You're a wonderful person, Pippi - thanks! I have a lovely little layout drawn on an Excel spreadsheet - don't know yet whether it will transfer properly to this laptop, I've got a few problems with installing Word and whatnot, but I'll get there. Speak soon.

i managed to wrangle myself a lay in today yippee!
think it's going to be a slow day but i need to get lots of done, which is an oxy whatnot!
At least i made a start last night and the dishwasher and washing machine were fed and turned on during cheap leccy.
keep looking outside to see what the weather is doing, need to peg out stuff but it's due to rain today, already had but don't know if it will do so again.

all this talk of planting fruit bushes, should i be doing mine? I've put them in pots so that they can start building themselves up from being meer twigs but maybe i should be putting them in the ground?

A question, Pippi - you know your pancakes / bannocks? Can you make enough mix to keep till the next day?

LT - if they are bare rooted - then right into the garden will be grand for them or in a pot no right or wrong. Tough as they are - you can do what you want with them!

Yeah KC - either as the mix or as the cooked goods!

cheery will know better - but they keep well either way here.

Hope that helps!

Rhubarb jam made Pippa (from last week!) Gorgeous! Bright pink and sweet, can't wait to try it on some ice cream tonight!

Next will be maincrop chutney when its in season as my RC book says it can be used in place of mango chutney and I'm getting a bit fedup of how much it costs these days and this will come in way cheaper. Lovin' the seasonal preserving this year.

Better drag myself into the garden for a tidy up before spending my clubcard rewards on T+M website - thinking atm some winter cropping potatoes, blueberry plant and full season raspberries £15 = £40 to spend. Will have another look when the rugby's on later

Have a nice day Pips and dont stress too much about the thesis, no point doing it if your mind's not in the right place. My next assignment is due in 3 weeks - hmm better use the rainy day tomorrow to catch up on some reading otherwise eeeeekkkk!

And really better pay some bills, saving shuffles and CC overpayments, really really must do this....

Elidee - tee hee

Very cool sparkles - the garden thats the place outside the window which is in a hurricane at the moment right???? I can only look and sigh - bah!

Envy of garden action today - not a hope here - indoor gardening being done though................:) many houseplants to take cuttings of - and sell in the land of virutal gardening! I'm bestowing the merits of spider plants for healthy air/office work - they are brilliant plants for that.

I've done some snoopy ebaying for seeds to see what folk send - mine are more than delightful! And, I'm happy to work out costings now.

Oh and i downloaded the ipad thingmy for ebay - which is brilliant - at a glance I can see whats sold and a nifty postage adder upper - OK I can do it online but you know what lifes too short - I can just plonk in the wieght and hey presto I get my rate

Technology eh.

glad you've got things made easier for listing everything, you'll need to with what you need to sell and raise.

think i'm going to give up on hoping to get the washing outside, just don't think it wil happen so i shall peg stuff up indoors and turn on the dehumidifier.

OH is working a 12hr day today which always makes me feel like i'm at a loose end. Weird as i was a singleton and happy for so many years before he came along and used to entertaining myself all the time.

Right I'm off now to peg some washing out now the grey clouds have gone and revealed some blue sky
