Great news on new family traditions Wik. I love starting new traditions. They have to start somewhere you know. Pippi HOW MANY willows are in that freezer wow!

Sitting in hotel restaurant. Just eat fish for the first time in 5 years, well the vegetarian option was out of stock!! I havent eaten since 7 this morning so I thought what the heck!!!!!!!! Tuna, I did check that it was dolphin friendly and caught from sustainable stock (hey if they lied I am oblivious) but it was really tasty.

So sitting in a hotel restaurant checking MSE - how sad!!!

Cheery_Daff

Not sad at all Cherisong - eminently sensible if you ask me

sounds like you're fridge is full of very interesting things.
Hope you get some time to chill and relax sounds like you could do with it.

Thats terrible that they were out of stock , that to me says it was probably something frozen anyway ,
but they still should be able to muster something fresh up ,salads , fresh veg , rice , cous cous, pasta,
,,shame on that hotel and more so on the chefs :mad: :mad:


Rant over ,
ps I'm not a veggy and I hate cooking for them but still do it when asked to.

Pippy ,
I have just brought 2 Globe artichoke plants (90p each) , I would like to try to harvest the chokes , but do I have to wait a year after planting as they are only 8 leaf plants and therefore diddy???
I also brought a Sage plant, the lady undercharged me for it and told me that before she rung it in , go figure. :j

Hammy you'd be best to leave them this year - but if you can't then go for it - they might not even flower this year!

Hello all

finally organised an uplift for the polytunnel from its old home to here - I'd hoped we'd manage to get it ourselves but the bits are 6m long - not a hope - but we tried!

Banks are scary very scary - paid for the materials for that job upfront but waiting for some of the final bits to get home here so I can't start until its all here - will get there - but scary days!

DD passed grade 5 cello whooppee
Finished the last of the hedge at mypals house and got to play with new chainsaw!

Aside all that - nowt much happenning - couple ebay sales - more writing done - did I mention money is scary?

I'm quiet due to writing and life in the way - but here in my heart - X

Checkign banks daily and making sure I don't go over my od limit - been a long time since this tight - but hey ho - not worked in 6 months - (well for money) - hens laying - we won't starve but I do need to keep a tight reign on it all.

Money from paypal hopefully going in tomorrow - OH lent me a bit of the plant job outlay money to help out

Petrol at 1.45 ltr - is NOT helping.

Hope you're all good

Congratulations DD, you must be so proud of her Pippi.
Sorry the mice have been at your finances and made them all squeaky, if you can find even one second just imagine what they would have been like if you hadn't have cleared your debts before you reached this stage.

Keep writing - I had my final sign off letter today - it *is* possible to get to the end, I promise! :j
