    Thanks Tilly

    6 items have bids now - up to the dizzy heights of £5.94 :rotfl:

    Trying not to think about how much I actually paid for these unworn items... never again will I buy clothes that are a bit tight but that I will slim into... :o

    No idea what you're talking about :D:o;).

    Glad ebay going well. I've just listed 3 things but after my high value phone and playbook it's back to normal cheap stuff :(.

    How's my girl :).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks Alchemilla

    Making time to garden is never a problem... making time to do housework is more so... :rotfl:

    Hi GG

    Miss LRH is very well :D It was funny to watch her dust bathe this afternoon - she was really going for it and nearly buried herself :rotfl:

    Other eggs just don't taste the same Ed. It's amazing how much difference a diet supplemented by spinach, lettuce, carrot peelings, mealworms, corn, sunflower seeds and the odd garden plant makes :D

    In order; yum, yum, ermmmm, YEUCH, yum, yum, ermmmm:p
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D
    C'mon nattypants:cool:

    Eggs IN 8 :T
    Eggs OUT 0

    Lamb chops, sweet potato wedges, roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine and spinach/watercress/rocket salad for dinner - delicious

    Oh dear, I appear to have bought some more plants :rotfl:but I have done it in a :money:-styley!

    It started with an e-mail from T&M offering me 6 x Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens' plug plants for 1p. Yes, please! Then I had the chance to add 5 x Begonia 'Inferno' jumbo plug plants + 5 packets of lucky dip flowers seeds (worth £10) for £3.99. Oh, go on then! The £4 was cancelled out by the use of a free £5 T&M gift voucher, so I only had to pay P&P :D
