having a bath.

Really?? That is one of my most favouritist things EVER

Jobs I hate;

The day job
Cleaning water troughs
Rolling up electric netting

My new one is scooping lumps of ice out of frozen water troughs with my bare hands (don't want to get my gloves wet!)

I hate complaining! Yes, really! And bartering or discussing prices even more so.

On the farm, the two things I most dislike doing are:
1. Eartagging (especially replacing full grown sow's ear tags... eeek!)
2. Inoculating (I have holes in my fingers to prove that I am fully up to date with my Heptavac P Plus jabs

)

For Rosemary:

Taken one (unusually) dry day this summer - just for the pleasure of it

I've started putting on a pair of washing up gloves under my wooly ones, then I just whip the wooly ones off to do the ice breaking, give 'em a shake then put the wooly ones back on

I used to hate cleaning the pigs out when they were in the shed and anything outside when it was slippy (I'm like the opposite of a weeble - I wobble and then I DO fall down

) but now I've got waterproof, insulated trousers and spikes for my wellies so I actually enjoy doing it.

I detest ironing with a passion and hate gloss painting, paperwork I have to be in the 'right' frame of mind for (or doing the insomniac thing and bored out my skull

) but since Bruce is working pretty much full time now I'm just getting my head down and getting on with it (except when I moan, like now

)

Rodding blocked sewage pipes

. That was this weekends house surprise. Soo we shall have a new house like triggers broom. Although I am having a quiet chuckle remebering husbands voice (as he stood watch at the other end) 'slow down!!!' (Too late! - a blockage, once freed, has a momentum of its own)

. He didnt get tooo dirty, just a bit splashed.
