The brand spanking new Joseph thread.

[LyraB]

Hellllloooooo! Anyone there?

Slayerette has disappeared under her marking.

Sunday Berrie??
I'm expecting Binkle to sit down the minute she gets home and give us a blow by blow account of her evening. Canapes and all

Ah but I won't be up

Nor will I, but I could set an alarm

Now that is true fanship

What are you planning to do today? Is it raining up there?

It's raining here, and the neighbours on either side have got noisy building work going on and I'm feeling a bit rough after last night's overindulgence in Rose and DS2 has some kind of puking bug.

Oh dear crappy day Lyra.
It's raining here too and I have to keep getting on Ds's train and going to Cornwall. Then we have to get off and play on the beach...again and again...

No rain here yet. Sun is trying to break through.
Having a day at home cleaning, tidying, doing washing, cleaning out chicken house, keeping dd amused.... such an exciting life I lead

Tidying through mounds of mess built up while I tried to revise for interview...getting there meanwhile the train is now doubling as an ice cream van, I've had several already...

Berrie wistfully imagines keeping chickens like her own mother did as a child...forgetting actual smell of chiken poo and the headless corpses littered around the garden when the fox got to them

Don't do it Berrie! You'll have to wire the place up like Guantanamo Bay just to keep out those pesky foxes. OTH, fresh eggs are just amazing....

And congrats on the job, you must be delighted. £19 ph huh? I wish!

Tbh Berrie, I've never had a headless corpse. The most I've ever found is a pile of feathers. The foxes up here must be pretty hungry.

I can delay no longer - chicken shit here I come...

Tee hee, I'll not bother then.

What other animals do you both have then?

Currently, 2 lurchers, 1 cat, 7 hens, 1 cockerel, 2 ponies...

Really am going now .

2 dogs, 7 puppies, 18 cattle, around 250 partridge, 20 pheasant, and we did have about 70 pigs, but I soon knocked that nonsense on the head. And let's not forget the 7 chickens we had until Mr Fox came out one chilly night. No, he didn't leave any corpses. I vaguely remember 2 ferrets but they made a successful bid for freedom ages ago.

Ooh, respect, Boing.

We did have a 1 cow last year but we ate it

That's me gone.

Lordy, farmer boing and farmer oggs!
Boing it really is a good job you swapped nappies for mucking out! And I thought I had my hands full! How do you ever find time for Mumsnet?

Oggs!!! You just made me snort my coffee all over my keyboard.

To answer your question Berrie - I work full time precisely so I don't have to muck things out (house included!!!) - which obviously gives me time to mess about on Mumsnet hehehe....look at this way, DS is in no danger of developing allergies or asthma due to an unhealthy obsession with cleaning products.

Sorry, let's talk about way more interesting stuff than my life....like when we can expect fab reviews and even fabber piccies in the papers?!

Oh I can't wait...bet we don't get new pictures though...anyway we'll have had binkle's comprehensive review, do you think her premier package means that Lee will come and clean under her seats in the interval?

Coo-err Berrie. He can come and clean under my seat anytime - as long as he's only wearing the house uniform of loincloth!

Snippet in today's Telegraph about his 'newly-waxed chest which was displayed to great effect above a tiny loin cloth'. Lucky, lucky Binkle....sigh.....

Well girls...the day of reckoning is nigh.... I am feeling a bit sick and nervy about it all (not sure if that's excitement or worry about going to London but not even loopy terrorists will stop me going!!!)

I cannot wait!!!! And as for the canapes - I'm not so sure - they seem to be a bit fishy based and not really my thing but what the heck, after a few drinks in the hotel and for the sake of looking properly snooty and affected I'll force them down with a smile through gritted teeth.

Hope Lee's put some ointment on his back spots by now

What do you think?
