loads of money...lol.....

yep i had a whopping £8 for my drinks and food metal that i have been saving.....ok i cant buy that dream smallholding yet.... but hay 8 squidaroonies is 8 squidaroonines....and lets be honest it is £8 that would have been put into the bin....Scrap Metal prices are pretty good at the moment, compared to what they have been like, so might go for a walk later, take a carrier bag with me, and collect the drinks cans you see thrown at the side of the road.....

I am sure there was a bloke somwhere who actually saved and asked for drinks cans etc around his area, and he bought his house out the money...will have to have a nose around the old internet and see if i can find the story...and do an update on my hubpages about him....

what would you call it?

i have had a few days off work, so i can just potter around the garden and play with my chickens and ducks, as to be honest i am drained out with work, so i am just re-charging my batteries.

Anyway... i have had to throw away ( dont hiss at me ) eggs again, as we are getting soooooooooo many everyday. So we are buying a bigger incubator, so we can hatch more eggs, so at least we can sell the chicks at the farm auctions.

I know i could sell them on, but to be honest to be honest i am so busy lately, i dont think i have the time..... but i was thinking.... about starting up a local yahoo group,or a speciality forum, so people can swop surplus produce, what do you think? would it work? I also need a name for tis group, but my mind has gone blank.... so any suggestions would be great...

as at the moment i could swop a load of eggs and broad bean plants

ooo well i am off now to try and find places to plant more broad beans...


please ready my hub pages..... thanks...

'Wonna see my Hubs?'

A few days ago i found the world of 'hubbing' no its some sort of sexual act...its a great place to write about....well anything...I am using my hubpages as as a sort of more indepth blog. which to be honest i have really good...

There are recipes, poems, stories, informational hubs, all sorts...the good thing about hubs... you can add adsense and earn a few pennies over time..

so please check out my different hubpages.

Back to 'wots been appening' at the old bikerboots and chickenfeet crib...lol..

well a few weeks ago hubby and i decided to get some turkey eggs off ebay, and last night they started hatching out, sadly we lost 2 while they were hatching, but one hatched out ( still more to hatchout) Flip are they ugly chicks...lol...We are calling it 'jingle' and hopefully 'Bell' will not be long hatching..out intentions were to hatch a few, and hten sell them on in a few weeks, as i dont think i am quite ready to rear our own chirstmas dinner...

so will try and get some pics.. of jingle later...

Plus.. one of ducks has gone broody, and is sitting on some duck and chicken eggs as i type....so good job i managed to weight in some scrap alu and steel cans and got a whopping £8...lol.... well its money i wouldnt have got if i had put our cans in for the councile refuge...

so better get my skates on and come and boot myself up the butt, as i have got an expanding 2-legged family to house... ( right mind wonders off to think of more money making ideas)

catcha you all laters..... and please anyone who is reading my blog could you PLEASE visit my Hubpages.... to give me a good start with my hub views...

swagbucks

i found this site called swagbucks, its an american search engine and you get points if you search via their site...

you can cash your points in at Amazon.com, for 45 points you can get a $5 gift code to use, i am going to save all my points and cash the codes in when i have a load, to cover the postage too, but they have loads of other things you can cash your points on, but for me the Amazon one is the best, as i want to get some American craft and shabby chic books...lol..
