OK Star drops - see them on ebay for 1.50+2.85 postage

any one links to better 'deals?' - off to skulk about the OS board to find out.......

Ta for being kind about stuff............xx

Fay if you want Stardrops it would be cheaper me sending you a few bottles. Don't waste your money on buying it on ebay. Let me send you some as a thank you for the book. (please)

Well.............. who am I to argue - would it post ok? I'd really appreciate it - none in Lidls, Mr T or Co-op was about to trawl the wee shops.

If you get some I can then ask the local lovely old fashioned wholefood, greengrocer, ironmonger, gardeny place to get some (AKA - Shearers)

Will update later - need take OH to boat and just had a specacular fight with evil supervisor - and perhaps a kinda sort of apology, well not really 'perhaps my comments initially were a bit harsh.....however blah blah blah'. :rolleyes:

Its no trouble at all. PM me name and address and I'll get it sent off. Is there anything else you'd like but can't get a hold of? Don't mind, just let me know please.

Daily update
Wet and blustery here today - not a nice drive to ferry to take OH to his boat.

Weekend spends were high ish but not as high as would have been if away etc so will tot them up - although we did go out a bit and bought some bits like books etc.

Saw horse is constructed (HURRAH) and is no longer half a shelf and half a futon its now a funcitonal bit of kit for sawing up free wood from garden and beach - at 6.75 a bag for a 10kg bag of logs here - it will save us loads and loads - and its free exercise!!

Checked bank and did PAD to hairy scary loan £5.00 today - that's instead of a cheap bottle of wine, so all good.

Need check Darwin at garage ' they quoted £250 for tyres and a service - but I shoved in an extra three things that needed doing so will see how much that has cost me.

*its darwin year this year cos the 'real darwin' is celebrating 200 years* (must find out more surely there's some kind of promotional thing I can think of to fund an adventure......sighs in hope'

Not much else happenning, moved all the DD's I could to be taken off on 15th :eek: (very very scary but I still have money in the bank and if its worked - no more dd's this month)

Seriously think about closing one of my bank accounts - its a nice security blanket but juggling two accounts isnt as easy as juggling one. But I would lose a £1000 free OD and decided before not to close it so I will mull and think that one over.

Must update oil and electric - elec I do online - oil is a felt pen and a wait in the garden to see how much its dropped by - NOT scientific - but the tank guage now looks a bit stripey:D

More seeds to sort - hurrah - always good.

Down side today is dealing with a pot of a boiled chicken - stock, bones, breast the lot - more slimey than a bag of snakes covered in vaseline. YUK - but will turn into lots of nice meals.

Waving through the wind and the rain.

Meeting with evil idiot boy later on this after noon. Sleeves up for a bit of a scrap.

Fay - I'm waving at you, one of my other lovely diarist MSE friends :wave:

Hope you have had a lovely weekend

Waving back - hope the land of wedding preps are going well, will check on it all tonight - hope you have looked at lilies etc.

Lemon tree - hope piggi is ok. xx

Ta EH - We don't have hardly any chain stores at all (only Mr T co-op and lidl) - but one independant kinda pound ish shop place so will ferret around in there too.

SM I wrote to Alan Titchmarsh once - he was lovely great advice and told me to try writing - he got me my first planty writing job (lovely lovely man). Might think about digging out the writers handbook from library and see about doing something again - if this goes pear shaped then I need another source of income!!!!!

Did I miss something, is someone else prepping for a wedding? Me too. Getting nowhere fast though.


Fay, got your PM. Stuff will be in the post shortly.


Person that bought my stuff on ebay still hasn't paid. Its been about 24 hours. I always try and pay mine straight away. Its really annoying me as I just want to get the stuff posted and get my money.

I looked at music magpie last night, for a bit of quick cash for some cd's. OMG! :eek: they don't offer very high prices. In saying that though if you had lots I'm sure it would mount up, but most of mine were coming up at an offer of 25p-55p each!

Got my labels through today from MM and have sent off my 4 dvds and 1 cd to them, all for the huge sum of £3.53, :rotfl:
they hadnt sold on ebay in a year of half hearted trying to sell them so better to get that than nowt.

feeling a bit down today, had to have piggie put to sleep at the vets today, so we've had a funeral this morning. Don't feel upto much today really.
Can't believe we have two people planning weddings, i miss planning ours, we had our wonderful day at the end of september last year.

I used music magpie and game magpie and probably made about £35 all told. I then sold some of my dad's cds for him and he made a killing! Richard Clayderman and Mantovani are going for about £2 to £3 each!
