Sorry to hear old doggy is having falling down incidents again hope she gets over it and the sickness quickly (((hugs)))

Jinky thats brilliant that your friend can see the difference in you - i will take her word for it and be very pleased for you xx and thats a great sum of money to raise - well done all of you:T
Hex sounds like you had a good day - yes I am going to order the T&M ones next week when my money comes in - they boast that they are very fragrant!

On serena's advice I bought 3 packets of hardy annuals when i was in asda's - there wasnt a huge choice left - I got cornflower, candytuft and scabious.

better go round up some stars and then get myself ready for the morning.

I have 15 single freesia bulbs that came as a freebie on my bulb order if they are any use to you? I struggle with bulbs in pots as the chickens trash them . If you are going for the T&M plugs there is a 10% code, PM me if you need to.

I have now filled the DW, made SS2s bed and had a vague tidy round. Need to get the dyson out but really CBA.

Penelope Penguin - Chocolate vine is this no idea why, neither smells nor looks like chocolate. I had two from my ever generous Dad who is a prolific collector and propogator of plants. I saw a picture of your trellis on the gardening thread last year or the year before and was deeply envious. Please post it again so I can show my lovely DH :A. I need more places for Clematis .

Greenbee - my friend has that Kenwood and loves it - I'm very jealous but can't justify one with having a magimix.

I have a 1500w magimix and no DH or children, but I can still justify it... it's better for cakes (and bread dough apparently) but not worth getting one with less than 1000w motor. I'm tempted to get the juicer and then pass my magimix juicer on to someone else, but I might have to wait...

Hex - best way to get rid of violets

sadly it's not always as simple as it seems from the customer end, but trust me, they won't have been changing anything without a good reason... earache from users is enough to put most techies off unnecessary changes (and the costs is enough to put the people paying the bills off!)

ETA - hex - I thought the chocolate vine was supposed to smell like chocolate... in the same way chocolate cosmos are... and I've found more places to put clematis... along the fence where the old shed was... but I need to finish the bit of the garden that has already been done before I make a start on that!

LOL.. it has to be done.. sliding that next tile along... I can now see the walls on the landing so can paint them!!

I have just got the girls room to tidy and restack.. and the landing to paint.. it is literally emulsion so will take a day tops to get done.. apart from the 9 strips of wallpaper which will take another day.. and the gloss.. which OH can do while I paper.. So.. by next weekend I should have the girls room tidy, the landing, hallway and stairs finished.. then the next time the children are away to KH's (in 2 weeks time) we want to spend the Friday while they are at school emptying our room of boxes and stuff.. and quickly get it sanded and vacuumed... then the following week we can move the junk back in and paint one wall at a time.. it will only take a week or so.. and I can get the carpet down and THEN I will stop.. apart from maybe buying the guttering for my uncle to put up for me.. it SHOULD take 5-6 weeks maximum from now to get finished.. and baby SHOULD hang on for a few weeks after that so I can get his stuff washed and sorted and the cot together and maybe do a little more flinging.. but no more decorating until at least christmas lol

I do have a plan..

Greenbee - most violets are lovely, but the one Dusty and I are on about is a creeping one that self propogates and takes over everything. It is pretty but is chokes everything, if left it will suffocate the roses. I had the chocolate cosmos and killed it I think . I don't have much sense of smell so things have to be strong for me to notice.

Still not moved, and I need another cup of tea. Kettle on, and fill the WM.

Hi everyone!

I had a lovely day in Birmingham visiting my nanny from when I was little who lives there now- bought my brother's birthday pressie and a pretty summer dress for me

Have done lots of tidying today to catch up on lists, have caught up on the thread but it's all gone straight out of my head, so hugs to eveyone who wants one.

I'm going to update my list now

That's what I thought and why I let them grow. But they are invasive b*ggers and have completely covered the soil around the rose beds which the rose will not like.

Time to get those beds made.
