Oh bother!Oh bother!Well, that is the very polite version of what I actually said a few minutes ago!
I collected the eggs - 3 today! Very pleased as not been getting many of late. So I popped them into the egg rack with the other 8 or so (without getting it off it's hook as I was in a hurry) and the whole thing fell off and broke all my eggs. Quite aside from losing the eggs, the mess was unbelievable - all down the wall, over the floor/recycling bin/demijohns/dog bowls/pipes/trays...etc etc etc. I scraped up what I could, then let Bailey have a treat before washing it all down. Oh well, as they say 'More haste.....'. Helen xx

Re: Oh bother!Oh bother indeed! At least bailey would've enjoyed his unexpected treat.

Re: Oh bother!Grrr did similar the other day.
Getting one egg now and again. Put it in the bowl that I take the food up in. Slipped and trod on it Fortunatly no mess to clear though http://www.busheyk9.co.uk
If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning
Re: Oh bother!i lost one other day left on drainer after washing and saucepan lid fel on it from shelf above its such a ugger when that happens as long as the girls dont get to know or theyd be less of em ooops
Re: Oh bother!Egg yolk is really difficult to get off sometimes. I would have gone balistic if that had happened to me. Once had eggs chucked at our front door, and it was all set hard by the time we realised.
Re: Oh bother!Beat this... Last week I collected a day and a half's worth of eggs (41 altogether) into my usual plastic collection tub. Put it down whilst I locked the chicken shed up, then promptly fell over it in the dark, breaking the lot.
It winds me up when I break one or two, but this....

Re: Oh bother! 41!!! I bet the air was blue around you that night!
