Evening all!

Happy birthday, Yorkshire Belle :j Hope you had a good day.
Pip's Mum - sorry to hear about your trouble, I hope you manage to get some sort of closure from it all * hugs*
And some *hugs* all round to everyone who is feeling abut under the weather.

Today I have/will:

• Finished my assignment
• Done daily clicks and free scratchcards (2 x 10p)
• Put coins from my change jar into bags - £26 to take to the bank tomorrow
• I got a part time job! :j Went for an interview at 12:30, and was told that I would hear back sometime next week. Got a call at 3:15 to say they were offering me a job! So at least when my placement ends in June, I've got something to fall back on.
• Going to upload a review I've written to Ciao.
• Make lunch to take to work tomorrow

I'm working a half-day at my placement tomorrow, so I'll be spending the afternoon in Glasgow - and hopefully not spending any money, lol.

Have a good night all! x

Well done sophiesmum! I didnt even remember til this afternoon that I have sw tonight doh!

Fay, do the plants arrive in one piece?! Do you send them via anything special? Do they last even in 1st class? My surprise squash may not be a squash, the seedling leaves are not remotely the same as the ones on the packet....hmmmm may have to take a pic and get some opinions....

And yay have managed to get some money that was owed to me - £600ish - so am now on the look out for a cheap banger lol. Ive only had 3 years to save up for a car *smacks self on head*

Cleosmum - seedleaves don't look like proper grown up leaves - so hang fire til you get your first set of 'true leaves' which are the next set coming.

To be honest my plants are usually complimented on how wonderfully they arrive -

Fays recipe for sending plants:
I just put them (washed roots) into a bit of damp kitchen roll
- then put them into a bit of a sheet of newspaper folded around them bit like a fish supper which i then make a bit wet with a quick once over under the tap.
- and then put them in a bag - usually a ziplock one - wiht a bit of air for boingi ness - and then into a jiffy envelope (recycled of course)
et voila - slap in the post 1st class - nowt special
- as long as you don' t post them on a Friday or a Saturday - they will get there within 24-48 hours

its dark and damp and cushioned so they arrive OK.

If in doubt - (can't believe I am confessing to this) I worried about it too and posted myself a plant first time. PM me and I can post you some seed tomatoes as a dummy run?

I sometimes post more delicate things in takeaway boxes again washed and wrapped in kitchen roll.

Hey hey well done on the weight loss!!!!!!

yeah I bowed to peer pressure on my diary to give an extra 5 off to make it under 1000 - and of course I paid of the pennies especially for you. It was that or someone was going to kidnap my doggie

I have tomato envy :rolleyes: they look ace - you should be writing a -

How are you tomatoes getting on - mine have two sets true leaves now as well as seedling leaves but they are very small still .

Hi Fay, tomato plants are doing ok, still very small and fragile looking but they do have two sets of leaves on them, so i think they are getting there.

Am two courgette type plants down though as some slugs got through the small crack at the bottom of our front door whilst i was away. A bit sad, but at least the majority have survived.

Dunno bout these leaves Fay, they dont seem to be the first leaves, they are mahoooosive! They look more like lilypads lol. Will see how it goes
