Yep... 3 chickens called Harry, Ron & Hermione haha

(L-R Ron, Harry, Hermione)

Ron's ginger, Harry's speckled (spectacled... haha) and Hermione is the pretty one (I know she wasn't pretty in the first few stories, but she's stunning now).
They're all girls though, so when I get asked why two of them have got boys, Ron is short for Veronica and Harry is short for Harriett haha.

Awwwww they are so cute! Do u get many eggs? Poppy's Foundation Year have Chickens, the kids are all fascinated by them! X

Loving the chickens!

Glad you had a good time at the wedding Serena. Hope you get that 70 page form done quickly. Remember if it's tricky to fill out, the citizens advice bureau should provide assistance.

We get 3 eggs most days.

Sometimes they'll go through phases of moulting, where they won't lay eggs for a few weeks.
But it's usually one at a time that does it, so the other two will still be laying.
Harry went through a phase of being constantly broody not long after we got them and she didn't lay for ages.
Just sat in the little nest box keeping the other two's eggs warm lol.

3 Eggs a day is fab, I could do with that with all the cakes I make! X

Good Afternoon Sweeties

Just a very quick update before I walk to get Poppy from School.

I walked into town and earned me 2 AP Am over halfway to 3AP and I haven't even done the School Walk or Leslie yet!

I posted the Form off And Atomics Chocolate Drops Parcel

I then had a mooch round town as I knew where everything was cheapest, and yes Trina my list was written in the order I walked through the town!

So I went into Sainsburys for my Heinz Beanz/Spaghetti & Lemon Curd, Wilko for my Sure Deodrant, Harpic Tablets and Bloo Cistern Block and into Tesco for Poppy's Cheestrings. Saved myself loads of pennies and gave myself a good workout walking and carrying the heavy bag! Treated myself to some Cherries for later (Reduced of course!)

Hope you're all having a fab Monday Sweeties. X

Which oven chips are they for 3pp?! Cuz that's a bloody bargain.
WW oven chips are 5pp for 100g and mccains micro chips are 4pp for a 100g box.

Awesome news on the APs. I haven't done my 8000 steps yet. Only on 5442 =/

Yummy dinner, though that amount of quiche looks teeny tiny to me I usually have half a big one. No wonder I'm the size I am

McCain Oven Chips, 100g Frozen is 3pp I think this might be my first day of 6AP since having the Pedometer!!!x

That was a 1/4 of a Big One, I buy them when they're reduced and freeze them in Quarters! That one cost me 25p and has done 4 Dinners!x

I'm usually very sensible when it comes to freezing things in individual portions-2 sausages, one chicken breast etc but I must say I never thought of cutting the quiche up and freezing it in quarters! That's genius! x

Me? A Genius? Why thank you very much lol x I also grate my cheese and freeze it in 50g Zipper Bags as most recipes call for multiples of 50 so I take out however bags I need.x

Dinner looks yumtastic! Quiche, chips and beans is clearly a winning combination.

Glad that working the points out for the wedding provided a bit of reassurance. And those bargains from Asda are great. I spy several packets of figs - got anything planned for them? I love them baked with blue cheese. Mmmmmm. But then again I like most things baked with blue cheese...

It's hard to believe that 16 Figs/4 Packs would cost £10! I ate 2 today for a snack after my walk, according to the Shop Guide u can only have 2 for 0pp?!? I'm going to donate 2 Packs to my Parents, they are currently doing the 5:2 Diet so don't have to limit their fruit as much. I got them 1.5kg of Plums for 50p today, they are gonna be happy!x

 

[Atomic pink]

Fresh figs surely wouldn't have any pps however many you ate?? Fresh fruit is 0pp however much you eat isn't it???

They are really nice in porridge too. With your 0pp tsp of golden syrup

Apparently it's only 0pp to the Quantity in the Guide, after that it has PP :-( It sucks lol, I'm sure no one in the world got fat eating figs!!! I can't eat Porridge, it makes my Ibs really bad :-( x
