girls!! what have you done! this lush looks good enough to eat...Lefrog are you sure I cant eat the marshmellow one??

I don t know, but I send some stuff from b to my mum for Christmas, the "creme anglaise" and the lip sugar scrub. she loved the stuff and felt a bit like a tasty pastry while wearing it:P ( those 2 items taste like sweets or deserts)
my other half had a taste at most of the stuff they sell at lush, most of the stuff is edible, but not always nice to eat:P

I'm not far from Cricklade Foxy.  Where abouts is the show and what time does it start? I'm not thinking of showing, but I'd love to see Bigfoot in all his feathery glory!

I was actually just looking at some 'preparing for showing' instructions yesterday - i thing they were on the british poultry club website - will try to link if i can find. Although their bathing advise was fairly comlicated involving 'good quality intensive conditioner and fabric softener as part of a five step process!! Good luck!!

There it is.

But i have to say when we washed our sultan (obviously she couldnt have her 'my first egg photo' with muddy footprints all over her back from the cockerel) I just used washing up liquid and warm water then wrapped her up for a bit before getting out the hair dryer which she rather enjoyed.

Would be lovely to meet you Millebanks And anyone else for that matter!  
This is the link to the my local club, they are ever so friendly and have some fantastic birds!! They charge a small annual fee of £5.00 well worth it I think I have had loads of encouragment on the phone from them despite being a complete novice.

Oh thanks for the link Mdueal! I think my birds have cottoned on-came back today and they had made themselves a mudbath and were thoroughly enjoying themselves :shock:  :shock: Bigfoots beard was completely covered in mud-I couldn't believe it!!!
