When I had a wasp nest in the ground I bought powder and did it myself. I did a few searches online to work out the method, which was basically go to the hole after dark, squirt the stuff down there and run like buggary :) I wore a headlamp. I squirted. I hoofed it up the garden. It did work. I felt...

Certainly is a cheeky tyke. Spitting feathers! But....... the bloke is talking to it in calm, almost friendly manner . Why didn't he let the dog out? throw things? As far as the fox is concerned he might think the bloke is asking him which one he wants! Foxy may have come across people before (a lot...

A cheap-ish meal, depending on prices at the time. A couple of peppers and a packet of couscous (could buy plain and spice it up yourself, but I used ready flavoured), a sprinkle of cheese and a tomato or 2. Boil the kettle, mix the couscous (instructions on packet. Split the peppers and de-seed. On...

I think calling them muppets wouldn't make them think warm thoughts at all, even if that is what they are or perceived to be!.

If you have the space in the freezer, as long as the bird is wrapped in a couple of bags, I would think it a reasonable request. Especially if the bird died within the first couple of days.

Get a clean paint brush, tip the keyboard upside down and brush away. Do it when the pc is off, otherwise you'll end up typing strange messages or altering your settings somehow :)
The outside can be damp cloth wiped as it's plastic (usually).

Top 3 are obviously a little camera shy! Love the feathers and colours of the others too.

My 3 are around 14 weeks old now. In around 7 weeks they have eaten about 7.5kg of pellets.

Surely those pretty pink flowers are growing a bit too much and needed thinning out?!?

Otherwise, maybe the badgers did it :)

Could you not dig up and pot the pink one? (garden novice me) As for Borage, I noticed some seeds a week or so ago and saved them http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo53/ferretmonsters/borage/borageseedsdried.jpg But when I just went out and checked I have no others ready, but they are growing. http...

The bag of pellets is the first bag of chicken feed I have ever bought. Only had the girls around 2 months. I was given a couple of kilos of chick crumb with them. My thinking was i can mash the pellets if they didn't/couldn't eat them. I used to break the pellets up into smaller pieces (oh joy!), b...

Another thumbs up for adding some water to the pellets. My lot are still on growers pellets, But didn't seem to eat a lot, so I make them up a bowl of 'mash'. Before I go to bed I fill a bowl of pellets and cover with boiling water, cover it with a plate. Then when I go out to let the horrors out in...

I remember helping with the laundry being washed in the bath, we used to think it was great trampling the sheets like they do grapes, stand in the bath and tromp, tromp, tromp, up and down. This was when the twin-tub broke and before my dad let my mum buy an automatic, meany! :)

Won't ever buy shower gel again. I know a bar of soap is a simple thing, but didn't buy a bar of soap for many years, just used the convenience of shower gel :( All that gel that just whooshed down the plughole before it had the chance to be used, and then it got to silly prices in the shops, so we ...

Magic gloves may be the answer for you. Might sound a bit mad but I hate touching anything 'insecty', but magic gloves means I can. I cleared a whole load of caterpillars the other day off me sprouts, without shuddering and throwing them in the air cos they twitched lol (it's happened!) any gloves d...
