    Peedie update

    I am poor - but my brother has the keys to his new house - hurrah - just need to keep on top of his HB application and then he should be ticketyboo. :)

    Nothing paid off of anything yet - awaiting money coming back from the sibling person - never mind

    April GC worked so we are heading for £75 in May (??!!)

    And will put away another 50-75 for the next mega shop.

    Big brother a 'moving in' kit from the stripey socks shop - you know the set up the house kinda box - tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread, loo roll, juice, beans, butter etc chocolate :)

    DS finishes exams today hurrah - he's been worse than normal
    DD has her cello performance tomorrow so fingers crossed for that

    Plants NEED TO BE LISTED ON EBAY !!!!!!!!! (note to self :))

    Morning all -

    I never remember jokes and don’t have a sense of humour really but here goes – if it made me laugh it might make you lot laugh…..

    What did the slug say to the snail?


    Want a big issue, mate??!!



    (noting that slugs are the poorer version of snails whom own their own houses!)

    PS apologies – gardeners joke J

    I tried to tell this joke in the office :o
    And was greeted with completely blank looks :o
    And even when I explained it; the response was an uninterested "Oh"

    Warning dumb question alert :o

    (I've come in from gardening lucielle - maybe that's what everyone else is doing)

    Here's the dumb question:
    the bit that comes out of the seed first, is that the root or the shoot?

    I just want to know if I'm planting my sprouted seeds upside down, I'm sure they'd cope if I did, but I'm curious :o

    I'm so bored today. fed up cause my printer wont work

    I think i may go for a nap

    OO - normally the bit that comes up the way is the shoot and the thing that goes down is the root although I do have some pumpkins who have done it back to front. Wait till they get a bit bigger and if its green and pointing up, thats the sprout and should stay above ground
