Hi Nikki

Really sorry it's taken me so long to reply - I am a bit usless when it comes to doing things I'm meaning to at the mo!! I'm afraid I can't make it - would love to come but Sid's in Barcelona and no baby sitter available

Hope you have a fab time, hope to see you very soon xxx

Hi, just wanting some opinions! We lost one of our hens a few weeks ago now and the children are really keen to get some more as we know only have 2 left. My question though is.... Is this a good time to introduce new hens when their spending so much time 'indoors' or might it be better to wait till...

My girls will stay out quite late , I've got fed up of waiting for them recently so have started shutting them into the run attached to the house and leaving the actual house open - saves a lot of noise in the morning too when they get up before me :lol: That said our garden it completely enclosed -...

Ohhh, good question!! Like most people here I'm on the well cooked side for pork and chicken, I don't eat fish at all (allergies!) so can't comment there but when It comes to red meat.... I would have to say I like it on the raw side - steak and bacon are amazing totally raw, if it's a good cut!!! I...

:angryfire: I think someone at the BBC wants a pay rise, so they came up with this.... :wink: Lol that does seem likely :wink: - I know plenty of people that earn way less than that and certainly aren't struggling! It's not far off our families yearly income - but we do so much with it... There are ...

Let me know how it turned out - I'd like to freeze some as I cooked too many

I have had this problem for a number of years now :( I was told that it was a lack of Salt in my diet which I'd cut back on due to blood pressure and family history of heart disease. Anyhow I've never found a drug or supplement that worked and Ive tried quite a few (I am awake now as legs want to be...

So we have a simple rule - if I pay for it you put up with it - if you don' like it buy it yourself. That's how it works in my house too! My boys are 10 and 8 - I did the explanations, I did the "looks there's lots of things here you DO like", I've tried the lot and ended up with 'you can...

My 3 are out of nappies now, but I found that organisation really is the key - it's amazing what you can stick where, I did find drying nappies difficult in the depths of a damp winter so I got a heated towel rail in a small room and that did the trick - it's also much more economical to run than a ...

That's what I do to Fee Fairy, takes a little more time than the recycle option, but much more satisfying

Vodka is good for colds - mixed with some warm blackcurrent!! (well in my house anyway) There is also the Vodka Melon... 1. Take a water melon and cut a small (shot glass sized) hole in the skin and put to one side 2. pour as much vodka into the melon as will soak in 3. replace the cut skin in the w...

I like this one :iconbiggrin: I have a kitchen full of stuff - I have.... I whole draw full of knives and peelers and juicers and other odd things my favourites being a Crinkle slicing knife, a corkscrew cutter and a pastry knife thant i mostly use on banana's and eggs!! I have the standard microwav...

Hello :iconbiggrin: Love the idea of making your girls a mei tai - I have a pattern for a proper baby sized one but it would be easy to adapt, I'll give it to you next time I see you!! doll clothes are really easy! there's loads of patterns on the web or even use the tiny togs (premmie site) for pat...

lol! If you're quite dextrous you could try doing the knitting/crocheting with cotton gloves on? I've also heard that freezing it first can make it easier to work with - I'm looking to make a shopping bag that I've seen a pattern for - but maybe I won't :icon_smile: How did the slippers turn out? x
