Monday 30/3/09 What small dfw things have you done today???

Pippilongstocking

Piq - argh no electricity - no internet - faints

A question - Quoted from Andan

'Guys who are going to do the 101 challenge please let me know your blog, either through pm or the 101 thread so that i can follow you don't mind.'

Ok I am being a bit thick here - what's the 101 thing?? I know its something about lists and doing fun stuff - how has this avoided me so far????? 'fess up whats the story?



Blushes - honestly - Being kind with seeds isn't me being nice (honest guv) - its part of my evil plan to cover the world in flowers - evil laugh - mwhaoaoaoaoaoahahahahahhaahahah:D

Looking for squash seeds later - I prob have some of the ones you want but will check .

Pips mum you are very welcome BTW - arnica is a flower and I like flowers so I know about stuff to do with flowers.

Now you have all seen the amount of my debt its > £20k - all from studying flowers/gardening/plants/etc - so the revenge of the stripey socks has always been to cover the world with flowers.

Therefore I thank you for letting me continue my mission.

Cheapest one I found quickly looking was
Wilkinsons
http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/invt/0248585 (3.99) _ I dont get that store here but they do online too.

Tescos etc all will probably have them - start about 12-50quid depending on what you want.

I have seen folk make them with bubble wrap and bamboo canes tied to make a structure - or you can use a tent frame and bubble wrap it as one of my pals did - inventive and funny but it did work.

Its a great challenge and encourages you to list all those things you've been meaning or all those things you would like to achieve over the course of the next few years. The photos i took of my garden are on my 101 blog and thats where you viewed them.

Howdy peeps,

Just popping in on my lunch hour to check how everyone is. Hugs to those who are poorly.

My DFW day will consist of the usual:

Check online banking.
Daily scratches.
Homemade lunch and breakfast.

Nothing really excellent for me to do today, so will content myself with just pottering through the day. Alas it won't be a NSD as I still succumb to the evil nicotine, but at least it will be a low spend day.

KTJazz, would you mind sharing the names of those decluttering websites? I'm in great need of getting my space back, lol.

Have a good day everyone

Lemon_Tree

Pipsmum - Horsey has been on box rest since Friday, and spent most of that time trying to escape,drooling over his stable door ,and trying to steal the rugs from the stable next door. He seems a little better but vet is due out again today:eek: so we will know better then.DD has been with him about 14 hours a day so he is enjoying all the attention - not looking forward to vet bills though.
