It must sit very well with the universe all this tree planting

Aw cheery have a hug - not a great time to tell you your card and a wee thing not mailed yet?

I hope the tree planting might let me off for the crap writing!

Ooh, lovely Pippi! Shame about the timing though. Is there someone that can give you a hand? Would your DD do it?? Or a student at the college or something? So you could get half the time and half the money, and still keep your hand in?? Nice to know the work's there though longer term, and well done on the ebaying! :T :T

Gosh, don't worry about not posting me anything Pippi, you've got enough on your plate! My own mother texted earlier to say she'd accidentally put a 2nd class stamp on my card so I won't get that on time, so you're in good company! :rotfl:

Well, exciting news, OH is still feeling quite poorly and is in bed, but we just chatted and he's determined that he'll be cycling over tomorrow to join me and the hordes for birthday cakes I've told him I won't be devastated if he can't make it, as we are DEFINITELY (well, as much as we can) on for Thursday in London. Gotta love that man's dedication to the cause of moi!

I've just finished cooking the cakeys - 2x carrot loaves (one for work), 1x tray of delicious gluten free choccy brownies (cheated and used a great mix), 24x fairy cakes (want to take some to the class I volunteer with at lunchtime tomorrow) and DD has made me 1x chocolate butterfly cake which she is going to decorate for me in the morning and somehow we'll hide it so I don't see its wondrousness til the big moment - she's even "bought" me 4 and 0 shaped candles and has festooned the house with tinsel, it's very kitsch and I LOVE it!!

My lovely friend who makes amazing cakes told me not to make too many cakes, so happy birthday to me!! I should have sufficient for all 20+ people I've randomly invited to have afternoon tea!

Now I know OH is on the mend, it's a thing of his illness that he gets rubbish days and good days, I'm a very happy Kittikins again!

Just need to tidy up the carnage in the kitchen before I can go to bed!!

Pippi - I'd love some courgettes, list them please

Cheery_Daff

Lob a couple of cakes this way if you've got spare KK! :T Friend made some lovely jam doughnut cakes (!) today, but I won't have any tomorrow unless I make them myself, which I haven't (I guess there's still time! :rotfl:)

KK you make me very tired

CHeery in my defence - I found a lovely thing, but didn't want to buy a box (a billion at home) to mail and your addy at home too - bah to my being clever eh?
And good idea, I'm talking to my brother about those trees x

KK pm me and tell me what you want I'll get them in the mail for you xxxx

Good luck with t-party - how lovely - and you don't look a day over 21

Well done kk

The last of my plants listed for now - phew!

(aside the ones in reserve!) and the ones for me

Xx

Oh dear no they aren't I've just remembered about the cape gooseberries, melon seedlings and more bluddy courgettes!

Oh well

Cheery_Daff

You don't sound toooo disappointed about all those extra plants Pippi!
