  • Hi still reading.

    Bog of cats :rotfl:

    Just having a quick lunch break.

    Trying to decide what to do with my chives, and my corriander which is looking very sorry for itself, any ideas welcome. Does corriander die off in the winter and would it benefit to being treated like a house plant for a while.

    I am having a grumpy day, not much luck on the car part front :(
    and I think the repair the part route will be just too expensive:eek:
    Well shopping list and putting clothes away for me before I get on with some more studying :(
    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly

    Hey up ducks

    Dashed out early so didn't get on here

    Done the flowers for the cafe ladies were really sweet told me they were good enough to get married with and I left with them chattering about takign a photo of them - sweet! Planted up a whole pile of bulbs at work for flowers in spring/summer - decided if I'm in to do flowers, I'm making Monday am's flower morning. Thesis bound and a book and awaiting payment (they don't have a card machine atm so I'll have to send a cheque)

    Hm brekkie (banana, plums, apple and a coffee at work)
    Lunch - bran flakes and a bit shortbread anohter apple
    tea - dunno but something from here - I'm not going out again - apart from petrol £29.33 a Nsd

    I hope you're all good. Trog - swimming wow - how lovely and yeah trees for now will be in pots in the ground or in pots in the tunnel will move when we do in a few years - KK I hope you made it through a Nsd, sfrd - (()) re car stuff you can bring coriander in for a bit if you like, its an annual so a bit of indoor love wont hurt it - chives I chop up with scissors and bag up in the freezer - use in omelettes or in dishes which need a bit of onion action. cheery bogof cats indeed - how funny eh?

    Blowing an absolute hoooley here - and sideways rain, inbetween bright sunshine, bonkers.

    Bank ok - rent paid (yay) and £20 left in the account for 3 days, other bank OK about £60 in there but regular od charges (on that account) to be taken off soon

    cc one - 879/1000, other cc 1371/2100 - money for cover in there but not off again iyswim. Although put petrol on that card and need redo sig for oct.

    *job still not advertised* hope it is soon. cried off paid garden work today, I'm keen and all that but not in a gale and sideways rain. Figure more productive and less wet at home.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:

    Pah to job not being advertised - any idea when?? Have you got your cv all ready to go?? Well done to crying off gardening in sideways rain! :eek: not sure that counts as 'crying off' mind you! ;)

    Yay for lovely ladies with your flowers - could you do home grown wedding flowers???? :j :j Good idea to make a specific day flower day - and Monday morning is absolutely ideal, start the week off in a cheery fashion! :T :T :T

    Thinking about you this morning, and that cheery dog of yours :) We often do impressions of him down here when we're in need of a bit of cheeriness :o :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
  • Impressions of peedie? Now you have to tell more

    CV ready (um maybe I need to check it again?) no idea when it will be advertised, or interviewed.......................:(

    Homegrown flowers are very cheerful and a great start to a monday you're right - are you meaning 'our' wedding or weddings in general? I think I'd give myself a nervous breakdown to do anyone elses!!!!

    weather is just revolting today - we've an arctic summer, not an indian one..........................................

    I'm very tired, think it might be weather related.

    Well, we do an impression of his little paws trotting along while singing 'keep those paws a-buttling' when we need cheering up (oh dear, now I'm going to have to explain the concept of buttling (as in a butler, who might 'buttle' you a cup of tea :D) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:)

    And this morning Mr Daffs was lying on the kitchen floor pretending to be peedie when he flops down against your foot :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Oh dear! :o:o:o :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    (and I meant weddings in general! :D)

    Thats so sweet! **beams happily**

    Pippi - missed you! I'm glad it was for a flowery reason.

    And I think wedding flowers would be a brilliant idea!
