Summary anyone? :)

I still have my old school recorder but the only thing I can remember how to play is London's Burning. I don't even know what the notes are any more it just comes from some sort of muscle memory.
So if you want a squeaky version of London's Burning played on a loop I'm ya gal .

Pixel, I reckon I can manage London's burning. We'll rock out with a round.

Thanks purple.

I'm sorry I'm away this evening. So you'll have to wait til tomorrow for the update!

I can probably manage London's burning on the recorder too. DS has a harmonica (thanks MiL Father Christmas ). I'll bring the dog's new, extra squeeky dog toy - she likes throwing it around and squeeking it - I bet that would get the horses out of the field!!!

Mistle make it so.

If I made Toblerone cheesecake (without Baileys), my 10 yr old DS will love me forever more than he does already. He adores Toblerone, utterly adores it.

Growingold, I missed the Turkish delight vodka! I made some rhubarb and custard vodka last year, it was amazing.

Hello OP! I have jumped to the end of both threads but understand you've got squatters in your field. Sorry, if I'm repeating advice here, but I believe you may have rights to claim these horses as your own as they are living rent free on your land. Might be worth a Google, and if this is the case you can let your squatter know that you intend to sell these horses unless they are gone by a set date. If by law these horses are now legally yours, you can contact a charity to come get them, or indeed sell them. Worth checking out, even just to use to put the willies up your squatter. Good luck!

Thanks sleep :) I'm still hoping they'll leave by the deadline, but if not I shall do my research!

Apologies for the lateness of this 'recipe'... I don't think it really counts as there are very few actual instructions! There are also very few measurements, it's mostly done by eye... This recipe came from a mumsnetter whose name I have forgotten so if you're reading this - I apologise for tinkering with your much better instructions which I managed to lose and had to recreate by memory
This is not a baked cheesecake, but a chilled one. Nickymanchesters version sounds yummy and I will definitely give that one a try one day but this one I have made several times and has always gone down well.

Make a biscuit base by crushing half a big packet of digestives and blending in a quarter of a packet of butter (so 75g I think) that's been melted. Press firmly into a loose bottomed cake tin and put in the fridge to set firm for at least 15 minutes.

Blend together a 250g tub of room temperature marscapone cheese and a cup of icing sugar until well combined. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Whip a 300ml tub of double cream until thick. If you are adding the baileys, add a good slug to the cream before whipping. Fold the whipped cream into the marscapone mixture, then fold in a large, very well chopped up toblerone. Pour onto biscuit base, smooth out the top and set in the fridge for at least four hours, but overnight is best...

I can confirm that this recipe also works very well with a chopped up half of a Terry's chocolate orange - for that version, I used chocolate digestives for the base and that was awesome...

I have also made the cheesecake topping without chocolate and instead swirled in some lemon curd, or passion fruit curd... You can play around with whatever flavours you like!

Enjoy!

Hope you've had a good day FYC.

Do you know which cheese is best for hiding horses? Marscapone!

I have just read this thread having ignored it thinking you were the one who was angst-riven regarding a teenager smoking in their teenager's bedroom.

I am worried we are near neighbours. We've been put under pressure to accept two horses. My neighbour briefly accepted two horses to live on his land (adjacent to mine) about 8 months ago but it didn't work out.

If so, can I come to your party? I won't bring anything but will happily enlighten you of any branches of wood (and indeed whole trees) your party irresponsibly and carelessly dump in your field (free of charge)!

Come on OP, fess up. Does you post of 17.28 last night indicate there is some kind of update to be bad? Hmm? Hmm?

Frankel, I'm sorry to mislead :) we won't be back until this evening, but I'm anticipating a glorious return to an empty shed! Huzzah!

Terror :) just say no! It's much easier not to let them on than to get them off again. I'll let you have a share of the word in return for the labour :)

Alpaca, cheesecake related horse puns? I'm a trifle impressed!

Although, in reality, I'm probably more likely to come home to them ensconced on my sofa, eating my good (whilst whining that I don't have their favourite crisps in), and telling me about how they're having to move in for a few months because they've run out of rent money.

Turkeys. A couple. Horses hate 'em!
Also, nobody will give you the, "A turkey is for life, not just for Xmas," because a turkey isn't a puppy & is just for Xmas !

Rudolph, that's genius

I can confirm that this recipe also works very well with a chopped up half of a Terry's chocolate orange

I've never thought of that. Really good idea Alpaca

What was the deadline for the field? I'm a bit lost!

What are you going to do if the shed is still full?

Renter, field deadline is 31st of march. Shed deadline was yesterday. Request to put up electric fencing before the 1st of feb so that we can still use the field up until the end of march was met with "I can't possibly do it by then I'll have to get someone else to sort it". Oh and deadline for moving other stuff out of the field (that I don't think I mentioned) was 2nd of feb.

I'm not holding my breath on the electric fencing as it does cost money and it's possible they may not be able to afford it, but I am hoping that the threat of that cost may make them move quicker to avoid it. I don't know.

The fight's gone out of me a bit. Too many sleepless nights with dd, dh is feeling low, and the other more important issues are causing a lot of work and needing a lot of emotional energy (which I don't have).

If I get home today and the shed isn't cleared it's going to be a huge kick in the teeth. If it is then there is some hope that they'll respect deadlines.

:( I'm tired of feeling ground down.

HV is coming out tomorrow to check I'm ok. I'm very lucky that she's so nice.

Merry, probably cry.

If we have the time and energy, stick it in the field under a tarp.

I want to point out that I'm not a crier by nature. I normally only cry a few times a year. I'm not usually this fragile. Stupid fragile head.

It's ok to cry, you are under a lot of pressure from these people and you are unwell. Shall I come round,with cake, brew up and we can have a good sob together. It'll be better than holding it in. If you like we could go and stand at the gate of your field and scream too.It's very theraputic. Then eat some of Alpaca's cheesecake. (which sounds divine and I'm gutted it's not free food on SW but then neither is cake, Heyho!)

Ah! I was confused about all the plans for FuckYouFest before the March deadline!

Tell your HV as much as you can without revealing your MN threads (which would cause a serious shitstorm), and maybe she'll have some other advice, as well as being a human voice saying the same things as the rest of us (you csn't see our faces nor hear our voices). She may even do some local gossiping on your behalf. After all, here's a second emotionally vulnerable family in the house, under pressure to do without peace and quiet in their own space. I was really struck by what you said, about the rescuers' having little regard for the people, in all their rescuing. Fine thanks to the vulnerable former owners, who "facilitated" the rescuers' in feeling good about themselves!

Hope you get a good rest today!

If the shed hasn't been emptied when you get back you'd be within reason to empty it yourself and leave their belongings under a tarpaulin. I'd also put a padlock of your own on the shed door to stop them moving their stuff back in.

There may even be a few local MNetters willing to come over to help you empty it. Hell I'd offer to come myself if I wasn't a) on the other side of the country and b) 35 weeks pregnant!

Chris, electric fencing is soooooo easy to put up, only an imbecile would need help. A starter kit can be bought from ebay for less that £100, nothing in comparison to the rent they are going to have to find when they move on.

I installed my own mains powered fence on permanent stakes around a 4 acre field and 1/2 acre 10 line hen pen within that in a weekend. A line on plastic posts takes a lot less than an hour to install. Had they had the decency to do this right at the start then things may have been different, in fact if they had shown any decency at all such as offering rent and taking your privacy into account!
