rarara Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I didn't really have to try either He saw me looking on here the first day and was like yeah right and we had a laugh. I then confessed today about my idea about keeping chickens and he said 'i know, because of all the tabs you have up' lol! Anyway long story short he says it's ok, but i'm still a nutter and that our neighbours prob won't be too happy about it. Well my first war is won. Now to prepare! Woohoo Love you Ygerna for bringing this possibility to my attention. Now to decide what I need and where I'll get the money from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
