More questions :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: starting to sound like pam
All those photos and chat about gardens has made me think ours is pretty bare, pesky dogs :eek:
So I need planters/hanging baskets or something along those lines to keep them above the dogs.
So whats the advice and where from remember I am tight :rotfl:

poundland, B&M , home bargains for the baskets and hangers -they sometimes have plants too, local garden centres, B&Q, tosco asda for half dead specimens for half price or less that you can nurture back to life

On superscrimpers they raked their lawn for moss to line them (I'm assuming this depends on your lawn as I've never raked a lawn in my life :rotfl:)

Click on the number - top right of the post.

That opens a new window just containing that post.

You can copy the link using the world-link icon above the reply box. (typing and then highlighting the words you want to use for the link first if you want to be really neat).

Personally I would cut and paste.

but that just gives me a link or am I doing something wrong I knew about that.
I want the quote stamps feet and storms off to garden centres

Plenty of moss but if I raked it I would then need grass

Many thanks for all your good wishes but bad news I am sorry to day, Mam didn't make it through the night My sister was sitting with her and Mam passed away peacefully just after 3am. My sister stayed while they changed Mam into a nice fresh nightdress and tidied her up and then rang her hubbie to drive her home. As we said, Mam is out of any suffering now and is at peace

At 93, Mam has had a good innings considering the fact that she has been in and out of hospital most of her life. She was born 5th Sept 1919, the smaller of twins. At less than 2lb weight, she survived whereas her bigger brother died at birth. So she was a fighter from the start it seems. She had TB when 16 or 18 and has always had a very weak chest, which she passed on to my sister and I in our asthma. I can always remember her having to go into hospital regularly over the years for her asthma. Later she developed angina too, and she had very bad arthritis with her hands and feet badly twisted and painful. But there you are, she got to 93 and it was only in the last 4 or 5 years that the dementia got to her and she was only diagnosed with altziemers 3 1/2 years ago, so she was able to see and enjoy her great-granddaughters grow up to age 7 & 11. And she did so love to see them :j Greatest loss was the death of her only grandson when he was only 21, knocked down and killed by a train, 18 years ago next week, so she doted on her only granddaughter, and, as I said, her two girls. The joy of her life and what kept her going, we think. They will miss her dreadfully and it will be hard as they lost their other great-grandma 15 months ago to cancer, their Uncle Alan Mr 3Dogs last year and now this, poor girls, but they now understand the cycle of life and death

I will take it easy today, have lunch here as Andy is doing a lovely roast beef dinner (free DTD beef from Tosco of course) and drive home later, about tea-time. Then drive up North tomorrow. I know there is no rush now, but my sister needs me and I will be there for her, and my brother too

Sorry to hear your news 3Dogs x

Console your self with the fact that she was loved and cherished right to the end and is now without pain and at rest x

I seem to remember that there was a post here that the local council tips keep some good gardening items for recycling and then also:) try your own online recycling group.
