I hate shop bought!<br /><br />My Stoptober is starting to struggle, I am running low on things we NEED, expensive items like dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls and fabric softener.

But I haven't shopped since last Monday, although we have been out and about and eaten so probably haven't saved really. My food waste levels are now practically non-existent, which feels very good indeed.<br /><br />Jean<br />xShrimpton and Perfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936163290981358252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-54978530656855565972014-10-13T21:50:14.115+01:002014-10-13T21:50:14.115+01:00Moulting here as well, but I am using the eggs I d...Moulting here as well, but I am using the eggs I dehydrated and put into store, I refuse to buy in eggs, love the new header great view.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-38550727586634805112014-10-13T20:57:35.158+01:002014-10-13T20:57:35.158+01:00I have just discovered your blog and wanted to say...I have just discovered your blog and wanted to say 'hello' and well done, nearly half way there.

So a lovely large brown egg most days is keeping myself ticking over nicely!<br />As soon as I saw your pic with the eggs in it I knew it was because your hens were moulting.<br />As a sort of newbie to keeping chickens, I knew about moulting but, it still caught me by surprise a couple of weeks ago when I saw feathers everywhere and of course the first thing that came to mind was fox attack! Thankfully not!
