ubereglu Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I've now banked £25, from selling some of my plastic hens. All the money I make from these sales goes towards my eglu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Eggcellent! With any luck, you'll have your money saved up by the time your splendid homemade (and presumably biodegradable) hen-house is due for retirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Clever girl! Have you thought about photographing the hens beside a ruler or a 50p piece to give an idea of scale, because some of them are bigger than others. I love my wire bantam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 I write down the sizes if anyone's interested in them, that's what I did with Lesley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 ..but I must have mis-read them I thought the pink one and the purple one were about balloon size and I was going to put them in a pot down by the farm gate as we are difficult to find. As they were smaller, I'm going to hang them in the window with fishing line - they are beautiful though - and so are the wire hen and cockerel.

ubereglu Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'm now up to £35. The extra £5 was a gift to spend on my holidays, but as I've just been on holiday, it made more sense to invest it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Why don't you put them on Ebay? Novelty items.......Christmas approaching.......Oh No! I've said the "C" word and it's only August.....! Seriously, I'm sure they'd sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 I don't have an ebay account though and my Dad doesn't either! My eglu fund's now up to £50!!! YAY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Tick the I am 18 button. If you have permission from a parent it is not a problem. It's like watching an 18 film, I've bet you've done that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 That sounds a bit naughty to me Martin. If that's what you intend to do Liz make sure you get permission from your parent and that the know exactly what you are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I think they'd have to know as you can only really pay with a cheque or credit card (paypal) on Ebay...unless you've also managed to get one of those Martin under false pretences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 I don't think Junior Debit cards are a good idea, It'd just mean I'd spend more money! I don't like the Halifax savers accounts for under 18's their interest rates aren't very high. I bank with Nationwide! I think the intereste rate there is 4.76%, I'm not sure, it might have gone up by now because of inflation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I bank with the Co-op because of their ethical policy and environmental activities - they give money to Climate Care every year that you hold a mortgage with them, and have just installed micro-turbines on the roof of one of their office blocks to generate "green" electricity: http://www.bwea.com/media/news/060213_coop.html And the other week I got a mini bar of G&B Maya Gold in a mailshot from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
