How to Get Through The Tough Times The Old Style Way.

7ww, these things do happen in bunches.

Re gardening in flats, depends how much you like your view. My first ill summer when I couldn't get out much I filled the window sills (no balconies so inside) with tomatoes/herbs/lettuce/strawbs. The flat smelled amazing of tomatos all the time, and the plants FILLED the windows. It was a bit gloomy inside, but it was a hot summer so they filtered some of the heat out along with all the light.

I'd love plant stands for under my windows, front and back. DH thiks the ones at the front might get nicked though. Under one of my back windows I've made a couple of stacks of brick and put a plank over them and put all the gernaiums/pelagoniums out on there. They look jolly if not tastful (and mine are all a bit leggy and ratty, so benefitted a little from a change in pot/compost and some trimming, though more is needed). Long term I'd like something a little less home made looking but this will do for a while

Congratulations on reaching Debt Freedom:beer:

Been meaning to ask - is there any good news re housing? Was thinking this morning "Must be round about time Sammy heard how her bid for that 3 bedroom house she mentioned is doing...."

*********************

Re troubles coming in groups. Its certainly sometimes been my experience of them too - and getting really frustrated shaking fist at sky with "Oy....cant you at least send them one at a darn time - so I can deal with problem A before problem B surfaces:mad:". Was only listening to someone today talking about having 3 major problems that have all come up at once to deal with - so no wonder they look tired right now....

I have to admit my troubles are all flowing in thick and fast and as quick as I deal with one another surfaces.

The light is a bit of a problem but OH is very handy and I'm sure he could come up with something. :beer:

Absolutely fantastic!

I don't know if it is just me but the page has gone very wide and won't all fit in my browser. It doesn't look as if it should be the photos, they are all quite small. Ah, well no doubt it will fix itself when we go onto another page.
