What does a whole chicken typically cost in your area?  Would it be fresh or frozen at that price?

I realize size varies.
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Where I live in the north of the UK, you can get a whole fresh chicken, for £4.79. That's $6.47 at current exchange rates. Probably costs more the further south you go.

I have always wanted to dance watching 50s movies but as a chunky lad with no balance that was never gong to happen, best I can do is a bit of Northern Soul style. Yes we do have Aldi but I preferer Lidl.
 Stayed at home again today as have been feeling a bit off/rough, over slept big time as well. Feeling okay now and made a veg curry with odds and bits of veg from fridge and freezer.

Sounds like you needed rest.  I am glad you are feeling better now.

It lasted 3 days, makes me think it was a bug of some sort as that takes your body 3 days to fight. Might have been my flu vaccine working? Dull cloudy and damp today but off to the workshop to chop up the l/h front door and fit it, managed to get some gas for my blow torch so I can free the hinges up!!

Another remembered odd dream, I had very hairy elbows and upper arms like a gorilla!! and was shaving it off. Now that is odd as I dont have hairy elbows and upper arms.
 Sunday morning so calling in on mum to see if she is okay or needs a hand with anything then down to the workshop for more metal bashing, looks like I will have to get another 8x4 sheet of steel to finish the boot floor.

All behind this morning, I was a bit late and then my friend phoned about fetching the engine I have been given. 20mins later I got ready to go to the workshop, bin to empty (it was starting to smell!) so it was a good job the bin men had been and there was room in the wheelie bins. 11am by the time I got started and I was on my way home at 3.30, waiting for primer to dry and I was feeling cold. Car said 6C, forecast said it would be 9C. Wet tomorrow and windy if they got that right--------

Scrapie morning, bit of a frost to start the day but it supposed to warm up. Clear sky at the moment, at least its not raining!! I got on well yesterday fitting the rear door skin in place on the Herferod, it all fitted better this side after doing it on the other side. I still have loads of welding to do as a lot of the floor is just tacked in place so need to finish that as its easier to get at before side fitted. I will be glad when thats done not that its the end of welding! Still have boot floor and closing panels to make then its the front wings and stuff to do, it will stop me getting bored!! Will also need another bottle of welding gas soon, that is £130 more to spend.

Curious, what do you weld with? I am a fair stick welder, and can braze with a torch but that thin metal gives me trouble. I have a wire feeder too, but never happy with the results

A MIG welder Gina, its all in the settings and technique. Look on line for tutorials for welding thin gauge, spot, let it lose red then spot again. Well I spent 2 hrs welding the floor that I had tacked together and other bits, back started to hurt from bending. Managed another hour of making stuff but had to go home and rest before muscle spasmed, I know by now when to stop. Okay this morning after a good sleep.
 Food shop day so will get another rest, but then I have 2 bags of shopping to carry up the stairs that will be heavy as sack of potatoes, cauliflower and other veg is not light.

Battery was flat on my laptop this morning from overnight, it took 45mins to restart!! Still a bit sluggish as well and the clock is out, it should correct some time soon. Have house work to do anyway that I should have done yesterday, towels in washer/dryer so that will be 3 hrs before finished then run around with the vacuum and have a tidy up. Lots to keep me occupied today so best get a crack on!!!

So it's all spot weld?! I keep trying to make a bead with little success, though I'm pretty good at burning holes. Thanks

Yes just do one spot then when the red has gone spot from that spot in a chain. Tack weld the bits together 2ins apart first then at 1ins and then join the gaps, if you have air then blow it to keep it cool and avoid distortion. Laptop still not right yet, I know it takes a few days to sort itself out after a forced? restart. Off to do some more welding and fabrication now!

Sorry to hear about the laptop problems.
  I use strarlink for my internet, crazy the way it works. Sometimes chats come in all out of order. It's like the bigger files take longer to process.

   If it has gears, pipes, or wires I can figure it out, but how computers work eludes me.

This is still running 10 Chrissy!! Well I knew I should have stayed home yesterday, nothing would go right down the workshop so I gave up. Will see how it goes today after a good nights sleep.
 Damp and dreary today, more rain later but at least its warmish.
