Alis girls Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I am always coming out with some gem or other I have learnt off forum. Have made 2 cakes off recipe site. Revived a bee with honey and OH and I watched spellbound as it came back to life . Citronella oil all the window to try and keep out flies and well the list is endless.

AJuff Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I know how to grow leeks, what to do with ants in my compost, how many eggs to put under a broody, that garlic stops poo smelling, what happens during a moult, how to introduce new hens, . . . and many many more things. I also feel very supported as OH often does not understand where I'm coming from, especially relating to chooks! thank you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 So much valuable information on here - it couldn't be put in a book small enough to carry, and even met up with other omleteers. I have also found who are the loonies - and having such fun with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Koojie Bear was a little (or rather someone dressed up) in a koala bear outfit on Rolf Harris shows. My brother is 8 years younger than me and instead of calling me Kerry, he kept calling me Koo - then it became Koojie Bear after that. I'm still called Koojie by mum. Of course I am not a looney myself, I just play with them! I gather the original was "Coojee" bear. Edited July 6, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffyknickers Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes I agree lots of knowledge gained - this forum also costs me a fortune - fryers, bags etcetc! I hate my name on here and was too stupid to realise when registering it would be what is going to show all the time on the forums. I want to change it actually - just hope it wont confuse people!
