Morning all! My boys aren't back till tomorrow although they have hockey training this afternoon so hopefully that will get them tiered enough to get to sleep at 10. The b@ggers are up at crazy hours during the holiday. They are a bit old to be told what time to go to bed.
I think I'm going to do a couple of hours in the GH this morning, one of them is a complete mess!

[Bigmallly]

My local GR is just rubbish, it has been getting worse and worse over the last couple of years and you should see the state of some of the plants they have in hopefully it will pick up spring time.

They sell plants in your local GR?................Morning all, this piggin rain is doing my 'ed in now, everyday since I don't know when. Sorry Mr Lisa's not well, good luck with the wind Lisa................take some tablets.

Morning all. Yet another wet and cold day. Have just got a bag of compost up to dry out a bit before I start the monkey bean challenge.
Going to pick the kids up from my mom and dads in a bit. My two are back at school tomorrow
Have a good day everyone

It started off bright and sunny here this morning. It won't last, so in a little while I'm going to take down the garden lights. But first a trip to the allotment is in order, just to check things over.

Afternoon All. It's been raining here all day. I'm glad in a way because it's made me put Christmas back in it's box. I've roasted a joint of beef and I'm having another life laundry, particularly books, DVDs and CDs. We have charity recycling bins in the car park of the local supermarket so I can drop them off on the way to work. It could take around 4 or 5 trips
One of the secretaries has sent me a text requesting leave tomorrow as both my manager and the supervisor are both off sick today. Glad I didn't know earlier, I would have felt it my duty to go in.
Lovely party yesterday BTW, fit for a princess Roast turkey with all the trimmings, or Chicken Bhuna with all its trimmings, all cooked by my SiL Wonderful.
Jay do whatever you feel in your heart. Himself hasn't spoken to his sister for years and it makes me wonder what will happen if misfortune strikes either of them.
Feeling much better after that little episode of verbal diarrhoea

Time to start getting early nights though and do some exercise

I would like to do the same Trip, early nights and exercise. It cheers you up no end

Back to work today. Got 2 bags of donations to take with me. If this carries on, we will need to downsize lol
Going to tackle the books next, there's stacks that I haven't even looked at for years.
Funny how we hang on to things isn't it.
Have a lovely day Grapes

Please Ns could you use a code or something, if my wife read that my life would be a misery.
Or maybe the Mods. could monitor such posts, as they could lead to matrimonial disputes

You are so funny Rary

Just got some sad news that my BiL passed away last night...he was only 60. Trouble is my sister and I don't get on so I have no idea what to do!

Time to patch things up? I argued with my Dad and we didn't speak for years. (Both very similar and stubborn) When he had a stroke and was seriously ill in hospital no-one mentioned it to me for days. My SIL finally came to me and said that everyone thought I wouldn't be interested but she thought as he was dying I would want to know I can't tell you how fast I made it to the hospital, he was too ill to talk to me but over joyed to see me. He pulled through and we haven't ever argued since. What a waste of time that was. She may well need a shoulder....

[Jay22]

She is actually my half sister. I have spoken to our brother (my half brother) who says she will be open to a phone call so that's good. Calling her on Wednesday as understandably there are lots of things going on at the moment so we will see how it goes!

Thanks for the advice everyone it's really appreciated.

[Jay22]

Hope your OH feels better soon Lisa! Hope it went well driving that new van! Rather you than me!,

[Bigmallly]

Good luck with your call on Weds Jay.

Good evening Folks, it has been dry here today, hope all you people getting the heave rain fall are ok. was in the greenhouse tidying up,(I will need to watch to see who makes all the mess) its a handy place to have , gives me somewhere to go when OH starts thinking about cleaning out, I have an 8X2 bed in it for veg but I am thinking of taking it out and just use pots for the tomatoes etc. as I am not getting any younger, and the more I have to barrow and shovel the harder it gets, and if I get caught lifting anything heavy, well...... I shall wish You All a good night, I am begining to think she mentions the cleaning just so that she can watch what she wants on the TV Goodnight

[bramble]

Rary, just bear in mind, if you decide to grow in pots only, you will have to keep the tomatoes watered more often as they will dry out quicker.
Good luck whatever you decide.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Back to work for me today. Dark and drizzly, but not too cold. Have a good day
