    Right, not started potting yet. I don't think the weeding will be done today. Its taken me all morning to pay the rent, ( yes, i've paid the rent.) My form has come for phlebs account, ( that was quick,) they DID take note of my message after all, so i've applied for that, so i can have my benefits paid in, ( and nothing else. ) I can't even pay money in, as i read it. Very stupidly blew my food budget, ( what food budget?) on two pepper plants. Sigh. Yes i now realise miggy, its going to take some time before i can eat my own peppers, ( if ever,) and they looked so inviting :p Almost two dozen peppers well on their way to being ready to eat. Apparently the weather around here hasn't been warm enough to encourage growth, ( for those who grow their own.) Sigh

    Of course, you're welcome xx

    Does this mean a date and venue has to be arranged? I'm normally the master of this sort of thing. :o

    Speedboat rides, anyone? ( i'll have to win the lottery)

    Candyfloss?

    Sunshine - sea

    SEAGULLS :D

    It also means a commitment to a future date, doesn't it? Oooch


    I don't do future, do i?

    Ah well, never did the weeding or most of the potting, for that matter. Ok, tomorrow? I potted one lot of the pepper seeds and i've saved the other, as maybe it is a bit late. Will have to see what happens, although the shopkeeper says their seeds haven't started growing yet. Buying the plants felt like an extravagance i can't afford, but when you look at the price of peppers, ( which i rarely buy unless i get them reduced,) its a pretty good investment if i can keep the plants alive. Would potentially keep me in peppers all summer. Best get my skates on with the salad bar.

    First step me thinks is to try to find a town that means not too much travelling for any of us.

    I would imagine thats an impossibilty, given i've a rough idea where most people live. Somewhere in the middle of the country?

    Its a frightening thought. I just wouldn't know what to say to anyone. :o


    What DO you say?

    I'd best start saving now, then. Hang on a minute, didn't that beanie say something about f & c. I know where you can buy the most devine fresh crab sandwiches, very cheaply, ( and there's not many places you can do that, nowadays. )

    Okay. a stroll along the beach, f and c, ( in polystyrene containers for h & s,) :( ginger ice cream, a pot of eg, all preceded by a g and t or a glass of champers to celebrate the fact i made it there in the first place :)


    Seriously, if i met up with you guys i suspect there wouldn't be a dry eye in the place. I know i would just burst into tears, regardless.

    I suppose it doesn't matter what anyone looks like. You may have an image in your mind, ( which is probably completely wrong, ) :D but when you've grown to know someone as a person, through the written word, you would never turn round and say, i don't like the look of that person. Thats what its all about, isn't it? Although, my innermost thoughts are, well......................

    Ahhh Ani, that was a touching post - you're right, prob not a dry eye - though sounds like a jolly nice spread for a trip out x

    Hmmmm, a stroll along the beach eating f&c in the middle of the country....now THAT should be an interesting venue to find :rotfl:

    Fingers crossed for the pepper plants - if my toms ever grow any more I'll swap you some - OR I could whip up some roasted veg for us if you fancy? x

    Me too Beanie...in fact I would never have got through all the last few years were it not for the support and friendship of some truly wonderful people on MSE.

    I have been reading and lurking as had a few traumas here as one of my beloved dogs passed away suddenly which has completely devastated me:(:( she was the sweetest little soul and words can`t describe how much I miss her....but life goes on & I am so grateful she was in my life.

    Ani...you are doing so well despite everything and I admire your strength and ability to keep going.. Well done and you must believe that things will get better....yes its a fight but these days life is like that for us all. Your garden is giving you an escape and somewhere that you can rebuild and recover and just enjoying nature at its very best.

    I`m not far away Hun and as I`ve said before if you fancy a nice drive to Chats***** for a day out and maybe a wander around the big house then let me know. In fact how about a picnic for everyone in the grounds? LOL...bet we`d be a right rowdy bunch...:D

    As for meeting folks off here...personally I think that if its someone who is around for a long time and has stuck with you on your debt journey then that`s enough for me. I think when we are at a low ebb our defence shields come up and we `hide` away...I was like that but slowly I opened up and let people into my life again...now I don`t mind who knows who I am.

    Anyway I have waffled for far too long so I hope you enjoy all this lovely sunshine...it`ll bring the plants on so quickly! (hmmm & I hope my sweet peas decide to actually grow too !! )

    Angiexx
