Apart from being a busy mother and home maker, I've just started work as a Tupperware distributor. Why no link I hear you ask? well their UK site is very boring and doesn't even let you buy online. So there's not much point visiting it. on the other hand, if you're after a salad crisper or wotnot, mail me with your requirements and I'll be pleased to oblige.
I've always dreamt of having some chickens in the garden. Jez has always complained (suprise, suprise) that it'll create a mess and make a racket, but I've finally done it. I now have four chucks. in a neat little house, merrily laying eggs in the back garden. Of course they all have names: Lulu, Poppy, Daisy and Buffy (the vampire layer) A.K.A Raptor. Jez promptly renamed them breakfast, dinner, lunch and tea, but who cares what he thinks! They're not just regular chickens, they're a Rhode Island Red/Light Sussex cross. Jez still says they look like dinnner.
We're getting on average 15 eggs a week, which is a few more than we can use so we're now self sufficient in the egg department. If you've never had a fresh egg, I can recommend that you try one. They have much more flavour than anything even free range, that you can buy. It must be the diet of slugs, snails and woodlice!
We acquired them from an animal sanctuary who had rescued them from a battery farm. They're now fully recharged and have established a pecking order with Raptor firmly at the top.
