Snowy Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Well, half way through the week - still 4 days to go! Keep those bids coming in and think of all those battery hens that will have a better life thanks to you! I'm doing quite well on the bribes front as well - jam, pens, crabapples, quail eggs (wouldn't mind some plums though ... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 ....how about a bed eating, teatowel stealing, dog? Surely you don't mean that lovable little dog of yours? I could be persuaded, but Carl would never forgive me! (neither would my OH come to think of it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Gal Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 What variety of bird is it that is bred for battery hens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Jethro the cat is very lovable- he sits on your knee if you are still longer than 20 seconds would you like him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Jethro the cat is very lovable- he sits on your knee if you are still longer than 20 seconds would you like him? I'd love him Jules but I'm allergic to cats! Thanks anyway! Dancing Gal - I think battery hens must be similar to our gingernuts from omlet; a cross between the RIR and light sussex; as they can be sexed at hatching and lay like troopers!

Lesley Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 She just knows it winds you up and she can have a chase me game round the fireplace Not me! - I refuse to give her the attention. I walk away and then return with a water squirter. I'm never going to beat her at "chase me round the fireplace" I must have a look down the back of the sofa and see if I have enough to make a bid on the bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 Only 27 hours left to bid! If you don't do it now, you never will. Don't forget, this bag is unique - there will never be another just like this! AND it's your opportunity to really make a difference in the lives of those hard working battery girls! (I hate bigging up my own work, but anything for the BHWT! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'll do it for you then Snowy!! I have two of Snowy's bags - they are beautiful to look at and even more importantly, exceptionally well made! I love my bags - they go everywhere. Don't miss this opportunity to buy an early Christmas present and also to help the BHWT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntine Also a great big thank you to Snowy for organising this and for doing it for the girls.
