Since I've joined the Grapevine...I've had so much advice and had lots of laughs at the threads ...love the humour of the other Grapes! I'd encourage anyone interested in gardening type stuff to join. lots of great expertise to be had

Not here! I'm stretched over one couch and the dogs have taken care of the other two. Well, I s'pose a few could sit on the floor

I've got some home-made fudge? Not sure if there's enough for nearly 400 people though

Ah, last night was spent trying to (and eventually succeeding) unblock the kitchen sink. In fact that's not strictly true - it was more the pipe that runs under the floor. Mate of mine and myself managed to get it cleared at about 10:30 - we'd started at about 6:45, not bad eh?

Eventually got to bed at about 11:45 after cleaning up the kitchen and re-stocking the under-the-sink cupboard.

I missed another momentous occasion...
