Gardenia - really not joking, next time, i do onions i'll try and remember to get a pic taken! (tho i'm not too bad with them nowadays)


Taurus - there was a story in america and a blog, sthg like "oak park hates veggies" about a woman being taken to court as she had been growin veg in her front garden, and apparantly you weren't allowed to under some random byelaw

i've asked a nz buddy about that story, very scary if it is true

I just stumbled over this thread, yayy!! I followed the other 'tough' threads and always found things to help, things to laugh about, so I have subscribed and will be back once I have skimmed through the last 33 pages.. I could be some time..

Welcome aboard Stillstruggling. People aren't allowed to publicize their own blogs. However, if you think someone might have an interesting blog, find a post by them, then click on their name (in blue at the left hand side of the post) and you will get a selection of options including "take me to preparedathome's homepage" (always assuming they had a home page;)) which you click on. Hope that makes sense.

Liquorice toffees. And Sainsbugs coming at 2 with pink shrimps.

oh I love pink shrimps :T I like the bananas and I love the MrT bag of value banana, strawberry and orange sweeties. But shrimps are still the bestest

GQ well done on your new household member :T:T

Good luck to everyone going for and interview and to all the Mothers out there if we could live on guilt we wouldn't need whoopsies and I would be the size of a barn door :rotfl::rotfl:

We had snow this morning but then the yellow ball came out so I raced out and gave the cat pen another couple of coats of stain. Then it rained I checked the weather map thingy and it definitely said we were not having rain .......... fibbers. Only the electrics to be done now and a good clean and we are ready for the off. DH has got to fit the porch first so I don't know how long it will be as I am hoping to have a foster fur baby by Christmas.

Must get some Christmas things sorted for the boys. I think we have "stuff" in the loft that has been collected all year but the boys have only got their main gift so I need some bits and bobs and DD and SIL and........oh my I am starting to panic.


I rent my house out (moved in with now DH) and have B Gas cover for the boiler etc and they sent a renewal for £100 more per year :eek::eek::eek::eek: I must admit it has sat there staring me in the face for a couple of days so today I plucked up the courage to ring them (it can take hours to haggle ) Long story short I hung in there to the bitter end and ended up with it cheaper than last year :T:T:T. I know a lot of people would say save the money etc but I like having the tenants deal with them direct for my peace of mind.

another cat story warning sorry

One of the kittens kept on losing his collars. I have lost count how many he has had. His last one was a black little number with white fishes and very tasteful . little s*d went and lost it in less than an hour of having it on. Enough is enough of this malarky so I bought some hideous, bright pink, moon and star collars from the CS for 50p each and instead of getting DH to engrave another tag I wrote my mobile number on his collar with permanent marker :rotfl::rotfl: So the little booger has been wearing this for a couple of days and when I let him out this morning he came back with his black and white collar with his lovely silver tag on :rotfl::rotfl: He sat there on the mat with the collar at his feet :rotfl::rotfl: I think the other cats must have been picking on him about his fashion sense :rotfl::rotfl:


I have not watched the news today as I am fed up with the advent calendar of Euro doom and I much prefer my advent to be filled with chocolate.

I may treat myself to a couple of hours book reading tonight as I havn't had chance for a few days.

PICx

I have rarely been to Tescos in the last few years. I dont like it and find the whole experience a nightmare. However, twice recently I have had little choice but to go there. Jesus, how expensive is it?!??!! More than Waitrose in certain things. I wanted a mozzerella and in Lidl it is 48p.

I hate to be seen standing up for Tesco, but I buy their value mozzarella at 44p for 125g and it's fine. They seem to have a big selection with a lot of variation in pricing... http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/search/default.aspx?searchBox=mozzarella
though I am still reeling in shock from the 23p increase in the yogurts I buy DH, that's 23p up in a WEEK! I didn't buy them this week of course...

Not had coconut mushrooms?? I must be slipping! Well I got my pink shrimps, cant find any bananas in Sainsbugs think it was Asda had them. Young guy delivery driver, flew down the cul de sac, parked with a flourish. I said oooh be careful you'll get stuck. He smiled smugly and said nah I'll be all right.
Took him an hour to get out ! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I made a pot of tea and et half the shrimps watching !
