  1. I know there isn't such a thing, but what extras do people consider it costs to be self-employed? I'm thinking you have to take into account holidays, sick pay, pension - all things that employees often have provided by their employer but a self-employed person has to fork out for themselves.
  2. anyone know where to buy a squirrel trap?
  3. thanks don and all, Ask Jeff was reassuring but as there are adult beetles around I clearly need to do something - aargh but what? the chemicals sound vile . .
  4. What do I do? - I'm currently panicking and putting all bits and bobs that are down there in the bin. I haven't dared look at the floor joists closely yet.
  5. A couple of years ago I saw a fox catch a rat in next door's garden, it played with it the way a cat will play with a mouse - it took about two hours for it to finally the finish the poor thing off. Quite recently I saw a fox walking through the garden with a squirrel hanging out of its mouth.
  6. It was 3p a mile on rural roads - I think that was the lowest charge per road
  7. get along to Wicker Herbal or Alton n James and buy 25gm passiflora herb, make it like tea, drink it before bed and you'll sleep better. In the day it'll calm you down, but avoid driving
  8. I don't eat processed stuff if I can avoid it. Thanks for the battery eggs reminder too, flyingfish. I have been veggie in the past (and tend to vegan apart from my lamb habit). Surely humans who've evolved in these islands have also evolved to eat animals and vegetables, I just don't want to be harder on the animals than needed.
  9. I do only buy free range/organic chicken, but with lamb I decided that wasn't so important as I know sheep in this country - especially the ones on the hills are just left to get on with being sheepish. I used to eat duck ont he same principle until I found out they were all kept indoors with no pond. No more duck for me! What sort of reaction would I get if I went to a butchers and asked for hogget?
  10. thanks cgk - but there must be a difference between a sheep that is just over a year old and one that's 6 or 7 say - that's what I'd really classify as mutton.
  11. On lambs that is! It's all spring lamb now, which surely means lambs that have only lived a few months. I want to eat animals that have at least had a summer jumping around in the fields, ie last year's lambs but they're not lamb anymore - (over a year old). What do I ask for at the butchers?
  12. I can't believe it, I've just clicked on the Sheffield Jobfinder link and their website comes up with Sheffield spelt wrong!!! SHEFFILED
  13. thanks for that clarification Joe, bringing it back just as it was would get my vote - it was my favourite forum
  14. anyone know - has it transmuted into something else?
