Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[Mrs Frugal]

22 users at the moment! Are we pracitising for the big event??

[Cate in NZ]

Is it a sign of children being back at school- more of us having a little free time . That said I wasn't one of the 22, I've been at work this morning

[Mrs Frugal]

That's the beauty of working on a computer Kate!

[Mrs Frugal]

Ah now that's a shame Dan. We need to break the 25 online at once record! We could have done with you !!

 

A few of us met up in July but it would be great to have a BIG OMLET GET TOGETHER - we'll have to nag the guys at Omlet HQ, won't we!

[Mel (& Paul)]

That would be a GREAT idea - just need to think of somewhere in the middle of all of us!

[Lesley]

Omlet HQ is in the middle of us all - my garden isn't large enough for a bigger get-together than we had in July!

[Mel (& Paul)]

Just been looking at the photo of that!

Oxford is not too far for us (couple of hours or so) - but it does depend on this fuel crisis Had call from husband at 6am this morning (dont worry I was already up!) to say there were already queues at petrol stations

[Mrs Frugal]

Oxford's not far for us but it's a long way for those who are more northerly. We need to find a big park or something like that which is bang splat in the middle of the country so we can have a mega Eglu owners picnic or something like that!

 

Burghley Park's big enough but I don't know if it's splat in the middle of the country enough!

[Lesley]

Birmingham is bang splat in the middle!

[Mrs Frugal]

Is it!! Well we need to find a nice venue in Birmingham then !

[Lesley]

Nice? Birmingham? hmmm.........

 

(no offence to anyone in Birmingham!)

[Louise]

The NEC's quite big

 

Only kidding.

 

A get together would be great hopefully I can get to the next one too. In fact there are a few of us 'north of the borderers' now maybe we can sort a minibus or something

 

Maybe the others could let me know if they are interested by PM

 

failing that I have 2 seats in my car so I can always bring one other

 

The first get together was such good fun we really need to try to have another BIGGER one

[rachel19]

My geography is terrible - how far away is Birmingham from South Coast?

[Mel (& Paul)]

About 6 inches in my atlas................

 

sorry, about 160 miles from Poole - about 3 hours drive?

[AnnieJ]

Can I join in? -

my chicks arrive on Sept 23rd so probably won't be signing on at 4pm. Will try to log in later to check out the news and the record. Any predictions of numbers so far - it must be more than 25

[Mrs Frugal]

Course you can, Annie. The more the merrier and even if we don't break the record, it's going to be a bit of fun anyway!

[Sheilaz]

Doh....Of all the dates! I don't think I'll be near a computer that afternoon or evening after all I'll try and log on at 7, 8 & 9 am to get a few people in training...and hourly through the night for any stray birds?

[motherhen]

I suspect it will go on all evening Sheila - I might even treat the family to a takeaway so I can enjoy all the cyber fun

[Amythefoxslayer!]

Atgh, can't come I'm omn an outward bound course that day ( yes on my birthday! ) Sorry, I'll be thinking of you all

[Mrs Frugal]

Hey it's tomorrow! Mustn't forget!! Remind me, won't you, if I'm not here! I'll hear you shouting !

[Lesley]

Don't forget - 4pm today!!!!

[Cate in NZ]

I'm here already Lesley, logged on early to be first in the cake queue

Actually, a day off today, so just checking up on the forum before I tackle the housework. When it's the children and homework I call it delaying tactics... when it's me and the forum it's an essential bit of keeping up to date with things

[Jason]

Right that's the calendar set, out-of-office written and OH warned of my impending lateness tonight. Speak to you all later.

 

I just hope work doesn't start checking my internet usage levels or I'll be in trouble.

 

Speaking of which - http://www.ourchickens.com was mentioned in the Metro this morning for chicken webcam fun!

[Guest]

 

It's today??! I forgot! Typical - I agreed to start work early tonight, but will pop in for the 4 pm start. Will you all still be on when I get home at 11? Is that a stupid question??!

[Louise]

I have it marked in my diary

 

At a meeting last week I was filling the rest of the dept in on activities for this week got to Fridays page and said 'no nothing you guys need to be involved in' even though in large letters scrawled across the page is

 

4pm Forum meeting Omlet

 

 

I will just be a little late home tonight. I won't be here at 11 Shona but I am sure some of the others will still be here but I will raise a glass to you all with my dinner which will be an omelette tonight in celebration of the record
