    I am mourning my one blooming flower on my pepper plant which fell of at the base of its stalk this morning - won't be getting a pepper from that one :rolleyes: not sure why the plant hates me so :(

    Am lounging in my PJs watching Kojak - lazy day...
    Sorry about the pepper. speaking of vampires tho - I could do with a drink - are you free? :rotfl:

    I was feeling a bit tender earlier too - you have my sympathy. Two cups of strong coffee and a huge fry up seem to have worked wonders (even if I feel a bit sick now)

    Really should get dressed and have some real food.... Only had a coffee and half a dark bounty so far! On another note have any of you tried the spending diary website....? I gave it a go last night and input 5 days worth of my spends.... I am averaging nearly £25 a day altho that includes all cash/card spends (not DDs or STOs) - I wouldn't mind but I've not done my main grocery shop yet but does include a mini grocery shop I did the other day!
