    You do crack me up...:D:D Don't worry, I will organise a flower arrangement session with you soon ;) I am sure Moyra will be mightily impressed by your skills...
    I too have sent my 100 quid and I am still waiting from my £100 trillion to clear the bank :mad: Do you think I should contact the Financial Ombudsman??:o

    Salut Froggy,

    I think it's a proper indictment on my flower arranging skills that I couldn't think of more than two fairly off the wall flowers - must do better. Anyway, the financial ombudsman won't take your case until 8 weeks have passed! My worry is that the comment above mine will be spammed and I'll look like a nutter! Can you tell it's a slow day!?

    Cheers,

    Billy

    Hello folks - thread newbie reporting, what a lovely friendly and supportive thread! I'll post my story later but I just wanted to pop something down quickly so I could find it again.

    I work from home mostly, so had better get back to work...

  • Froggy you are a man of many talents.

    Do you find that placing a copper coin in your flower water prolongs the flowers life?

    Also did you know that lemonade makes your flowers open up ?

    Froggy I know you know that being a florist and all but I thought I'd share the tip with the others. :D
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    Many experinced flower artists say that half a cup of bleach prolonges their life expectancy :cool:...
