Made tea today using veg out of the garden. Such a satisfying feeling? What's your best/worst crop?

Oh b***** about the glass. Don't fret about it though, accidents happen and it could have been worse.
Clever girls laying some lovely eggs for you too. Enjoy.

Good morning folks, at least its sunny today. No mention of the glass:eek:yet will keep shtum for the time being me thinks;). OH has painted the new place through and got home after 10pm last night, so he went in a bit later this morning tired bunny bless. So far have done online banking and must update sig as cc is going in the right direction. Loaf in the bm and washing done ready to go out, hope showers aren't too heavy today.

Lucielle my best veggies have to be the huge sweetcorn, now I dont plant too many as they take up so much space, I have them in the polytunnel and they are gorgeous when you eat them really fresh, so sweet yummy! Have had loads of strawberries this year too and got an ice cream maker as a pressy from my mum so we had lots of strawberry ice cream the kids loved it. :j I also have beetroot which is my personal fave and onions, tomatoes and a couple of cucumbers, oh and I have some blackcurrants which are outside. Not too much to look after but just enough.
Next year my dear OH said he will make me some raised beds outside for some spuds, cauli's and peas, so thats next years project. (Along with finishing this extension, footpaths, garden, etc etc etc oh and sorting out damp problem in existing lounge!!! Never ending is it?

Right off to push to hoover round now the troops are up and about. Will pop back in later.

Well done, you are doing great and seem really organised. All your lovely fresh fruit and veg sounds wonderful, we don't have any but do get some from friends and it is so lovely.

Morning peeps,hope all is well. It absolutely hammered down with rain last night here so it was a surprise to see the sun this morning.

Got a spoof email from paypal yesterday you know when something isnt quite right. Anyway they were talking about unauthorized use of a credit card on my a/c. Havent even got one!! I use the prepay voucher thingies and havent bought anything either. Sold one item and have about €7 in the pot so it was all a bit odd. Anyway forwarded on to their spoof dept.
Wanted to do a bit of selling on ebay but then realised Ive left my battery charger in Wales with my mum so hey ho will have to wait!
You all seem good a making a few quid. Ive signed up for some on line surveys but havent heard back yet, suppose there is less of them here.
Done online banking so no nasty surprises, washing done and out on the line so make something for tea now.
Kids are home and DS is going to help the teacher dig the spuds in the school garden today so hopefully will get some nice new spuds for his efforts.
Off for a cuppa and catch up on some diaries.

I really must do the ebay thingy. Duh forgot to mention what the charger was for! Its my camera battery charger so I cant take any pics of anything yet. Will phone mum tonight get her to post it to me. Must try to make some money out of all the stuff I have lying around. Ive got some lovely Beatrix Potter figures had them years in boxes too. Not sure if I can bring myself to part with them, but some of them are getting good prices. Will I, Wont I oh I dont know.
Didnt get loads done today, dropped small man with his friend for the day, made some chilli for tonight and nursed my cat with some antiseptic. Im trying to keep him in for a while, difficult as OH is allergic to cats!!! He's been fighting with another cat and has some nasty cuts over his eyes, looks a bit like Rocky after 15 rounds IYKWIM, Poor fella, he's such a softy and is only a young puss.
Anyway must press on and get tea for the youngsters, OH will be late and must remove puss from the couch before he gets home!!! Will pop back later.
ps polytunnel is good and its so lovely and warm in there too! Put it on your birthday, mothers day, xmas list all rolled into one Lucielle;)

Live in rented accommodation so not really an option. Children love playing footy so a green house is out as well.

Hello everyone hope your enjoying your weekend. I did post earlier but had puter probs so its in cyberspace somewhere.
Had a busyish day, done some washing, now soaking wet still on the line!! ITS MEANT TO BE SUMMER:mad: Dropped DD off to work only to find out she shouldnt be there, the cafe is very quiet due to a major accident on the road so three of them werent needed. Wish someone had phoned as its a 14mile round trip I didn't need Aggghh. Anyway had to get petrol and feed a neighbours cats wo's away til tomorrow!
OH came home and went back out again with a mate he hasnt seen for a while! So thats about my day, was going to make curry but dont want to eat curry late as we'll all have indigestion so havent bothered now. havent seen him most of the week as hes been working late and today finishes early and goes out. Rant over had to get that off my chest IYKWIM:eek:
On a brighter note OH had bought some roofing sheeting a month ago cost €500 that we didnt really have, and now we dont need as he has the new premises, so another mate has offered to buy them but cant pay all at once. OH says we can put that towards the DFW fund hooray:T Perhaps shouldnt get too excited, as he still hasn't noticed the broken glass:eek::eek::eek: Well a result of some kind I suppose.
Have watered the veggies and got a few tomatoes and blackcurrants for some jam making!
