuff, I've had to visit an osteopath this week, to sort out my stiff neck from sitting at the computer too much, reading here about chickens. But what are you supposed to do when it's too dark to gaze at your girls any more? Please could a more experienced chicken person reassure me that this is just a phase which will pass eventually? Caroline I think you might have have a mild case of: "chicken fever" = when you can't sleep for thinking of chickens, your whole day is dominated by thinking of chickens and your life as you knew it is generally taken over by all things chicken. Normally suffered by soon-to-be chicken keepers but as there is no known cure, symptoms may persist! (attr. Emma&Louie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Chook Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thank you for the information Ain't "Ooops, word censored!"ody Here. In a way it's a relief to have a diagnosis. Now, what's the cure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Not sure there is a cure. More chooks perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Chook Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I think I'd better stick to just looking at other people's chickens. At least there won't be any more expense involved . I've decided it's best not to add it all up! Your girls are gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
