    Most botanical nonsense is in italics so dont worry its just your computer being intuiative.......Peppers are notoriously slow and lazy so just sit tight - its a pepper thing - if you'd been dragged from the lovely sunny climes to the UK you'd probably sulk too - be patient they should appear - its only my chilli peppers that have germinated :D

    I am not so much a novice with seeds as having a disorder of an obsessive compulsive manner - :D which is nothing to be proud of - I generally kill anything inedible in a plant pot as I am not good wiht things I can't eat

    evening all people

    never got a chance to get on today as work was bit busy. Had to miss a course I was booked on to help out with an exam today then had to take dd to physio. Has been discharged at last! Woo Hoo. Was well chuffed as managed to find a free parking space right outside!!! Saved about £2!! (however blew it on a McDonalds on the way home. We did win the following on the monoploly things tho - apple pie, hot drink, porridge and £2 off HMV)

    So, have also done the following
    - checked online banking and moved money from car savings account to main account to pay for bottle of bicardi to pay for recent electrical repair. Bargin!!
    - checked payslip all correct. Thinking about upping my savings to credit union as dipping into some of my other savings too regularly for my liking
    - Took dvd's back to Blockbusters on time to avoid excess charges
    - scratches (no clicks as work comp decided to not automatically log me in and I dont have my log in details with me) 20p & 50p Woo hoo
    - checked pigsback but nothing
    - taken chilli out for tea tomorrow and baking potatoes tonight so wont be tempted to get take otu tomorrow
    - washing on radiators to dry
    - picked up free sample of dog food at work which did her lunch today :)
    - went to parents night (not dfw but was all good)
    - checked seedlings - mini sweetcorn up, a few onion ones up, no sign of pumpkin or leeks as yet. Need to plant some peppers and tomatos soon. I have run out of trays to put the seedlings on so I dont get water everywhere LOL
    - now I need to turn in a TMA6. Not started it yet :( and has to be in by midnight. Is all about transitions in care.

    Think that is all I have done today.

    Urg, you are welcome in the corner anytime. I can relate to how you were feeling about the sofas though as i was experiencing the same with the college regarding the course, as there was no one there till 6pm so i couldn't get through to anyone. Hope you get it sorted out properly and it doesn't spoil too much of your evening.

    After my lovely hot bath i am feeling much better! I have managed to kind of sort out mystery shop problems, although will have to send bank statements to verify payments out of my account. The college were great and are refunding me the money, so its all pretty much sorted and am feeling much more chilled.

    -Have also done two lots of washes on 30 and hanging on airers to dry
    -Looked for more mystery shops
    -Done my mystery shopping report
    -Continued using up old beauty products
    -Done 8pages of O.U work
    -Checked over seeds to see how they are doing and which ones have started coming through
    -Off to sort out ebay stamps that i have sold
    -Have put money in 101 challenge pot
    -Off to read fave threads

    Have a great evening everyone.

    My tomatoes are still alive but they don't seem to be growing much, seem to be very slow despite lots of sunlight and good regular drinks. However they are still going ok so i won't worry bout them too much.

    Also happy as a scanner i won about two years ago but never used and is boxed in brand new condition, is likely to sell on ebay. There is another one on there which has been used only a few times and is currently on £30 so will be sticking mine on there this weekend. Anything i can get for it is great!
