gracefruit Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 We're picking up two girls on Wednesday -- a legbar and a leghorn. Does anyone have any tips for occupying one's mind so as not to obsess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 How lovely. No tips re the obsessing. You could draw up a short list of names as a mini diversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 We're picking up two girls on Wednesday -- a legbar and a leghorn. Does anyone have any tips for occupying one's mind so as not to obsess? No tips sorry...... but obsessivness is normal...... I thought about chickens for the whole 4 weeks mine were on order and spent every day reading this forum. Still spending far too much time on this forum even 15 months on, so I'm afraid the forum gets addictive too. Roll on Wednesday (only 3 sleeps to go..... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jools+6 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 just obsess .. sleeping pills might help , or vast quantities of alcohol ! but i'm afraid apart from that you're goosed !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracefruit Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Thanks for the tips! I decided to pass the time by stripping the wallpaper in the kitchen and then painting. Hoo boy. It's kept me from obsessing, but it's not been much fun. If hell is personalised, I will be stripping wallpaper over the lake of eternal fire!

Abbey Road Girl Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I suppose you could try pouring a glass of wine and reading War and Peace from cover to cover. In Russian. (I'm not sure whether there are any chickens in it though...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
