Of course, I've been gently softly softly working behind the scenes!
Chetna had a really nice looking baby aubergine curry on her insta yesterday!
Yes but

it scares me when my cat does this, freezes and then stares fixatedly at nothing, always makes me wonder if my flat is haunted
Although Mrs Twins, who was the last one, turned out to be Mrs Single - or at least she had a very large ewe lamb about 2 hours ago and shows absolutely no sign of there being another one in there, which means the second one probably didn't implant properly. She has, however, saved the best for last, as this is the only one showing some colour from birth.
I wanted to ask @Pocahontas if something was allowed! Gah!this may helpHave settings changed on tattle or have I been naughty somehow without meaning to be?! My private message option isn't there anymore

I said I wasn't going to keep any of these, but that one I might just change my mind about
I did a hair donation the other day for a cause that is close to my heart (15 inches so I am now practically bald) so wanted to see if I could post a link to the charity's website along with the before and afters of the back of my head to see if anyone wanted to donate as a sort of sponsorship but wasn't sure if it would be within the rules/a bit gauche darling etc!
Thank you for this! I emailed in but will reply to this too - I don't think I've done anything to be reported but if I have I would like to know so I don't misbehave in future!!
@Jay-cloth Cow - as long as it’s posted here and not in the Jack thread (and you’re ok with any privacy issues) then it should be ok!
Oh perfect! So this is a cause close to my heart as a good family friend's daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia aged 4. She lost her hair due to the treatment, the little princess trust were amazing with her. They make wigs for children who lose their hair due to cancer treatment, alopecia, or other conditions that causes hair loss. They need hair donations over 7 inches, over 12 ideally to make the wigs, which cost around £500 per wig to make. Here is my before and after to show my donation (15 inches) and if anyone wants to do a sort of sponsorship for me doing so (my hair is like my armour so this was a BIG deal for me) here is the link to do so https://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/donate-money
Love it! *If* she stays she'll probably be known as Mrs Badger, because now I've had a proper look at her and she's dried out a bit, she has the markings that come with a genetic colour mutation known as badger face. It does show up in Cheviots occasionally, but it's quite rare - I'm guessing it was present in the Shetland side as well.
We went back down half an hour or so later to check she'd passed the afterbirth okay and found her lying on her side, pushing. Absolutely nothing showing at the back end so we decided to get her up the hill and into a pen in the field shelter to investigate. Halfway up a water bag appeared and burst immediately. By this time one of our neighbours had kindly jumped the fence and come to give us a hand, we got her into the shelter and he lambed her for us - the second lamb was even bigger, but there was no movement and even after swinging her to clear her lungs of any mucus and blowing into her lungs to try and get her going, she never took a breath. She probably died just as she was moving into the birth canal, which is why she took so long to make an appearance and the ewe wasn't showing any signs of a second labour. Mum and Badger are staying in the field shelter overnight as the weather's turned and Badger was a bit shivery, they're tucked up with hay and water and she's eaten half a kilo of ewe rolls and is starting to feel better.
Are you alright? Even if you’re not great now, you will be again. Has it jus5 come to a head now?
I don't have kids, but when my mum left her first husband, my brother was still very little, just 4 or 5, and she said the thing that prompted her to finally leave was that she didn't want him growing up thinking that the way they were living was what a family should be like.
