    Thanks Peedie, paw tip back :D

    Hope the blog isn't too boring but there is only so much you can say when you are almost housebound :o



    Farming sounds interesting, good lick with the exam.

    lol was that a message from Rodders? Isn't it good how he's made himself at home here with all of us.

  • Hooray indeed - half term here for two weeks LT :) we call it the 'tattie' holidays - when I was little you were used to help pick the tatties in this holiday.

    They'll hopefully decide soon and that will so ease the money stuff.

    Just thinking to go out and see where I'll plant a pallet full of killer, mutant pampas grass which I got last week free from a guy at work. Managed to get a pallet full of it home in my car :) was a close call thought I'd maybe be attacked by it, but I was safe. :) just done a pampas related blog - eaten a nice family lunch and thinking of wrapping up and going out side for a while :)
    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:

    Hey, you're not such a small fish, more of a great big graceful salmon (don't think I've ever called anyone a salmon before but it's meant in the nicest possible way :rotfl:)

    Was thinking of you last night when I saw the weather forecast - stay cosy!

    Big fish. Absolutely - a salmon is fine :j Pippi, you're a salmon, not a shrimp :rotfl:
    Why is it that boys (always the boys) need to tell the joke 'I do like a good crepe in the morning' when you make crepes - every time one of them comes out with that comment, without fail - then they both (gamer and Mr F) snigger like wee lads.
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    And that makes me snigger :rotfl: I honestly had to work it out tho - I'm such a weed at this stuff :rotfl: not at all :cool:

    I love that!

    Good luck with it - you give it a good talking to, it'll behave in no time.

    Pippi, I think Cheery's saying that the number of thanked posts are **more** than the number of *total* posts - which is impossible! They've got a glitch somewhere....

    Hope pampas grass has different connotations where you are than it does around here Pips, but then you don't have close neighbours so hopefully they won't be shocked or go looking for their car keys ;)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Now given the amount of the stuff that grows here and everywhere on the islands I hope *that* use isnt' well documented.

    I did think to mention it on my blog but thought better leave that out - the links to :rotfl:*swinging* (not the play park type) are well known.:eek:

    Funny though

    KC and cheery thank you for explaining!

    I've gone out and ordered wood for the tunnel £35 and its being delivered for free if I'm happy to wait, I said I'll wait:money:

    Gamer and I walked down by the loch at a local 'beauty spot' with muttley and had a good natter - he needed wood for a project too so we got that ordered too

    Got forms in to finish PVG application and more petrol £1.46 ltr (its gone down a bit)

    Off to google get to glasgow combo's - think I'll have to drive but looking at all the other options to see if they are doable
