I hope your mint is in a separate pot - it'll take over the world if it isn't!
My OH planted up an old Belfast sink as a herb garden for me last year and it's currently bursting with rosemary, sage, parsley, dill, camomile, lavender and a beautiful bay tree.
Fresh herbs in my cooking and Thistle is a happy bunny!!!

Hi Thistle, it's really weird but in our current garden, mint grows really poorly, whereas other houses, we've used a massive pot, this one, I grow in a raised bed - mad.
You can't beat popping outside to grab some herbs to throw in a dish. Beautiful.

Congratulations on getting a new lodger Tilly.0

Morning Mr E, I find the opposite, I prefer a houseful and cooking meals for more people, so lodgers are a good way of both earning £ and having the house full. I must admit though, when we downsize, I'm not sure we would do it
Thanks SweetDaisy/LauraJo, I just need to get the money in now :T
Quick update,

58p TT OP
I took advantage of the P£ter J@nes sale and bought two pairs of shoes plus went through TCB as well. Lets hope the cashback pays out.
I think that's all my spending done, I feel quite dizzy. Lula you need to come back and post more, you cope with this pressure better than I do
Out to the cinema this evening and then it's almost the long weekend

Morning Tilly,
Good news on the lodger. I really enjoyed having mine as it always made the house feel warm and there was always somebody in which was good for security.
Enjoy your new shoes - hope you get the cash back. I need to get back onto the cash back sites. I did we'll on them last time.
Have a good day,

Thanks for dropping by. I think I need to find more money, not sure there's any down the back of the sofa's, I've already checked :rotfl:Great news about the lodger Tilly
I'm delighted and it will be good to have a regular 'extra' bit of cash to stash away for the renovations. If only we could just click our fingers :T

Morning, I wonder whether today will bring more rain, or whether we may see some yellow stuff in the sky - after the long winter it's tragic to have hit autumn, bypassing the summer
Stuff is sorted in the garage, we need to pack them into boxes ready for the morning. Car boot sale here we come.
Have relisted three things on eb@y aagghh
Off shopping in a couple of hours and minimal spends - I'm taking cash and no cards so we cannot be tempted.
My free Ch@nel mascara arrived yesterday. I'd forgotten so that was a lovely surprise. Plus free coffee sample, which Mr T had last night.
It's time to menu plan - that can be Sunday afternoon. We're having a quiet BH weekend as we've been busy for the last couple of months. We want to see Star Trek at some point today :T
I have a small bag of clothes for the charity shop (thanks DS). DD wants to revamp her wardrobe after her exams finish - my recent shopping extravaganza has set her thinking
Ironing is on the list, plus washing and I want to do some gardening and put more seeds/veg in.
