Someone congratulate me? I have dug all the garden bar the part I am sticking the potatoes in. one cloche is up with beetroot and spinach beet seeds under it. Tomatoe seeds, butternut squash and pumpkin seeds are all in trays and in the mini greenhouse and leek seeds are in those little cardboard pots ready for going straight into the garden when they appear

Hey :T :T :T Well done, moggins!! :j :j

To compensate for my spending spree DH came back from the dentist to tell me that his dental treatment won't cost £240 after all, they have restructured the prices and he only had to pay £42.50 for the whole lot, he's paid it in advance and I now have £100 spare from the money I saved towards his treatment

Phew!! That must have been a relief on the bill!! Bonus having extra money though

I sort of cheated for tea, I was just too exhausted to fillet and cook mackerel so I thawed some chicken breasts and shoved them together with a jar of Sharwoods Korma sauce which was half price at Tesco last week. It was still cheaper than a takeaway which I was tempted to get

Another :T :T :T Well done for not giving into temptation :T

Another bloke on OS - Welcome Dilbert and be careful - youll be washing everything with vinegar and a microfibre cloth before you know it!!

I'm already doing the vinegar thing . Last weekend was cleaning OH's car and thought I'd get some brownie points by using a vinegar solution on the windows. Didn't look so clever when I managed to drip some in my eye:eek: . Boy does it sting!!! Come to think of it I don't remember seeing any H&S warnings about vinegar on the site.

twink

talking about vinegar i saw that if you wipe it on your car windows they wont freeze over so much on cold mornings

Probably because we didn't expect anyone to use it as eyewash :rotfl:

OS H&S warning: vinegar is an acid - acid stings
OS H&S warning: some women have acid tongues (boy! Do *they* sting!!)
OS H&S warning: wear marigolds if using lemon juice when cleaning - it stings
OS H&S warning: bee's sting
OS H&S warning: "Sting" is the lead singer of an 80's band called "Police"
OS H&S warning: you've now made a rod for your own back (Old saying) by cleaning OH car ... you'll be expected to do that eternally now :laugh:

I'm back :hello: Just logged Dilbert off, I hope . Don't want him hijacking my school laptop. He's got his own computer upstairs. By the way, he's a technology expert. Don't take any notice of his "jokes" as he works in IT! :rolleyes:

On a more serious note, Grandpa is still in hospital . Evidently they've found more things wrong with him that previously thought. He's not doing too badly for a 90 year old though, is he?

Anyway, it's time for Dilbert to make me a cuppa!

You will need one of these then Racy when you put them on.

P.S. I have one (Its a Manola Blahnik!!!!) No I do not have a thing about high heels either but I had to get one of those purely for the design of it. I'm ashamed to say that I get my shoes made by Tim Little (see http://www.timlittle.com/public_html/page1.htm ) But they last for years so I'm happy.

Aww, Vicky! He's in the best place for now - wishing him well and hoping that you and your family are coping with this ok. And no, he's not doing too badly for 90yo at all ((hugs))
