The OH has done something of immense stupidity (for a change). Chopped chillis, went to the loo now he feels like a very delicate part of his anatomy is on fire. He really is in agony (and I did laugh...
OK so I'm desperate to use my new ice cream maker. I've got some strawberries so I think I'll have a tinker later. My question is this: Some recipes use eggs and some do not. Which makes the nicest...
My clever clever naughty chickens sent out a raiding party. They managed to get their greedy little beaks on a large container of young onion plants I had grown from seeds which I was due to plant out...
In your view, what is the best thing since sliced bread?
I saw a similar post like this and the best answer (not mine) was "screw top wine".
What's yours.............
My OH has a really really terrible memory. It's actually reached the point where it is no laughing matter because he simply forgets to do really important things or tell me about really important...
My gx4 grandfather was born in 1786 in Halesworth. Parents Edward and Sarah. He had a number of siblings but I can't trace what happened to any of them. It appears that Edward died in 1795. We next...
I got 3 chooks (Light Sussex) 2 weeks ago. I was told they were 18/19 weeks old (although I am sure one is a lot younger). Over the last 2 days one of them has been doing a lot of random sitting down....
by my soon to be very beaten up future husband to run a stall at a local charity event. The theme for my stall is "home produce" on the basis that I can cook and I can garden. Beginning of...
I'm getting so peed off with the same old "fresh" pasta in the shops, I've decided to make my own. Think I need a pasta machine though because I'll get sick to death of rolling it out. Can...
Nothing whatsoever to do with Easter, but with a bit of luck I shall be collecting 3 chickens on Sunday. Any suggestions for names? I was thinking Charlotte, Emily and Anne. The FH suggested Tikka...
I thought with the hard winter we had there would be less of those nasty stingey angry things but for the last 3 weeks, we've been inundated. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed a lot of them...
Me and the FH both have our cars fully insured with full NCD. We've just acquired a third car (it's actually my old car which has been on long term loan). It's only a Peugeot 306 and worth naff all,...
I have a wooden coffee table. No idea what type of wood it is but it's a dark colour. Someone (whom shall remain nameless) put his hot tray of food on it last night. Consequently, I now have a lovely...
The other half has used some masking tape because he has been cutting and polishing the car. He put this stuff all over the chrome to protect it. Unfortunately, it got baked in the sun and now he...
TH - I didn't realise that Madrid were playing Spurs!!!! I used to be married to a Spurs supporter. I divorced him. So the answer to your question is:- Yes cheering for Madrid is just jolly fine. Also...

I've grown some aisla craig and some red baron from seed this year. Seedlings are in the polytunnel, although I am now hardening them off. Do I need to do anything with them to plant them out? For...
Well I want to talk chickens. (Or hanging baskets). Trim wants to talk about himself. Ummm wants to talk about her lack of tomatoes but loads of lettuces. China probably wants to talk about shoes. Doc...
On Tuesday I noticed a pair of blackbirds nesting in the climber above the patio doors. Now apart from making sure the FH doesn't start hacking it back on one of his "pruning days", what...
The zip on my polytunnel is not working! You can move it up and down, and it knits the thing together but then immediately splits open. I can't take the zip out and replace it (the polytunnel is...
