    Oh how I love early summer, everything so fresh and green :j:j

    Afternoon lovelies, as per usual for a fine Sunday we've been gardening, new piccies on my facebook for those that care to have a look.

    Hope everyone is well and happy xx

    Nicky - You really do have green fingers, the flowers look great!! Anything i plant either doesn't grow, or dies in the first couple of weeks!!:o

    Noname - Oh well, you know his size now for next time!!:D

    Phew... just went and got washing in (thanks for the heads up melvis) just in time - the drizzle has started! Hopefully won't last long though, but it was dry anyway!

    Do you live my way? Or am I just a really good weather lady?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Still dry here on the coast, looks like we might get some before much longer though.

    Sally I know he normally wears`the same size I got but this particular one did not fit!!! I wanted him to put it on when we go out with his family (last time I saw them was in 2006 but he always goes there).

    I got him a Topshop gift card as part of his birthday present and I am thinking of a weekend away in Wales or some countryside. Running out of ideas. No PS3s or wiis or anything to do with gaming! he is not into any of that.I don't know!

    Not only that everyone I saw today was sneezing, the shop assistant who touched the shirt :mad: was visibly roasting with temp OMG ( washed my hands 5 times and asked him to do the same when he tried it on! Problem is where I live is very Cosmoplitan (really can't afford toget ill with few weeks to submit my thesis :( ) I hope things improve.

    Nicky ...well done they look gorgeous :T

    lol thanks Sally, it takes a bit of effort and tlc, I talk to my plants too :o tell them how clever they are hehe. That display will be at it's best in about another month, there's Petunias which you can see now and Lobelia in there too which will trail down the sides of the planter and have little blue flowers. Veggies are my real passion though, I just love growing things we can eat and enjoy, especially the chillis, I grow them then hubby makes delicious meals and sauces with them. :cool:

    Lol Sally, yes blue. Not all blue just the underneath bit, for now. Just been looking at the magenta and so will be getting that done in a fortnight and the top half of my hair done brown again. I've had red, pink and green in my hair, oh and purple so I fancied a bit of a change. :)

    Melvis - Its great weather here too...just hope it lasts!:rolleyes:

    Noname - I've found that with some of my clothes, different shops have different the same sizes, but they're somehow different.
    Like size 6 trousers fit me at Tescos, but Asda size 6 is too long for me!!:rolleyes:
    I haven't seen the news today...so im blissfully unaware of whether the swine flu is outside my door, or afew roads away or what!!
    Im just comping away alone in my bedroom...think i'll be safe here!;):D:cool:

    Nicky - It might be good if you enter some gardening comps, cos you might win!! ;) like growing the biggest veg type ones!!:D

    Ickle - lol. I've seen people who have streaks of colour in their hair, but not fully coloured!! My hairs just simple dark brown, but looks black! I don't even wear bright clothes, so couldn't deal with bright hair!:o

    Size 6 :eek::eek::eek: I haven't been a size 6 since I was 6 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I've done it :j:j 8 days of comps in one day :j:j only ones I have left are the ITV ones which I'm going through now, other than that I'm completely up to date on the main board (unless any have been posted in the last 20 minutes :rolleyes:)

    Tomorrow I shall tackle regulars and postals :D

    Oh God all this talk about colouring the hair makes me want to colour mine. I had it highlighted light brown/blond but my natural base colour is dark brown too. It looked very good but when it grew out, I coloured all my hair light brown ....BUT it turned into :eek::eek: jet black and wiped away every trace of the blond streaks...
    Tried to lift it up again and it turned rusty red!!!! then brown(ish) but still struggling to remove the rusty tone! I am growing it out because my natural colour look the healthiest and actually too dry to go back for highlights!!! So I have some painful wait for now
