    Valli you made me laugh
    Welcome back daisy
    Dusty - ouch! If it any consolation I was digging up the blasted itchy blue stuff (starts with an S, tiny blue forget me not flowers, monster roots tip of my tongue.....)

    I have done all of my ironing. *smug*
    Need to mop the floor.



    I think I mean Comfrey. Which doesn't start with an S. Confusing myself now.

    I googled it and it is comfrey - couple of foot tall with thick roots that go down for what feels like miles. Itchy as sin,between that and the equally loathed conifers I need to find some anti histermines before I go to bed.

    We have speedwell in the 'lawn' too. And lots of self seeded violets, moss and prickles, very little actual grass - vague plans to weed and seed this month.

    Valli I laughed too. (I'm on the vino).

    DS3's birthday today. We went to the Leyt0n 0rient kids party today and the kids had such a good time. It's one of the benefits supporting a league 1 club. The first team players all turned up and were happy to pose for photos.

    DH's habits have evadeded my judgement. I'm enjoying the golf.

    Dusty I hope you are feeling better. Sorry to read about your FIL. I'm not surprised the BD is lurking. You know here to find me if you want to offload.

    How odd, I was just googling how to make a roman blind :D

    <slaps own hand> STOP DOING STUFF.

    Comfrey is supposed to be excellent fertiliser, can be made into a "tea" I believe, to water plants with...

    Well I'm just bushed, I've had a mega busy week with decorating etc, so need a simple week I think. So I'll see you all on the new thread, back to normality. Whatever that is.
