    I slept late again this morning, although i spent most of the evening dozing on the sofa, as ever. Some late night gardening, very productive, albeit difficult :rotfl:I've had enough of the garden now. When does gardening season end? More to the point, when does sc season end?

    None of the " important " mail has arrived today, so i'm going to take a day out of life. My haircut is long overdue, so self pampering is the order of the day. I should also now step up my search for cheap car insurance, as my insurance expires next week. Life is going to be very difficult, to say the least, without wheels. I reckon i could be marginally better off once all the benefits carp is sorted, although i still defy anyone to live on what? £300 a month. Thats not live on food. That's bills and everything. Absolutely everything, after i've paid rent and council tax. Got to have an argument with ha first, when they discover i've not paid the rent, this week.


    I've read it's possible to get classic car insurance for £150 a year. Ani definitely comes into the classic car category, but no one will insure, because i drive my car? Idiots. I also saw, on my travels, someone was more than optimistically selling one for £8.5k. Blimey. They are more than optimistic. Unrealistic, more like. Besides, ani is going to rack and ruin, and desperately needs some tlc, ( and money spent.) :(


    So i will try and take a day out from it all today, as the rest of the week is filled with appointments. By the time my sw comes calling, there will be nothing left to sort? I doubt it.

    If you go by Megabus, we can pick you up from Boro for your tea and biscuits, then take you back for the next bus which we will then join because you don't think I am missing out on F&C, do you?

    And is this haircuts day or something? Three people have mentioned getting their hair cut this morning. Are you trying to tell me something? :D

    Ermm, what happened to the ginger ice cream? :p

    Yes. You should cut your hair as it can be used a slug repellent. I have saved my hair cuttings, ( such as they are,):rotfl:and i'm going to decoratively display around my lupins, ( and my sweet peas, if there are any left,) as instructed by my how to kill a slug book. I will publish said extract for your perusal ( eventually.) :D
