Hmmm - wonder if I put up a 'would like to garden' notice in a local shop if someone would let me look after theirs
wouldnt hurt and if you put up that your charge for it would be them allowing you to have you 'own' veg patch in ther garden it could be win win, also do you have and older neighbours you could pop around to and see if they would be interested in that sort of deal?Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -

Talking of growing stuff....anyone know when I should plant me butternut squash seeds for starting off in the conservatory?Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

Have fun sally, it's been raining steadily here all morning

Sun seems to be breaking through now though
My washing and drying are in, I've made a new parkrun playlist for my ipod.
I've got 2 chicken breasts marinating in korma sauce for later and am cooking meatballs in spicy tomato and paprika sauce in the slow cooker for hubbles and son, Jess will probably demand the usual - mash & gravy, jam sandwiches or pancakes!

My friend at my new job (my neighbour-and for those of you at my b-day party, Di-the tall gorgeous black lady)has called me and is trying to get me to come to a hen weekend with all the girls from my NEW job! Its next weekend in Blackpool and will cost £100. Which I dont have sadly. She has offered to pay but I have said no, would love to go but think its too much to ask!
All the girls in the office are so nice!Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0
