    Hiya
    Olive

    Sorry - saying some plants do and some don't just didn't cut it for me :) I am sorry :) I often release the inner geek.

    I did the tomatoes on kitchen roll - veyr odd wathcing them try and grow sort of sideways into the damp paper :)

    They just know what to do - even peas who are difficult and don't want their seeed leaves up!!

    I love the sound of your plot - waves whilst sitting in bed - snuffling into a lemsip (full of caffine so I am WIDE awake) and only in bed to hide from the kidlets :)

    Peedie update

    Working at home today - no rest for wicked people and I seem to be one of those :)

    Brother paid back 400/600 yesterday so woo hoo I can put that in the bank tomorrow.

    Nothing paid off of anything else yet as still no idea as to when paid -- ho hum - only 5 off of the hairy mclairy scary pants loan - 880 now woo hoo - will be gone before the end of the summer holidays I hope :)

    Grocery challenge this month got off to a rocky start with OH in supermarket putting 'treats' in the basket - he's worse than the kids.

    Also NO meal plan done - as I know this is my salvation - um hello why haven't I done one yet.

    Slowly but surely finishing sections of my 2nd chapter - its interesting so why does it go like pulling teeth???

    Beef (orkney) in ale (orkney) out of the freexer for tea - brother over later to fill in forms - he's form allergic and I am a form-a-holic so its a good match.

    Did I mention there were 2 breweries here - local beer is ace

    Freezing cold so have to confess to having turned on the heating all in today so its once in a blue moon.

    OD interest £12 on one (Lloyds) account - cheeky monkeys - I got the form from RBS for my student stuff so they have changed my account to a free student one now :) - which means I have to work on the Lloyds to get rid of it and the OD.

    Looking into the clubcard=eurotrian vouchers to get to france - someone posted something on this site about this on the new ferry/travel thread - so will add up my clubcard total and it might be better if Darwin goes through the tunnel to france - ooooooh that would be an adventure.

    Our lovely friend also has a place (sleeps 4 in the mountains 1 1/2 hours from Malaga) in Spain which she does 'mates rates' for - so OH is keen for an October break - so we are seriously looking into that - woo hoo

    Aside that I am still infected with mainland-flu/cold - pah

    Holiday plans sound good, i like Mates rates as our relatives rates are pants, IYKWIM. They charge relatives extra i am sure.

    Aside my brother I dont speak to any of my relatives (um ever) - so you could be right :)

    Mates are so much easier to deal with - however if my kids try and avoid me I will stalk them - but they know this already!
