    Gran - congratulation to the whole family. Rubber ring to sit on. Large Jug of water to pour over as she wees and lots of encouragement and love.

    Roast chicken for dinner and DH made fab gravy. He has been cutting the hedges and jet washing the sunloungers (he wants to watch sport on tv all day tomorrow hence being so pro-active ;))

    DH just gone to get DS1 from cricket. He has scored 56 with the bat - his record and after winning the golf tournament he was in last week will be a happy bunny :D

    Going to tidy up from dinner and then do a few bits off my list.

    Need to pick strawberries again and the blackcurrents are ripe so tomorrow I can start making cordial.

    Valli - after my strawberry jam success how easy is blackcurrent jam? Oh and hope you had a wonderful time up north ;)

    Thanks everyone. I cant believe it Im sitting with a grin on my face.

    Went to see mum and she didnt want to go out. So she had a smoke and we sat in the lounge. She had a big smile on her face. I massaged her hands for her which she loves. Spoke to the qualified about her assessment on Tuesday. She gave me a few pointers. Apparently mum often refuses her medication. This will tick one of the boxes.
  • Hi, sorry for coming to you unannounced as it were. We also have an allotment with a humungus amount of raspberries. Any tips for preserving? One guy on here stated that he bottles his, but I wouldn't know where to start! This is out first year with an allotment. Neighbours are being very good by eating tons of lettuce!
