  • thanks mongy

    apprieciate your comments ! I do need a shove sometimes when it all gets too much lol.

    I do online banking and have set up a paymeny direct to my mortgate company so I can go to my online bank and just select how much I wanna pay as and when I want.

    Just ring ur bank with your mortgage account number and sort code etc etc....

    I am not been very successful wi my toms this year they dont seem to be turning red which is dissappointing me.

    Ydont u set up a diary would be interesting t read and there is so many good people on here willing to offer good advice

    I chopped down my toms yesterday as its getting colder, all the green toms have been put on my windowsill to ripen on the vine - so far so good. Not got much idea what the black marks could be I'm afraid, if you cut into them is there any insect damage?
    Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck :)
