    • That the hospitals 2 hands are very disfunctional

      That buses are great (I don't drive as I'm as blind as a bat) but I do wish people would not get on and off them at random locations.

      That the company who runs the hospital TV and phone bedside thingy did not take the mickey out of the sick or their relatives.

      That not a single seed has been dumped in compost etc.

      That ready meals look good on the pictures but taste like carp.

      That instant noodles either end up as thin soup or thick enough to carve because I have yet again got the water wrong.

      That storm Doris meant it took me over 2 hours to get home from the hospital.............................

      I'm sure there is more but I don't want you all to think that I'm a moany old bat!

            • Well !! I almost got round to planting my first seeds of the year, Sweet Peas, so I search for the packet that I ordered! Mmmmm no where to be found, so check my seed order, silly me didn't order them! I remember reading all about the different varieties, then obviously couldn't decide! Daft or what!

              • OK so Gertie the Greenhouse is firmly placed in the garden. - she looks like a real stunner as she is tiny and petite.

                Now what do I do with all the bits that are left over?

                How do I solve the rain on the inside? How can I stop the door from shooting off its rollers when I open it? How do I plug up all the various holes at ALL of the joints? Will the window ever close?


                Can the wind stay away until I have solved my Gertie problems - BM I really wish you lived alot closer as I could make you my Gertie Fixer!

                  • When my daughter was here last week to help declutter she said "I know how upset you were last time Mum so I promise I won't throw anything out without your approval first". Hahaha! So when we went to the tip a load of my tiny dollshouse stuff fell out of a bag. I rescued what I could find without her seeing. I saw the coatrack from the hall go into a skip.

                    Today I've found out that my 200/300 plant labels have been chucked. So I'm sitting here watching The Chase and making a few urgently.

                    I had a text from my daughter today saying she's coming over again during the week to have a go at the spare bedroom where everything in the house is stored whilst my son renews the electrics in the house. It has been in there for over a year as he hasn't done it.

                    I haven't replied yet as I do not trust her as she seems to have the idea that if it's something she doesn't know the use of I don't need it so it gets binned. All the things in the shed and in the spare room were robustly decluttered before being stored so I dread to think what else she's chucked that I haven't found out about yet.

                    So as to not upsetting me, she has failed dismally but if I don't let her she'll give my son the impression that I don't want the house finished. I can't sort it out until I have storage. If I buy storage it will defeat the object of having the majority of the house stored in one room to keep it clear for the electrics and plumbing.

                    • Tax year end, final and biggest exam and decorating the bed room - all at the same time (and when I should be sowing seeds!) Why do I do it to myself?!

                      • Well I dont usually rant but today I have two.

                        First rant. Storm Doris crashed two large panes of glass from my greenhouse.

                        Second rant. French air traffic control strike left us waiting two hours extra this afternoon in Malaga Airport. Up at 7.30 this morning and didnt get home until 5.O'clock this evening.

                        And when your back stops aching,
                        And your hands begin to harden.
                        You will find yourself a partner,
                        In the glory of the garden.

                            • Will somebody please just stop me............................OH has to go back to bed for 3-4 hours in the afternoon.....................so far so good.

                              Today it has rained all day so I have been left in total control of the laptop and the debit card.

                              I don't need multi coloured carrots - why on earth do I want purple, white and red ones when my orange ones are brilliant?
                              I don't need some weird and wonderful radish variety as the ones I have are good enough.
                              Why on earth do I want brocali raab? To make matters worse its a wasabi flavour.

                              I have a tiny garden with NO space for these bordom buys.........................................................................................somebody please stop me.
