Ms Cluck Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Just had to post - my reply on the Auboise on the chicken forum got me thinking. Since I have had my chickens last sept/october we have slowly gone greener and more self sufficient we also recycle a lot more. I have just worked out I am about £15.00 a week better off - all thanks to the tips and advice posted on here. we make our own bread now we grow our own fruit / veg / salad we are also cooking at home a lot more (thanks to the marvelous recipies) Use Auboise for cats and chickens this saving alone is £4.50 a week Also just saw Kate's posting on Soap making just think of the savings there as well Not only are we better off money wise but healthier and happier - and its all down to omlet and 3 chickens - and of course you guys for making these forums what they are (sorry fluffy moment gone now) Anyways THANK YOU - by this time next year might be able to give up work at this rate.

Mrs Frugal Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I do like a fluffy moment ! It's lovely when you can do away with commercialism for a bit, isn't it and it's so nice that chickens have opened our eyes, isn't it . Keep up the good work! If it makes you feel happier and healthier, it's so worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hi Lyn - glad you are getting a lot from this forum - it's great isn't it? I think we may have been making some savings but unfortunately - no, fortunately - we were led off in the direction of buying a smallholding and many more animals so we are now thousands of pounds in debt - but a whole lot happier!

The Dogmother Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I've got some horns - red sparkly ones! The Boy bought them for my 40th. I love them I'd be better off if they didn't keep putting up fuel bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
