I applied for a research grant to do my PHD. that funds my study and the research results will hopefully be useful. The grant is being funded by the MOD into the health and legal rights of injured ex servicemen...it's a subject that is ' up for grabs' as far as research goes

I submitted a convincing thesis and I got the funding:)

Well if anyone could

We are obviously well synchronised now David. :rotfl:

No need of beauty sleep. :happylove

Good day thank you my wine has been dispatched. :j A nice rioja for £2.65 crate of 6 plus delivery. Have 24 bottles arriving over 2 orders. :beer:

I must apologise for not letting you all in on it but I did come back and no one except a total stranger was here and I did not want lurkers/trolls getting the details first if it came back in stock. But as I said earlier no sign of the wine this morning, page just getting the 404 error.

I was hoping this was a nice white...or some bubbles. I don't drink red

I thought I could at least rely on my OH to ride shotgun but it seems that finding the bargains is too much like hard work....different matter altogether though when it comes to consuming them:rotfl::rotfl:

At this rate I may even have to call on David. to help but no doubt he'll just wander off to explore the bin bag aisle:rotfl::rotfl:

Yes the beer and wine go down well, as do the whoopsied steaks etc. It is shame the wine being delivered is red I don't touch the stuff, I am a white/rose lady.

Whilst I'm thinking about it Dave here is a site that might be of interest to you and others for growing seeds of not so common varieties:

http://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/

In my younger gardening days when I had a complete garden to fill I enjoyed growing some oddball things that you don't see in garden centres. I've grown a few trees from seed and some of the faster growing ones ended up on my log stash for the fire:D Still got a much admired Australian Mountain Ash in the garden which is now about 30ft high....evergreen with very white flaking bark.

Don't know whether they still offer them but you could buy seeds of things like the tumbleweed that you see in Westerns. Used to laugh at their description of " ....a very obliging plant that after flowering, dies, uproots itself and disappears into next doors garden...."

It's been ok thanks claire, so glad mum was not home earlier, I was just getting her back into bed and she was sick and it was all I could do to hold her up. It took 3 of us to sort her out, I just can't begin to imagine how I would have coped at home. Her pain has been much more controlled today, she is asking for more pain relief readily now, think she realises she should not hold out for it to just become uncontrollable.

I so relate to your story

my dad moved in with me once he knew he was terminal, he didn't want to die in hospital . his pain was unbearable and I couldn't cope. then OH got injured in afghan 3 weeks before my dad died. OH was in hospital in London, dad had to go into a hospice:( I still had kids to Look after, trying to travel between London, hospice and look after kids. It was horrible :-(
