    Quick jump in and out just to say I'm rushing off to do my shift at the coffee shop. Hopefully, will get back here this evening :D

    DS3 is popping round for dinner so it will be after that I think.

    Have a good day one and all!

    Thank you! They are one of my favourites too. It would help if I could sell a few pots during the winter months. I can always paint more if necessary.

    My phone has died :mad: dead, zilch, nada, nothing not a spark:mad:

    It was fine earlier, now it's not. I'm nowhere near a mobile phone shop tomorrow either :mad: I will have to try and find the time to make a special journey into town.

    I can't believe how much I rely on the silly thing. Even to get me up in the morning :o

    I hope it's just the battery....

    Oh and it's raining heavily, I hope it doesn't put paid to my gardening tomorrow.

    It's all so annoying. It's no wonder I've poured myself a glass of wine. If I had chocolate in the house I'd eat that too!

  • Poo to dead phones. And Poo to the weather too, I hope it brightens up as I will become desolate.

    I hope your ebay picks up. Mine is going rather slowly at the moment.

    My phone is fixed - hurrah :j It had frozen and because it had a completely dead screen I couldn't tell. The very kind guru did not laugh at me, sorted it out and recharged it for me. No cost :T

    However, I did have to make an unplanned trip to town and cut my gardening back, meaning I'll have to try and fit it all in Saturday.

    The stray cat is still hanging around, it now calls for food - cheeky :rotfl: It's very skinny and ragged. I put some food out in a bowl on the path for it, incidentally I have named it Sooty. When horror of horrors the eating machine named Colin appeared. I fully expected a fight or at the least for him to see the stray off, but he didn't. He just sat and watched it eat. Then came indoors and whinged for his second breakfast. The stray is getting braver but still won't let me near it, if I go out it moves to a safe distance, but the distance is getting shorter.

    Today is the long shift with the hellcow :( meaning I will be extra tired this evening.

    I think it's free listing again this weekend, I might stick another type of chicken pot and a gecko pot on. Not that the others have sold, but it won't cost me anything to list. I've cut the postage back to £5 through being able to use the courier company. Unfortunately, I can't take it down anymore as the pots are not paper light and the boxes and bubblewrap cost too. Only time will tell if this is going to work.

    The roses are coming into bloom they look and smell amazing. I wish the sun would reappear so I could sit out there and enjoy them.
