dippy bird Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 spaghetti is fab - i love watching mine race round with it in their mouths! What I hate though is seeing them with the giblets of big fat slugs hanging out of their mouths! EEwwwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 That's just sooooooooooooo funny. Got me wondering what I'd do. I'm hopeless at this sort of thing and I guess I would just have to own up I'm such a coward I think I'd phone my hubby the day before he came home, blurt it out and put the phone down. He can always tell when I'm being economical with the truth. Best of luck ............. I'm sure he'll be so delighted to see you again you'll get away with most things.

That by now your hubby, holding warm cuppa or wee dramm, smiling watching the feathered darlings.

Patricia W Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 But you got them for them didn't you?? Personally, I'd be inclined to slip it in as a BTW - oh and guess what? We won 12 hens in a raffle whilst you were away- saving loads on eggs etc etc... Tricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clur Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 You could always do what I did "darling, I'm feeling broody - shall we have another baby?". He went green and started stammering and I said "or we could always get chickens?". He was remarkably receptive to the idea of chickens after that!!!

beulah59 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Oh thank you - haven't laughed like this in days! I'd go with the 'look what I've bought you as a coming home present ...' Keeping hens was OH's idea ... only by the time I'd planned it all out he'd forgotten he'd ever said it *doh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'm with the broody idea!! I love it! Might even try that one myself if I ever feel the need to get more girlies. Soooooooo sneaky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Tilytinkle Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 BROODY . . . would be the last excuse for me.

Valkyrie Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Oh gosh this is eggciting and so so naughty. We added to our pet rats - OH was NOT amused and didn't talk to us for days. I thought that was a bonus really. And if I were to use the excuse of babies or chickens he'd know I was lying - apart from age, I'd be like Ms Tilytinkle - and I'm grey enough at the moment! Hmmm Chicube. I know - it was extremely windy one day while you were away and it landed in the garden - I tried to find out who owned it, but they are indeed chickens of fate, so as I felt sorry for them after their terrible ordeal, it would be mean to make them go away. Or something like that. Of course fingers crossed behind your back helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think you could do worse than send him this thread to read. At least he'd have a ****** good laugh AND calm down dear .............they're only chickens Hey, I wrote****** and it didn't get changed to Ooops word censored.
