AnnieP Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 So it doesn't crash and get lost forever when it hits too many pages Martin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I explained at the end of the last post in the orginal thread, Martin. Once a topic gets too long, we are in danger of it disappearing due to technical stuff, that I don't understand..... If you think back to the word association game, we ran into trouble when it reached 100 pages - we just don;t want to lose this topic in the smae way. OK?

Lesley Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yes, it all takes a lot of time at the moment. Also, with all the unexpected arrivals, we have to keep moving things around and bodging more bits of fencing There will be more new arrivals tomorrow - if we can find time to sort out yet more fences and energisers and tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 There will be more new arrivals tomorrow - if we can find time to sort out yet more fences and energisers and tape Oh are the new arrivals the guinea pigs for your own little guinea pig village????

One Man Banned Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well done Lesley on all the new arrivals I think I may have persuaded Joe to let me get a bantam to go with the laydees - I say think as I did get rather drunk last night so he may think I was joking! Who else decides to go clubbing at midnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! No! No! - it is the calves. We have to move them tomorrow because then we will have a standstill period of 20 days on the farm and if we don't move the calves in on time then we can't move the pigs out to the abattoir in 23 days time. The fencing is now ready and I'm frozen and have earache There is a nasty cold wind out there. We're nearly ready - just have to sort out water now. We have an old Belfast sink which may do or else it will mean another trip to Countrywide Carl is still out clearing up bits of wood and wire left from when Matthew made the pig paddock. This fence is temporary and is off the side of the pig paddock so that was one side less to do. I'm in charge of dinner tonight - I've just thrown it all in the oven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! No! No! - it is the calves. Oh and i thought id talked you into it!!! Sounds like you have had a hard day and are in need of some ear muffs and a large glass of something alcoholic with dinner!

Lesley Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 I want to put the gas fire on but we haven't got enough gas We had to apply for a new contract before they would supply any bulk gas. We have returned the form but they still haven't delivered the gas - i wish I'd pretended to be the previous owner when I first phoned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Daisy and Buttercup or ......... What fab names Lesley but Daisy & Buttercup get my vote as the favourites!!
