Hehe, you'll be sewing two pairs of trousers together next, whilst your neighbours look on in disgust

Ok, this may seem harsh... But have you thought about giving her to someone who WILL dispatch her? A chicken like that would be a liability in a flock, so only someone who doesn't already have chickens will take her... and having chickens isn't a decision to take in a couple of days. Also having her...

hmm, seems silly to have put it the same weekend as the BGG.

Hmmm, this was exactly what I was looking for a few weeks ago, until I hatched the bike trip idea... I could be there... around the 11th of August, if thats any help, and stay for a coupla days.

if you want christmas potatoes why don't you clamp them or store them in a cold pantry? or is a space problem?

A sheet of polythene might be a good idea - the birds can still find the dropped seed, and it's easy to lift and clean off every few days. hmm, bird s@!£ might be a slight problem in that one... how about laying a few paving slabs under it, it'll look nicer than polythene, and basically you can mak...

then theres a recipe we use that makes perfect normal cheese and pickle type chutney, Beetroot.
fwar you've got a few hot ones there

Wow Purdey Bear, those sound quite neat tricks... The mother hates me putting my teabags in the compost (they drink loose leaf earl gray, but I like tea you can stand a spoon in), I know that PG tips are more plastic than paper, and would have thought its the same for most.
