Ouch. Don't remind me about stickle bricks - my little brother had those and thought it was funny to leave them outside my bedroom door :mad::mad:

Oh, sounds like my brother lol. I grew up in a victorian house and had the attic room. It had a velux window, just behind our hose was a supermarket carpark. He used to hang my Bra's out the window. Funny now but not when you are a teen and people know where you live.:rotfl:

Hi elite,
my name is w******** and I am a shopoholic.

I have a question,
If I go shopping to sada and buy some shopping, including some chocs, am I doing anything illegal?
If i then put my receipt into the apg and get a voucher back, am I doing anything illegal?

Just asking as I did a shop about an hour ago and the sv reprinted my receipt and took it away with her.

thanks w

It would be illegal if sada had their way - they don't seem to like their APG machine and would rather it made them money :rotfl::rotfl:

as a pleasant change of tack...

anyone else's Viking 1p amaryllis growing again? mine has 3 18 inch leaves, but no flower. Not quite sure what I did right to make it grow again, and what I did wrong to make it have no flower (again!)

Is this of any help to you? Looks like the trick is to stop watering or feeding it.

Forcing an Existing Amaryllis Plant to Bloom for the Holidays

1. To force bloom for the winter holidays, cut back the flower stalk after blooming stops, but allow the foliage to grow. You can place your plant outdoors for summer, if you like, in partial shade.

2. Keep watered so the soil is moist, but not wet.

3. Stop feeding in August.

4. When it’s time to bring plants indoors, in September or October, move your Amaryllis to a cool (55 to 60 degrees F.), dry spot and stop watering it. The foliage will already be dying back. If you want your Amaryllis to bloom at a specific time, Thanksgiving or Christmas, count backwards about 10 - 12 weeks, to determine when to stop watering, and cross your fingers.

5. The lack of foliage and water will induce the amaryllis to send out another flower stalk. Resume watering at this time and move the plant to a warm, sunny spot. Leaves will follow shortly and then blooms.

6. When the flowers fade, start the process over.


Allowing Your Amaryllis to Re-bloom Naturally

1. To allow your Amaryllis to re-bloom naturally, cut off the flower stalk after blooming ceases, but let the foliage continue to grow as long as it can. Keep it in bright light, indoors or out.

2. Keep watered so the soil is moist, but not wet.

3. Stop feeding in August.

4. Bring indoors before frost and place in a cool spot in indirect, bright light.

5. The leaves will start to yellow and drop around December. Keep watering as usual and new flowers stalks should appear in a month or two. Resume feeding at this time and move the plant to a warm, sunny spot. Leaves will follow shortly and then blooms.

6. When the flowers fade, start the process over. Allowing the plant to bloom naturally will result in larger plants and flowers.

Me too. And not just cause of last night.

How's your tootsies doing ?

morning bananababe, tooties are doing well, i go to the hosp on the 21st to get my new toes. i went 3 weeks ago for the moulding and was then told it would take only 2 weeks to get the mould back!!! more like 5 weeks. i am very curious about what they will look like. i doubt very much they will look like "toes" but more like a chunk of silicone or something. i am also hoping very much that i will be able to wear flip flops in the summer.

last night i ran across the road bare footed to see a neighbour about some urgent news. he didnt know about my toes and kept looking at my foot. he apoligised and said he "something is wrong with your foot, but i dont know what it is" i then told him 2 toes have bee chopped off, he replied "oh yes i can see that now, you have said it". strange man indeed, how can you not see 2 toes missing?

David, just as a size guide, my Indesit IWC6165 tucks nicely undernearth my worktop and does not stick out at all, and I don't think it is particularly wide - if you look up the size of that you might have a reasonable guide.
