    Forgot to mention stunning cream orchid in a pot for Mothering Sunday.


    Plants are called 'kill it's' in the Wish house, but we keep our orchid in the bathroom, never needs watering and it's survived for nearly three years on steam treatment.

    Today though, £40 to dogsitter, £100 for new gate after ponyplops bellyflopped on it.

    Gave me the mental image of those old Thelwell pony cartoons - you know the ones, take off too early, take off too late etc? This is how I now picture you and Ponyplops A!

    Love your lovely doggy! Think my collie who likes a lap might jostle for the position of largest lapdog though!
