Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well done Uncle John. Is he for hire? My thoughts exactly, and does he like dogs in the mix - I have 3!!!! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti chick Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 my girls must have been happy with uncle john looking after them as he had 2 x 11 egg days and today i got 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Probably got spoilt by Uncle John! Mums have rules they (try to) stick to, Uncles remember a few rules & make the rest of it up as they go along rather like my lot's Nanny & Grandad !
