We're taking Mr LW's pal (Molly-dog's owner) to the pub tonight; he's going to have my keys and keep an eye on the house for us:) so it's a sort of advance thanks.

Mr LW had better make it worth my while.;):D

I said earlier it is already done.. why would I want to clean something that is already sparkly.. is yours?

And when have I said I wasn't done?.. recently?

Yep, you said so on the list we had to shame you cos it was gross.....I did say I hadnt read the thread, so apologies, but I was merely following your majesty's instruction.... My excuse for not reading the thread, is of course.....flying

It all went very wrong this afternoon:( Mum got a phonecall at 5.15 to say nan has been discharged with no care in place:eek: It seems nan convinced them she will be fine only when I rang her tonight she's not so fine and quite upset doesn't know how she will stand to cook a meal (she is 81 and had a hip replacement 5 days ago)

Hope it all works out for you - the state of socail care in some parts of the country is shocking :mad:

So I labelled for about 3/4 of an hour in the blazing heat in my greenhouse. Then gazed at a job well done. :T:T:T

To celebrate, I switched on the hose pipe, and gave all the plants a little soak with water. As I did so, all my carefully written messages dissolved into a blackish-green stream and ran off the sticks into the soil, leaving virgin, white, pristine, naked labels behind....

IT WASN'T A PERMANENT MARKER

Sorry, but that did make me :rotfl:
