Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

Very jealous. I love Wilks and there are none at all near me. Mind you I would only get more upset at the state of my garden if I looked at the seeds

Pippi, I just posted something on Cheerys thread re Redbubble.com. I meant to mention it to you after seeing the photos of the chucks in the buttercups. I really love the one of Einstein amongst the buttercups and I think that it would make a great canvas. Have a look over on the site as you can sell your photos as cards, canvas, prints and framed prints. Might be worth a looksee. I bet that sunset with the posh car would sell too.

Your photos are stunning by the way.

Have been trying to work out a plan to get a summer holiday in (its not going to happen) I was persuading Mr C that he needs to go to Orkney but when I mentioned chicken minding and then showed him your pics he thought it best not to put temptation in my way as I might just put Einstein in the back of the car.

He is indeed the Johnny Depp of the Chicken world

Redbubble is free and only small commission to pay on any photos you sell.

Looks like a nice site doesn't it Chev?

Thank you for the link Cheri I'm not sure any of my photos are that good tbh but i do try lol to stealing einstein - he'd happily come along! You'd be very welcome anytime and I always need house sitters just give me a shout if you can persuade him.

In office today

Got forms to fill in for training as a verifier
Sorted out times/dates for evenign class
Collected a pile of egg boxes
Lunch later with a chum go me eh?
1-2 hours paid gardening work later on today

Checked bank - moved another £250 to CC (OH pitched in for half the car bill) - so putting it straight to CC
Friends coming for tea tonight (reduced local stew, free lovely german sausages) reduced cabbage and peas

LT - sparrow grass = asparagras Grandad calls it that!

Sunny here - almost balmy - was terrential rain yesterday

I hope you're all good - thank you those shoppers whom have come forward I very much appreciate it

Einstien could have his own chart - it would appear he's a busy boy most days with ahem, 10 ladies to keep aquainted with. And, he appears to make sure no one's excluded. I think if he had a star each day for his exploits he'd run out of stars!

:mad: to W!lkinsons - think they've got me 'sacked' as a 'personal purchaser' on day one!!

Is it SOOO difficult to put a 50% sticker on a packet if it is discounted and leave it off if it is not???? Is it SOOO difficult to put packets of seeds (by the hanger full) in the discounted area if they are, and keep them well clear if they are still on the 342 offer????? :mad:

Pippi - I have pm'd you the list of 'wot i got'. I have also made a note of the seeds that are still :mad: only on the 342 offer to give you an idea of what is worth getting when you're with wik or shouting up for us lot to look out for when they eventually get round to discounting them! (I will pm this separately to avoid confusion).

Why do shops discount seeds that can still be planted now to get a harvest this year, but keep seeds at a higher price that should off been germinated months ago to stand a hope in **** of giving you a harvest this year .......and breathe.

The Johnsons seeds were most of the 50% bargain rail - they did have a better variety selection tbh, but of course are more expensive to begin with, so 50% is good, but still pricey.

Anyway, hope you are having a nice lunch and everyone else is having the grandest of days

Greying

Cheery_Daff

Suspect people doing the price stickers in wilkos don't know one way or another when the seeds should have been planted greying! Perhaps more to do with how many they've got left?! Or sell by dates?? Stupid things anyway!
