    Just been looking at East Ruston garden.

    It looks lovely.

    I enjoy looking round gardens. There's a scheme called the National Gardens Scheme (NGS) which lists gardens that's open for charity. There are small and large gardens listed.

    I too have box ball.

    Oh, hang on a mo. I have a box. And a ball. A ball in a box, even. Does that count?
    I have a box :j.
    I haven't any balls :(

    Its 11.30 at night, I hope my neighbours couldn't hear me laughing as I read that conversation :rotfl:

    I'm glad you like East Ruston, MWC, Goldie :)

  • Miss LRH is a dirty stopout!

    There were only 8 chickens when I opened the walk-in run this morning :eek: I eventually found Miss LRH in the next door neighbour's garden :naughty:

    Mr MWC assures me that he counted 9 chooks in the coop this evening :)

    Eggs IN 5
    Eggs OUT 12 (2 boxes sold for £2.75)

    I wore my new dress to work today and felt fabulous :T The blurb on the M&S website is right "There's nothing more glamorous than a figure-hugging dress. Sophisticated and confident, this dress instils a little more oomph into your smart wardrobe. Paisley is a great way to inject a print into your outfit."

    And this evening I've been for a neck/shoulder/back deep tissue massage. Ouch it was painful but I feel better now that lots of knots have been popped :T

    Nice dress. Clearly Miss LRH likes a touch of nightlife too :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
