The Dogmother Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Oh no! I bet you did some cussing! Glad to hear that the pork tastes good; you'll have time to savour it properly soon enough Have you got enough for the year now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Oh no!! What a mess!! The freezers will make lovely buffet tables with a cloth over them! Don't worry about that - I'm sure even your inlaws will excuse you that much . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 They don't excuse me anything - all the World problems are my fault They've got two choices.......... They were invited from 2.30 -5.00 - some of them can't come until later, so after all the upset they caused, they still can't be bothered to put themselves out ........ and they can still 'clear off' at 5pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Well what a hectic time you have been having! The up side to having freezers in your dining room is that when they do make it to their rightful home you will think your dining room is massive and appreicate all the space you have!

Lesley Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 ...... and we won't have to put the heating on until they've gone I have a confession to make - you know those little bits of plastic that the manufacturer puts along the lid of the freezer to prevent it being completely closed during transit? The ones you are supposed to take off so the lid closes and therefore you aren't trying to freeze a whole room?................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 - it was only the one freezer - the other was OK. More haste - less speed, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 We've been without PC's since last night - mine is still not operational, I'm on Carl's. On Wednesday night, we set the cat trap and caught Willow. She went to the vet at 8am Thursday. We picked her up at 2am and put her in the spare chicken house, in the cat basket with the front removed. We reset the trap last night, not expecting to catch another but we caught Peach - another trip to the vet at 8 am this morning. Willow was fine and now Peach is in the chicken house. 2 down - 999 to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Oh Lesley it sounds like a challenge catching them all. Good luck with it Can you persuade your vet to do a BOGOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 It's not a problem Kate as we managed to acquire vouchers for neutering from a friend of my son who is quite high up in the RSPCA - he was very annoyed that we weren't helped in the first place. We have spoken to the vet and senior nurse and have an arrangement that we are able to take them in as we catch them. When I initially spoke to the receptionist, she said I had to make an appointment We will be setting the trap again tonight and hope to catch the male cat and have him seen to - I shall be chasing him with a couple of bricks soon if we don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Great news about catching the cats Lesley - that's the bigger girls done then. I bet the boy is a devil to catch though How did it go with the clan? Did Carl need to practice his shooting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Welll.......... I'm still living.......... and so are they.......... enough said We didn't set the trap last night but will tonight. I've been ordering all manner of building materials ready for the end of the week when my son is able to come and do some work. We will be doing up two of the outbuildings - a combined Brewery and Sausage factory in one room and a freezer room next to it. We will have a cold store built in the freezer room after we've committed the next Bank Robbery We have plaster board/ thermailite blocks/sand/cement/food grade PVC wall cladding/ rubber flooring........ all being delivered. I can't wait to see the finished rooms and be able to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 The eggs/chicks in the incubator are cheeping I was hoping that one of the bantams would have gone broody by now but never mind. We are nearly all set up to cope with them ourselves this time. Last time, I had convinced myself that nothing was going to happen We are supposed to be out most of tomorrow - our 'one day holiday' but we'll have to see now. We are collecting a livestock trailer from Ross on Wye. We were going to stop at Hay on Wye first, mooch around the bookshops and have some lunch before heading to Ross. Also, the carpenter started today and will be here tomorrow - he was supposed to be here last week We may have chicks by the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
