    Hello BOB,

    Good luck with the plans, will keep on following and hopefully get some tips/motivation...

    And, is it a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel?!

    Hi Bob :hello: I watched "25 years of BA" on tv last weekend and they talked about Rowan Atkinson's stutter that makes his rendition of "Bob" so amusing, I always think of him saying it as I look at your thread.

    As to the gardening, if you see Mumof4's thread on OS, she has a spreadsheet for planting her allotment through the year to maximise the returns. I've been inspired to try at home :o She's a fan of beans too. :D

    I watched that too, it would have been rude not too. I wish they would make more:T I loved their ideas for Blackadder as a university don, and one set in the 60's.

    Hi Bob SIL is feeling a lot better thanks and my son back at Uni - whoo hoo. He just has his last year to do so fingers crossed he will get a degree. How are your two at home doing now ?

    Glad to hear it. My eldest is in her last year at Uni too so fingers crossed we can both be blubbing away at the ceremonies next year. The other two are fine, DD2 is enjoying her course tremendously and is full of all the days doings when she comes home. DS is work hunting at the moment and is really going at it with a renewed vigour. College was letting him down,so he has signed up to the Adult college and is looking for work to do, being of a practical nature he has put in 12 job applications this week alone:D
    I have now secured two interviews for supply agencies, so hopefully extra work is forthcoming. One is for another Borough council who tend to have a closed list, but i got talking to the chap and after finding out we are both into Lord of the Rings..don't know how it came up:confused: and also Blackadder fans..of course:D He put me onto the last available interview slot..:j So hopefully lots of work will be forthcoming as they pay me at my proper rate as well as pension benefits.:D
