    I agree with you, is was only 3 bulbs I was planting at the head of my mother's grave. I could of understood if I was planting 100's or 1000's of them!

    and what really annoys me, is the 1st graveyard (as my mother is in the new grave yard) is full of flowers and blubs that come up every year, and it is a rural area, so my 3 bulbs were well with in keeping of the area.

    SIL is watchnig and waiting:rotfl:

    What you need to do is get talking to him away from the graves then get her to plant them anyway - what's he going to do when they grow? cut them down?

    Can I be added please?? Ta x

    Today I havent been able to fly far... am at work :rolleyes:

    All done... ;)

    Have been running around today but haven't been back to bed, so looking good to being exhausted tonight...:D

    Very tired now though, hope I can make it - want to go to bed about 10pm (ish)

    Hugs to those feeling low at the moment - think its a combination of the weather and an upcoming visit from Aunt Flo with me (kids keep looking at me like I've literally blown up infront of their eyes - open mouthed and wondering what hit them!) ;)
