    not many people tell my i'm nice at the moment so thank you, i'm not winning nice manage of the year award at the moment at work.

    An ode to lemon tree......

    Lemon tree is very nice
    She is made from sugar and spice
    She hasn't got a single vice
    And is very wise (almost rhymes)
    Even though she hates somethign which is very nice
    (Called wonderful mashed potatoes)
    Infact I think that's her only vice.

    If folks dont like her at work
    Then they are a bunch of berks
    If they keep on making her sad
    That will make me very mad
    To her work I will go camping
    And make my tiny feet keep stamping
    To tell the horrid folks to go away
    Cos its almost her birthday


    :rotfl:do you think the writing is getting to me?

    On my 101 list is to make a log basket for my house from my very own willows :)
    Waves hello

    I was in the local paper today - not quite as posh as being on the telly all about the project - one photo of me I look like an utter dweebe in a squint stripey hat glaring through the willows :)

    Although its such a tiny island really we all get to be in the paper eventually

    fay you're fab, sometimes off your rocker but fab!
    we're planning cinema with the maccyD's bogof voucher and a curry at the lunch time when you can have as much as you like. Not so good with the diet but hey i'm cutting back now to enjoy myself.
    I do feel that i have given the credit card all the information on a plate, all they need to do is check their suspense account ( i even offered to go in and check it for them). But then my better half says that i owe the money. I shouldn't complain as it's kept me out of my overdraft for the last few months but i've written it out of my balance so that i don't get complacent.

    My off rockerness is my best feature - otherwise why would I be sitting thinking about a strong coffee before picking up DD from the boat at 11pm so I can work through the night to try and finihs this section?? Completely barking

    Anyway - don't the rest of you make things up in your head - liek when you were kids ??

    I think I am actually as mad as a bag of snakes.

    But no-one normally knows cos I am so quiet :)

    Just wanted to cheer you up me dear. :)

    If it makes you feel better keep it as an overdaft cushion and let it sit there until you feel like its no longer an issue, or stick it into a savings account safe and then its there - but - not being used so its there if its needed.

    Bluis - I have given up wine and have experienced NO real wieght loss attributaable to a lack of wine - if the lady doesnt let you eat quavers she's clearly deranged they are just little puffs of cheesy air made by the mice who use to be in Bagpuss.

    PS I don't mean to be so random - I think it might be genetic cos DD is exactly as random as I am - she for years thought she was plutonian.

    To be honest I was inclined to believe her

    Pips mum is sounding sparklier tonight - hurrah

    quavers are lovely diet crisps those and watsits are what i live off when i'm on a diet.
    I make up conversations in my head but i'm usually saying the things i would never say in the real world, i was never a poetry etc person i've no imagination.
    oh i've had the manky nails removed but my nails are now really horrible. think they need lots of coats of clear polish to smooth them out and protect them.
