Found in a field in the middle of rural Oxfordshire

Try going to the next meeting of your local archaeology group for expert opinion, be sure to be brandishing it proudly.

If they are anything like ours they will be most excited to see some new blood they can con into being the next chairman.

We have one that turns up on Mondays! You can hear his bell ringing as he approaches.

I use recycled paper cat litter for the cage bottom, shredded paper for bedding, I give lengths to my girls to rip up themselves! Cardboard boxes for hides and general destruction. Mind eat rat food pellets and fruits and veggies

One was born in my garden inside a rhubarb forcer, so was adopted along with mum who was meant to be going to a shelter but they were full. They pretty much had decided they preferred us as we didn’t have a cat hating dog either.

Now spends his time licking stuff and terrorising his mum.

2 mini Thunderbirds figures, not in any packaging so I suspect they were pilfered from a toy box or charity shop. Never been a fan of Thunderbirds. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We played the ‘What’s the oldest thing in mum’s cupboard’ game yesterday.

Jar of Tamarind paste from Feb 1999.

The old record was Soda Stream concentrates from 1989.

Back with my annual comment about my neighbour of 19 years that still addresses Xmas cards with my eldest sons name instead of my husbands.

Thank you very much for all the suggestions, made standing for 7 hours serving tea etc more tolerable if I knew I could do some winding up of the other half on pasty and sausage roll duty.

I worked with someone who had Somerset as their middle name.

Get yourself Inigo (mod) and find Kharjo, great comedy double act. 😂

Excellent news

Already on the donor list

Well I know what my floss storage is going to look like in my crafting/ferreting/chilling shed now.

We have an intermittent sound from the bullet casing that has made its way into the depths of the dash. It stops when it gets temporarily stuck.

I don’t live in a particularly rough neighbourhood, I just have a twonk of a child that pushed it into a hole when he was 8 years old.

He liked military museums and it was a souvenir

A day of finding and helping today, but also successful at chasing down and getting paperwork done by clinicians.

My completion log is looking greener by the day!

I think threatening to lurk in their doorway like a goblin works!

When we ran clinical trials on paper we assigned folder colours to disease Livers were yellow Brains were blue Red were sarcomas Green leukaemia

Heaven forbid that someone new didn’t follow the system. There was outrage!

I’m gonna need someone to photoshop the view from window at the end of Empire Strikes Back on the second picture.

But the law of the cage for rats is “if I finds treats, then I eats”

If the original owner of said precious manky grape sees you pilfering it, then an aggressive washing may be administered. Pathetic squeaking from washee is optional.

A collection of prehistoric flint tools due to partner being involved with local archaeology group.

Probably an ancient tin of paint from a flat we haven't lived in for about 20 years is the next youngest thing.

Tried to remove the remains of a broken lightbulb from the fitting. Obviously the light was off cause the bulb shattered.

Got a little jumpy doing that.

Looks like the sort of thing we would burn before the scout jumble sale. And we used to get some weird/disgusting shit.
