    Good evening all.

    Wonder if there is going to be a storm in the night here. Anyone got rain yet?
    On an unrelated note, does anyone got any tips as to how i can keep the local cats from poop-ing in my veggie patch-to-be?! I deweeded it and got rid of all the dead plants yesterday but already there are a couple of deposits left which is fine now but i dont want this happening when iv got stuff growing!

    Spiky sticks stuck in the ground to spike them in the bum if they try (need to be a good 6inches or more and preferably the sort with lots of little twigs branching off.
    Or (reportedly) human male pee somewhere nearby (although prefereably not on the actual veg seeds themselves presumably)!

    Hi nicca, hope you are well and not too tired by work.

    Hmmm, I think I'll need to give June up as a bad job and hope I can catch up with you all properly in July. Missing you all! If any of you figure out how to freeze time, please do share :D

    Hiya Nicca - what with going back to work full-time and then your holiday/DIY SOS/holiday & back to work, you must be knackered and not know whether you're coming or going, but nice to hear from you again

    Apart from being tired, I hope you are well

    Thank you. I'm grand! Just tired!

    But the weather doesn't help! And rain! Tixy, I left the house to retrieve my abandoned car at around the same time the heavens were plotting to open up and drench any-one daft enough to have left the house without a jacket!

    It was short and sweet but deadly! I had to drive home in saturated jeans, smelling like a wet dog and with mad, soaking hair! Gorgeous look! I'm sure it'll catch on!

    Night all :)

    Hi nicca, good to see you again. Apart from being knackered and very short of time, hope all's well with you?

    Allie - Tixy's right about the sticks in the ground, also branches with thorns on laid over the ground would work long enough to get them out of the habit of using the ground you've just dug over. The attraction is newly dug over ground - it's lovely and soft on their pads, once it's gone a bit hard again they lose interest and find another patch.

    3Dogs - hope you had a good day carbooting

    BL - the jam looks scrummy:D

    swanfan - tennis is much better - so is cricket, they won today:j

    Off to have a wander now and check if I need to award any more ponies today.. back later to make sure Fred isn't being led astray by Wilma again;)

    PS: rain - not yet, but just heard some fearsome thunder, so someone's in for a storm
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Oh dear Nicca - as you say, not a good look - no rain here, yet
    3Dogs - hope you had a good day carbooting

    Yes, Spoon, I picked up a few bargains including a posh frock - more details tomorrow as I must get to bed now

    And we not only won the cricket, we've won the series - great, any win over the Aussies is good news

    Looking forward to hearing about the posh frock, 3Dogs, and the rest of the bargains.

    I know, great news about the series - I just didn't want to rub it in earlier:D

    'night everyone, see you all tomorrow

    Blessings all...What did I say about the footie :beer: and you just called me a jealous jock ha ha ha ....

    I had a lousey Sabbath...remember very little from 2pm-7pm..

    DON'T MENTION THE BURN ON MY LEG :eek:...

    iT's not looking good :(...reluctantly I think it needs a dressing...Handy I need you URGENTLY to come and fix my shower so I can wash my hair whilst I have the dressing on....

    So yeah....just trying to like wake up before doing daily clicks. :).....then work (might get chance to check in @ work if not down the allotment :)) and then like nap time and daily chores(cos some eejit hit the good brown stuff @ 2.30am :p)...

    My weight is down to 57.2kg....think I need another evening on the juice and rice pudding meal (kind of split) and it should be down even further (like below 9 stone) and maybe with any luck down to 8.5 stone by the time I next get weighed :D....Back on the diet...don't know why...Just makes sense...

    Anyhow have to go now and shower....

    Blessings
