Sorry I'm not Tilly! The old wives tale goes that garlic should be planted when the clocks change - so you can fit in two planting sessions a year! I just plant in the month when the clocks change and that seems to work fine!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0 -

Thanks MRN for your reply :T. So I should be planting the garlic by the end of next month. This will be my first attempt at growing garlic.Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

Thanks Tilly, for your tip about broad beans. Will try to find some seeds/beans on sale.
Pay has hit my bank account. So, have made an OP of the designated £2K :j I am taking a break from fleabay, as my last sale of £19.99 has not been paid and I had to open a 'unpaid item' case and it hasn't been resolved yet. On top of that, no response from the bidder in spite of repeated prods.
I have now registered with preloved following MRN's advice. I have lots of books to sell. I used to sell them on GM, but lately with the postage increase, I am making only pennies. So, I haven't bothered with them. Might as well give them away to CS.

Good Morning
Past two days were NSDs. Today, I am planning to get the M@S dine-in and also pick up some bits and pieces from MrT so that I can use some MOCs that are expiring on 30th Sept. I have come within the grocery budget this month, so that is a good thing. If only, the petrol prices went lower, I can optimise on my fuel budget too!
Have a good day, everyone!Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

My morning has been quite productive so far - decluttered a bit and cooked some stuff. Hope next weekend is FLW on fleabay so that I list some. So far, made around £10 on fleabay. No NSD yesterday and today. Yesterday I went and bought the M@S dine in and some YS bargains. Today I have bought 3 clematis plants from V@n Meuwen. I saw a duo pear tree over there, but then the discount code had expired yesterday.

Today I managed to get a few MrT magazines which have coupons for laundry in the middle. Of interest is a £1 off Lenor voucher. In some stores, there is a £1 version available making it free. Even otherwise, there are some variants (21 washes) for £1.50 making the cost only 50p. Most of the coupons have a long validity until Feb 2013. I am hoping there will be promotions for these items any time in between. So, be on the lookout for the magazines, folks.Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74
