    :rotfl: brilliant. Will have to keep a look out for his tea next time I'm stateside :rotfl:
    He's Irish, they sold in my local Mr M's as we had a large Irish population. Red lemonade anyone? 52dd53ad8b105b302fe1cac57a21aab6.jpg

    Fab pics as always MWC :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

  • I've been naughty and bought a few plants for the garden... when I say a few, I mean
    48 :o And lots of salad/vegetable seedlings for the raised beds and some bulbs... :whistle:

    Now I just need to find the time to plant them all!

    Mr MWC started his new job yesterday :) I'm going to be home alone a lot for the next 6 weeks whilst he's training :(

    Whilst he's away I need to knuckle down and lose a few lbs by eating less cake & ice cream and exercising regularly. There are 11 weeks until our next holiday and I'd like to lose 10 lbs before we go (5 lbs to get back to where I was + another 5 lbs).

    September has been an expensive month - roll on October, only 3 days to pay day :T

  • It's so difficult to resist isn't it - I have bought some plants and bulbs too - just need time to plant them.

    Good luck with the weight loss.

    Looking forward to payday too...

    Take care.

  • We received our car breakdown renewal notice today. When I checked on line, it was £40+ more expensive than if I bought it online as a new customer :mad: We will, therefore, defect to their major competitor for £40 less than the lower price once TCB is taken into account :T

    £8.74 claimed from TCB :)

    At £25 on OP :)

  • What salad leaves did you get? I have some but I'm not sure I really like them. Salad is such a great thing to grow because it saves waste, is hard to mess up and is good value. Good work on price comparing your insurance.
    Mortgage started at £318,000 in June 2016. Original MF - 2041 :eek:

  • We're currently picking rocket, endive, radicchio and a red cos-type lettuce. For the autumn/winter, we will have more rocket & endive + giant red mustard, winter purslane, landcress, tatsoi, green mizuna, corn salad & lettuce (Arctic King & Winter Density) :)

    I've never been particularly successful growing salad leaves from seed so this year I bought seedlings from Rocket and I have been really impressed :T
