the daydream fund challenge thread

MRSMCAWBER

Evening all

Its great that we are all encouraging and motivating each other :j ...I think you are right Rummer -having folks to urge you on and this thread is really making a difference
Stitching witch :T ...thats your fund started then :T ...Its amazing what you can come up with if you think hard enough isn't it
I haven't added my total to my signature yet as the saving I have started doing may be called upon for other things like car repairs etc (although touch wood NOT ) -I guess I could do an add up and add it to my signature and then reduce it IF I have to use any -and it would have to be an emergency :rotfl:

On the Greenery front - I went into my brassica tent earlier and my 6 brussels sprouts are just about to break the surface :j and the kale and chard is starting to appear -ooohhhh excitement :rotfl: ......
In the spare room the seeds are coming on great guns -the cucmbers are breaking through and have only been set a couple of days:D ....
Hoping to get some more bits set tomorrow
Hope everyone has a good week

Rummer

Hmm I have had my cucumbers in for weeks and nothing, does that mean they are dead seeds?

I have been planning how I can clear my debt faster so I hoping that my savings will start soon (well in a few months)!

Hi Rummer

It sounds like you could have a problem with your seeds -
I have 6 different varieties and set 1 of each on the 28th(just chescked my list:p ) and I have 5 through and 1 just peeking out -in 3 days
how/where did you set them?
I punched holes in the bottom of cottage cheese pots, filled with compost and set 1...just a thought - could yours have rotted .?..only you are recommended to set the seed on its edge so water will run off... then I covered with a bit of compost and kept under a sheet of plastic and misted to keep the compost moist until they popped through and then whipped them from under...
I would set some more and see how they come on

Rummer

I planted them weeks ago in individual pots in the hall in front of a sunny window and everything else has come up but them. Guess I will need to do without or go and buy another pack of seeds.

Rummer

Oops clicking happy, forgot to say thank you for that advice!

MRSMCAWBER

Whilst digging the allotment I found an 1857 Victorian Shilling. Should I update my total to £300 1s 0d?

No, use the Internet to check its value. At that age it is pure silver! Ought to be worth a bit more than 5p!

Value of an 1857 shilling in 'fine' (good) condition is approx £8
