    Hi everyone :wave:

    (((Pip))) Good to hear from you.

    Greenval - that sounds so scary - hope it's all ok now.

    I just thought I'd pop over your fence to update you on all things spider plant - 'tis alive and well :T Yay. I've become so green-fingered I even bought myself a little ivy plant and some lucky bamboo too :p I've also got some mugs that look pretty but I don't like drinking out of so I'm going to try my hand at planting some herbs.

    Inspirational Pip! :)

    glad to see you back here Pippi even though underneath you're all unsure, it's to be expected so please don't expect too much of yourself.
    Well done for your little income streams, if you weren't so far away i'd pay you to help us get on top of the lottie but i'll just have to keep sending OH up and going up myself. :)

    Well done on the sales Pippi, but you're right, Paypal do take a big cut, you have to take that (and ebay fees) into account or you'll end up making a loss. Paypal must be raking the money in - can you buy shares? :rotfl:

    Greenval, glad you had that alarm. Heard recently from a friend that she lost a friend of hers in similar circumstances. The friend felt sick and dizzy with bad headaches, went to hospital, was sent home in the early hours saying it was 'a virus', went back to bed and was still in bed when her housemate went out to work, she came home at lunchtime to check and found her dead in bed.

    What's purslane like - is it worth growing? It sounds very healthy!

    My sprout and leek seedlings are just coming up - will have to see what I can start off next.

    Ooh, additionally, when you get a sec please can you let me know if you're up for selling some coriander seeds as we seem to have started a growing club at work! At the moment we have three pots of chillis and a pot of strawberries sitting on a chair by a large window!! So I am thinking I might be able to join in :D (not sure if the office manager will notice and remove them though!).
