K - poor you!! chickweed a menace - goodluck with the card - I'll pop over to the thread at lunch

I sold my first mini packet of seeds £1.00 for the seeds - charged 60p for postage (appears to be quite standard ?) which I think makes a 30p profit on post - not sure yet - but yippee.

Very small first sale (5 cucumber seeds) but its a start yippee!!

Also might have found a box with um another 50 packets veg seeds in it from my teaching class (I bought to show them the types to grow) - will add them later.

Cheery that does sound interesting thank you!! And priorities quite right.

updated cheery income grid and I've made an whopping £47.51 in Feb - early in the month though.....................:)

income grid and needs updated seed list here

Well done Pippi, and hooray for seeds sales! :T :T :T

Keiss, book is Permaculture - a beginners guide by Graham Burnett.

Have a look at the Permaculture Association website

Also, Permaculture Magazine website has a green shopping section - lots of lovely books about permaculture (I've also got The Permaculture Garden and The Permaculture Way, but there's plenty of others) - and lots of other lovely things on there!

(now, where did we put kittikins credit card?? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:)

Love the sound of a spree, yes that's definitely what it was We are quite practised at the art! She's a bad influence on me, I was as pure as the driven snow til I moved to that village

Ooh, lots of picking up the permaculture ball and running with it! I sent my spare stuff to Elantan, Pippi, so I'm glad Cheery's got some. Its a wonderful way of thinking, and I've seen that quote that Cheery brought in.

One tip I got misfired badly tho - one book I had applied permaculture to the house, and recommended using the zoning system for your DIY tools - i.e. keep your tools where they're needed, not in one stash. For me, that was completely disastrous, and for years after I abandoned it, I was finding little forgotten stashes of screwdrivers, or lightbulbs :rotfl::o Always has to be some common sense in there somewhere, and I'd let go of mine :rotfl:

Cheery_Daff

:rotfl: KC :rotfl: I believe the whole point is common sense - no point keeping your shovel in the upstairs workshop (well, that's where it is in our house) when you'll always need it in the garden...

Of course, in our house, that part of the zoning principle leads to there being a guitar next to every chair... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Thanks Cheery...I have added it to my Amazon wish list. Will consider buying it on my next spending day (hopefully not until next Monday!). Will peruse the websites properly when I am not supposed to be doing lots of other things!!

I have already learnt how to make an electricity-free fridge!! Could well set one up to keep veg chilled in a shed where there is no leccy!

Oh dear, too many ideas and not enough time to think about them!!

I have to get going with a card for DH, as well as a card for DS2 as he is 18 in two weeks time. So off to get some sttiching done...garden stuff can wait until tomorrow

Anyway, it's tipping it down now! Have a good day all x

Hi all
Thanks for the good wishes. Lump is going to be biopsied,Headache subsiding, eyes still swollen but getting there. I have a hospital appointment next month to see what they can do with the blood filled lump on my eyelid which is making my eye half closed even when not swollen. I think I see sharp things and stitches in my future.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm also a never married person but you never know what life will provide when you least expect it.
Kitikins, glad all is going well.
Pippi good luck with the seeds
Lemon tree if you pm me your address I can send you lambs ears
I'll pop back later

Not married either, two long engagements but never married. And TBH I don't think now I ever will. BF sees us in the future being married and living together when I see myself after DD has left turning into a happy hermit living on my own (hopefully somewhere warmish).

Cheery i managed to get to the ripe ole age of 37 before i got married.

Greenval i'll pm you my addy when i get home, must get off this site and back to work before long because it doesn't seem to be wanting to do itself and is in fact breeding. Hope they can sort out your eyelid soon.

Well done on selling your seeds and getting so much money in this month Pippi, i don't know if you get much through traffic at the end of your road but round here people put their egg boxes out on tables at the side of the road with a tin and people can pick up what they need and put the money in the tin. Obviously relys on honesty but it seems to work pretty well. They also sell plantlets and veggies and cut flowers that way as well.
