My bed is calling me. Night all.

3rd delivery promise definitely by 4,00om this afternoon

Just off loaded at 9.45 pm

any one free to help unpack 42 boxes pleeeeease

I'm free this weekend Renes


Cows give milk naturally, we don’t have to slaughter them (shoot them in the head) or breed them forcefully.....if you like chewing flesh, carry on, but the world is over grazed with cattle

Thanks Gins but

actually with 42 boxes and some special furniture -- was looking for help



Now :-D :-D :-D

Not me Renes thats for sure...A ten hour drive at this time of night is not on my list of things to do....But getting in my nice warm bed is....Good luck with the unpacking and rubbish disposal of the wrapping ,I will think of you...... Night ~~~~~~ :-D

I knew I could count on you ----

Edit --- I knew I could -not-- count on you

:-D :-D :-D


Oh well best to get started ----- sent my sisters and BIL home at 8.00pm saying ---------They will not be here now at this time of night !!!!!!!!!!!!

Renes............cheeky mare ;-)

Not much good at unpacking these days Renes

I was under the impression a cow had to have a baby cow to produce milk, otherwise it would be a heifer

ja..x

Actually Jax

As the only clear item is the sofa --- you could have had that and directed me -- or your HID :-D :-D

To maintain high milk production, a dairy cow must be bred and produce calves. ... Domestic cows can live to 20 years, however those raised for dairy rarely live that long, as the average cow is removed from the dairy herd around age four and marketed for beef.

Sorry if that is udderly incomprehensible to you Gins but it all about the food chain... If we left them all to die at around 20 years where would we put all of these dead cattle.. we have enough problems with rubbish contaminating the planet now. So people that eat meat are helping with recycling. The lions, leopards etc cull the zebras and wildebeast etc and the Hyenas and vultures eat the left overs...

Persiepaedia :-)

If you can get HID to unpack my three suitcases that were dumped in my room two and a half years ago first Renes....There maybe something in there that fits me :-D

I was watching an interesting program called Kill it, Cook it and Eat it the other night persie. It was on the subject of Veal, now I am not a Veal eater but I could understand why this farmer sold them.

It was a Dairy farm and obviously the male calves were no good to them and they made more money being sold as veal it seems.

If we did'nt eat meat, what use would they be roaming around the countryside? They would die out I suppose

ja...x

Milk fed veal is almost white meat... it is the best veal. We call the bobby calves still being milk fed.. sookies... and their hide makes very good soft leather shoes....

Gins does wear shoes doesn't she? Or does she "steer" clear of anything relating to animals.

Lovely breakfast Sylvia.

SO glad you are feeling better <3

Dea Xxx

Just had a lovely bowl of porridge - thank you Sylvs. :-D



Poor Renes.....I read your message last night on OH's Kindle but I was tucked up in bed and couldn't face clambouring around. I am a morning person not a night person........so any morning work and I'm anybody's :-D



Didn't know you knew so much about farming Persie! Or did you filch it from Wiki????


I bought some venison sausages from M & S which are still in the freezer. May try them this week.


We'll never convince Gins you know! She's stuck in a time warp wearing blinkers and earplugs :-P


Housework done and dusted :-D


Taking my friend out later so had better get showered etc. ready for some wheelchair pushing....... :-S

When I was at school the teachers thought I was odd because I only wanted veg!

Lucky for me we had a cafe/diner and could choose what we wanted to eat, there was always plenty of veg options....and they were always cheaper :-D

I love teaching at a particular college these days as they have fantastic veg options, lots of ethnic grub, plenty of it and cheap cheap cheap

One thing you dont get in foody places though is Quorn, I guess because its more expensive than the best steak :-(

Forgot to say......................lost 2lb this week. Total so far -11lb :-D :-D

How much is Quorn then Ginns?

I pay £26.50 per kilo for my steak and If I went to the local Organic Butcher you could probably double that ! (That's why I only went there once ;-))

Is Quorn 'really' that expensive?

Dea x

P.S. - Just seen your weight loss update - Well done !!!

Dea x

We got lots of Quorn mince last night from Sainsbuys on offer for £1.50 a bag on multi purchase but its normally between £2.65- £2.90 a small bag

Will go and check the weight in a min

300 grams = 0.66 pounds per bag
