    Definitely nothing to report after yesterday's excitement. Today is coffee shop day, I think it's the Friday shift where the hellcow is running the ship :(

    I must buy some hair conditioner before work, I've scraped and rinsed all I can get out of the bottle. I think there are a few good offers on, I will find one! Other than that shouldn't be any other spends in the offing. Although I am tempted to buy another pair of jeans, one pair isn't really enough when you wear them everyday. I shall see if I can get the same discount again. I will go in with a cup of coffee for the lady....:D

    I've been doing Mrs B's Tilly's tidies against the targeted cc and have paid off a whole £8.08 this month :rotfl:on top of minimum payment of course. Just rounding down the pennies will make a difference.

    Hello Piquant just come across this thread for the first time and saw your lovely herb garden and hessian planters.

    I was just thinking of using them myself the other day but was wondering whether they need drainage holes?

    I presume not due to the weave of the fabric.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Piq you've hit the jackpot! A man who pays you compliments and throws chocolate at you :rotfl:

    There's someone for everyone in this world - maybe romance will strike. I hope so.

    I'm not looking for romance, really I'm not. But he was rather gorgeous. If he calls me it will be because he wants a gardener, not a woman.....

    Hello rubytuesday :hello:

    Lovely of you to pop in. The bags don't need drainage holes, the water flows through. I like the idea that I can move them about with the sun or away from the weather if I want to. Of course I must get some supports, but that will have to wait until the weekend now.

    Please hang around, there are one or two mad people on here, but not me :D

    Well I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It might not come to anything but I think love finds you when you're ready - whether you're looking for it or not. But if not love... a little flirting over the tomato canes or a glass of wine is always nice :)

    What tomato canes? I left them behind :rotfl:

    I think you might be a romantic :) Honestly I'm not much to write home about!

    :rotfl:I definitely am a romantic. I kissed a lot of frogs before meeting Mr F when I was 38 but I never gave up hope of finding my soul mate.

    I don't think many of us are super models but we've all got attributes and talents we can be proud off. I think you should start writing down a list of all the things that are good about Piq (on-line or off-line). I challenge you to think of 10 things in the next 24 hours. Here's a couple to start you off; Piq is talented, determined and modest. Please note 'nothing to write home about' doesn't feature :)
