Random question. I know it varies from area to area, but can you put dead flowers in the food waste collection bins? My council's websites doesn't say yes or no.

Morning All,
Jackieo...my bit of kent is grey, wet & windy fortunately all washing up to date & will just change our bed tomorrow instead of today.
Am in bed with lappy as had a really bad night last night, not just restless legs but restless everything :eek: ended up having a warm bath & a sleepimg tab at half one, woke up at 4 fighting my way out of a nightmare & gave up trying after that. I have hoever in my head, rearranged the bedroom furniture & menu planned for the week :cool:
Hea too foggy to remember names but I hope that Eyeore turns up I still remember the desolation of DD2 when after a period of home leave we returned to NI only to find that her Loubylou doll was still ay my mum's in Gosport :eek: it was a very long & sleepless 5 days before she arrived in the post & order was restored
OS wise, DP hashoovered & mopped downstairs & put DW on & dinner will be something hm from the freezer.
Hope everyone has the weekend they've been looking forward to x
Hugs & spoons for those that need them x inclufing furries x

DS once lost his Franklin bear, I think I was more upset than DS :eek: Call me stupid but it felt like we'd lost a member of the family thankfully boy and bear were reunited after it was found in local supermarket. Sadly now DS and Franklin have gone their separate ways he doesn't like him because he has black eyes (his latest stress is all things black, apart from black pencils) :cool:
Hope Eeyore turns up BB xx

i think we would be upset too hubby brought it for him the day he was born and he has slept with it everynight since. we even named it the other name we had for ds before he was born he has 6 others in different sizes but none replace the special one

ETA i sound really sad that we've named his monkey :rotfl:

Hello All

Been organised for me for a Saturday, DH has gone back so time for major tidy, done

, WM finished and clothes on airer, DW finished, kids to empty. Apart from that will be expensive day here. Its one of my very dear friends birthday (she is not happy about it lets just say its starts with 5 and ends in 0!!). We have been through a lot together in past 20 years including miscarriages and marriage break ups, so as she didnt want a fuss we have decided to go to cinema then out for a meal with our respective teenagers who are more like cousins as have been together since birth. Cost aside we are really looking forward to it,

Plus I saved by shopping at Ald! again this week, cant believe the bargain prices on some of the stuff, though think price scanned wrong on pack of lady things with strings 49p??? Says they are as good as leading brand. So far have had no complaints about anything I have bought from there.

Well must dash need to round kids up and do 14 mile journey to meet up with friend.

Thoughts to all who need them.

Just about setting off for Leicester where we (our church choir) are singing the services at the cathedral tomorrow. Looking forward to a night away from home!

Popped in again to update myself on what is going on.

Oh! Poor Eyeore, I bet he's missing his friend. I do hope they are re-united soon. Do you know the children's book 'Dogger'? I used to read it to the littlies at school and could tell that a lot of them understood exactly how Dogger's owner felt when he went missing. We had a little boy who had an old rag book called 'Green boogy', only by the time he got to school it was more a torn grey rag than a green book and the traumas we went through when it went AWOL! I believe he is something eminent in the city these days.:rotfl:

Well, I drifted aimlessly about with a feather duster this morning and scooted around the middles of rooms with the vacuum. That's downstairs done. We'll draw a veil over upstairs, no-one but us sees that. Then I made a bread pudding with some LO bread from the breakfasts. That will be one pudding for tomorrow night, and later I will make a Lemon Love Cake, recipe for which I found on the School Meals thread.

FB. I've had the same question about dead flowers. Personally mine go on the compost but I would be wary of putting it in the food bin. I don't know what they do with it, if it is like during the war and they use it for animal feed I can't think of an animal that would enjoy tulip stems. Perhaps it would be safer to put it into Household waste. I'm sure if it's wrong the Refuse Gestapo will soon let you know.:D

Bossymoo. Keep going petal, and don't forget that we are all here for you..

OK. That's enough for now.

Thanks monnagran. I'll put them in with rubbish this time (it goes Monday am) but will email council to ask for future. I will eventually have a compost area in garden once holiday and uni stuff is over with but that won't be til May probably!!

Done another 1000 words and made some graphs. Hoping to get another 1000 done before stopping tonight.

OS update - HM soup for lunch, washing drying on radiators due to rain

I'm sure you all heard the huge sigh of relief when eyeore showed his face....He was in the boot . Spike must have put him down the back of his seat IYKWIM. Still he's safe and sound now.

Have been to the library, lidl's and home again.....my mind is going over and over what things we can do to make a bit of cash (no i'm not sending DH down the services for the night :rotfl:). So i've just added onto my cookery column for March that we are selling eggs, when the better wheather comes a table shall be put out with eggs on and jars of pickled ones and chutneys (i'm yet to make;)have picked up a crochet book in the library on making real nappy covers (random i know but they are cute)....and the big one.....DH wanted a couple of ducks (for his b'day)so we're gonna be getting 2 ducks and a drake in a couple of weeks (and sell the eggs)

Right off to chill :cool:
