Oh my. Spider look. It's been a shock - and yes, it's always worse when it comes right out of the blue as well - sorta like someone pulling the rug from under your feet, huh? I sort of agree with what others have said - yes, a routine is good - although I don't go out to work & have no routine w...

There.... now you should have read up on that before you started, you know.

Then again if, like me, you 'do'... and then read the destructions when it all goes tits up.......

Mmmm.... I think the BEST black pudding I ever had was as a starter in a York restaurant with a guinness sauce. Oh, it was Delish!

All you Marmite bods should be banished to a little island & live in misery - oh, hang on, you're all in the Uk - Nuff said!

We got a little moggy from the local cat rescue & he's an odd little character. One of my customers told me that he was so friendly... ?? All I ever see him doing is sleeping on the bed all day & then he's out all night - doesn't really have anything to do with us! :lol: Anyway, I started of...

Bloody hell Andy - you're becoming one of those there respectable folks - who'd a thought!! :lol: Well done though, when we first bought in Blackpool, we went from £440 a month rent to £250 a month mortgage - it was VERY noticeable - and then the decorating started.... :roll: Congrats!! Housewarming...

So not fair. :( I used to steward at the Blackpool Pride & we always had such a fantastic time, making new friends every year. Oh, and then there was the 'after party' at Funny Girls as well! Sadly, Prides really haven't caught on as far 'west & country' where we are & although they have...

Yep, I have 3 more rooster boys ready to go for the oven over the next week or 2 plus a turkey stag who has taken exception to the husband.... :mrgreen: I put approximately 2 dozen assorted eggs in the cabinet each day & they all sell at €1.50 for 6, so that's about €40 to €45 a week. The feed c...

Well, personally I think Denmark are right to ban Marmite. Then everyone can just have Bovril on their toast, like what I do.....

Love it? Hate it? I think you know what camp I fall in, ahaha!

Haha.... do they fancy a holiday in the Republic??

Ishy things that I'm grateful for..... As Nikki said, Ishy Friends who keep me company all day long every day, especially on FB. And the freedom to speak as I see without getting shot down by same Ishy friends. Thank you from me too Ladies :grouphug: Watching 2 of my hens with their 7 chicks a piece...

Ahhh, right. I get it now! OK, so in MY house, I'd be better off freezing them then, because cupboard space is SO short. If I had enough storage space for jars & cans maybe I'd rethink the bottling thing - but popping them into a bag & into the freezer... well that's a whole new story. Thank...

For those of us who can only grow them in season :roll: ...............Last year we had a glut as you do so froze a load.....but, instead of blanching them to get the skins of we just froze them as they were :mrgreen: They were great, we just chucked a handful in to all sorts of dishes .....We'll n...

Abso-bloody-lutely!!! :lol: :lol: Although..... a HUGE roll of polytunnel plastic was delivered yesterday & hubby has built the 2 new wood frames for my new polyhouses - so that will make 3 in total - ok, they are only 18 ft long by 6 ft wide, but with 3 I can still do rotations etc... so there!...

Oh now look what you've gone and done okra - you'll get Odsox started! Moi ? Surely not. :iconbiggrin: I think you may be preaching to the converted a bit Okra, although I agree wholeheartedly with you. One thing though, if you like home grown so much, why don't you grow them all year round ? If I ...
