Cate in NZ Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Totally silly post alert, but I'm absolutely over the moon, so I just have to share it . My computer died at the end of last week, after a long and spluttering sickness and I was devastated, actually getting withdrawal symptoms from the forum would you believe.... it was easier giving up caffeine I actually ended up doing absolutely no worthwhile work at all today, spending as much work time as possible catching up on the forum and neglecting all my work responsibilities But my gorgeous, much-maligned, but quite simply fabulous husband has come up trumps.... and I got home from work to find a brand new, fully functioning computer waiting for me I'm back!!!!! (Watch out Martin...... I could give you a run for your money now..... a mere 1000 posts a month.... chicken feed ) Now all said gorgeous hubby has to do is load my camera software onto the computer and I can bombard you with chicken rescue photos on sunday too You have been warned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken on a mission Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Post away Kate. You're always entertaining My hubby gets right on my nerves. I try to malign him but every now and again he does something really thoughtful to make me feel really guilty. Luckily it soon wears off so I can go back to hubby baiting with a clear concience again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paola Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 My hubby gets right on my nerves. I try to malign him but every now and again he does something really thoughtful to make me feel really guilty. Luckily it soon wears off so I can go back to hubby baiting with a clear concience again Sounds familiar Having said that my husband built me a new chicken run on Sunday. He started at 8.30 in the morning and did not finish untill 2.30. He missed his beloved grand prix in the process (bless) Its great and the chickens love it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 6 hours Paola That's good going! We started on April 22nd and have got a long way to go yet. The chickens are in it (and my grass is growing well!) but it isn't secure from foxes yet. I think we've made it too big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your chook run can never be to big My husband is somebody who when he starts something he has to finish it! I lived in South Godstone up untill a year ago. If we were still there I would have sent him round to finish it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi Paola, I know South Godstone - St Stephen's was my first school! It would have been nice to have someone so close and even better, someone who could finish off the run really quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Kate! Oh no Pictures of us all covered in chook poo! That sounds like me on a normal day anyway Clare You've got very little to worry about- I'm a rotten photographer at the best of times I know Godstone too . At least the children and I (when they were much younger) spent many a pleasant afternoon at Godstone Farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been to the Rare Breeds centre in Kent? It looks good and I was thinking of going at half-term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Never, but it sounds good. Fancy meeting up there at half term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 That would be nice! I think I found out about it on this site. Yes - it's in the links section of the main site. http://www.rarebreeds.org.uk/ I thought it might be worth a visit! When are you free?

Cate in NZ Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Touche Martin I think it was directed at me Ginette.... in my excitement about my new computer I made a silly comment about being able to spend so much time on the forum that I'd outstrip his posting total. It was a joke though Martin, honestly. I couldn't possibly post as much as you do.... you're safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi Paola, I know South Godstone - St Stephen's was my first school! It would have been nice to have someone so close and even better, someone who could finish off the run really quickly! My daughter went to St Stephens. Such a lovely school. We lived in Carlton Road. Living so close to Godstone Farm was handy also. The Forge on Godstone green does the best bacon doorstep sarnies (oh I do miss Surrey ). Oh have you been to Priory Farm shop?

Guest Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Yes I used to go to Priory Farm when it was a PYO. Also the children liked to play on the swings and in the sand by the coffee shop. The Farm Shop is so lovely though, I daren't go in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I think there might be a BHWT album on there already courtesy of Buffie. Perhaps, now that Omlet are getting more involved with the charity, there should be a special section on the gallery for this album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
