    ... You've been working hard all afternoon in the garden. Your tired and hungry so you go into the kitchen. You open your cupboard and all you have is 1 tin of Spaghetti, 1 tin of Beans, 1 tin of Soup and 2 slices of bread.

    What would you have?


    I'd have Spaghetti and toast :beer:

    So is ours! Having broken three since moving :eek: we are using my parents weeny hover on two xtention leads. Its a pain, and i am so excited to be getting a proper mower, because it will be a job i can do with out dh. (i find the hover impossible for more than about quarter of an hour)

    Crikey, a garden your size, with a pond and stuff, on an electric mower? That's worth more than one scary blue head:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:!!! The problem you have with the hover mower I have with a strimmer. The vibration and the holding it in the on position really hurt my hands. I have been known before now to leave my lawn with very straggly bits round the edges as my hands hurt so much. I think I have the start of arthritis but don't want to go to my docs yet.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.
  • Beans on toast for me every time. Especially with a bit of grated cheese on top.

    I know, Even with extention lead if we mow it all then it takes a day /day and a half and moving the extention leads four times to for different sockets. Not funny. As it is we have forgotton the back garden and let the horses in every now and then instead and just keep the front looking a bit neater.:D

    Welcome to the nice people thread redrosephotos
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Erm... I haven't really got an answer that you could logically understand :)

    I'd assumed you were a smoker or former smoker who'd smoked State Express 555 cigarettes in your misspent youth. Cos I did!;)

    And welcome Red!:)

    I wondered about the ciggies too. Not because I know much about them, but I remember the 555 logo on GP cars:o.

    sorry, i know there are a couple of GP fans on here and I'm having a rest in between working frantically, do you not find it quite offensive they are racing in Bahrain?

    I would have hoped there would be a silent protest, like the drivers all going around at 50 miles an hour doing some laps rather than joining in all the shennanigans
