chicken bark Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Here was I joining a lovely friendly forum to discuss and get advice on all chicken related matters. Little did I know from reading this forum I would end up with ducks... although at least feather related but now seem to have started getting none chicken/duck related items. A few weeks ago I purchased a pair of Bearpaw boots (very good) and today I have ordered a Kindle. So thanks to everyone for advice given and please don't start discussing cars, holidays, house extensions etc etc as it could get very expensive for me.

Blackrocksrock Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 LOL - what are we like - I think everyone on here has done this - I had to draw the line at some things though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I agree - having purchased a breadmaker (well OH did) as recommended by Omleters and a doormat which was recommended as well and is wonderful except the auboise I walk in from hens sticks to it - and having cooked stuff on here 3 recipes which have been so well received and been passed on to friends - it has plenty to answer for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Oh yes this forum has a lot to answer for................all those jams and chutneys I've made, all that sewing I seem to be doing ( along with the purchase of a sewing machine) and the Lemon Drizzle cake is a regular in this household. I've become (according to my friends) a one woman WI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Have you discovered the get together section. What time you are not shopping for Omlet musthaves you're meeting other Omleteers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 yeah - but as theres never a London one I tend to skip that bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 YES i agree you Omleteers really do have a lot to answer for...... ...wool Duvets and pillows...fab value and i love them. WIR and run furniture.....pure breed banties...food....recipies......Book club.....coffee machines.....the list goes on. I will admit my life is richer in fab eggs which lead to wonderful cakes, great company and talks with the chooks and then to settle down with a good book and my coffee wrapped in my slanky waiting for bed after the latest episode of Bones and CSI..

Valkyrie Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 You didn't mention sheds, greenhouses or allotments! Then there's the healthy eating bit too which is great as we all encourage each other to lose weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 As a result of this forum I have baked more (and got the cuddly bits to prove it) a slow cooker a Kenwood Chef, fab for bread making much better than breadmaker started using Aubiose and even learnt how to pronounce it...I think bought hens from Cotswold Chickens spent many a happy hour on the forum instead of doing housework read lots of great books bought an egg clacker and a Dualit toaster and found some really useful information about a lot of things and plenty of friendly advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 What's an egg clacker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 It is a device for taking the top off a boiled egg and amazingly it actually works I hope that this link works http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=egg+clacker&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=6170407074&ref=pd_sl_8x6zy0wz3p_e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
