The land of the eternal stripey list returns.

In exciting money news

Paid all expenses money to cc where it came from
Paid the rent early as away when it's due

(also paid it early as I thought, yay I'm rich (well, you know what I mean) and wanted o pay more off the cc, guess what with the rent out, not rich anymore and I didn't have anything left to pay to the cc!

I never learn.

I am hoping you will be my gardener when you move down !!! I think you are coming to near me, so put me top of your client list.

Hey whizzing nice to see you. Great name!

I'm happy to help with any gardening related stuff anytime on here if I can

Not much good at virtual digging..........

We're looking in the 'Kingdom'............when seafood and sandy beaches abound.

Borage - nice and tough for here - i'm growing most things at work so that's for work - its pretty and quite good at self seeding so I'm going to dot lots about the place, great for wildlife too

Great to hear you're working on a blog ............:T so looking forward to that.
I'm in the process of getting my new one (more 'scotland' than here and more gardeny than much else I hope) up and going and mulling something more frugal and cooking. Or sticking to some kind of actual routine.

I hope you're OK munching all that bread...........at least you'll be rid of it soon!:D

I'm looking forward to going away - never been to the Scottish Parliment before :T and really grateful for a free trip as its so expensive to go from here.

After that its a frenzy of meeting chums, eating and walking in nice scenery with more trees than here!

Which will be lovely - I'm meeting the university manchild too :A

All's well, don't worry got a lot of work on today (for me!) so I'm going to post up the blog tomorrow. Thats excellent that you're going to the Parliament! I had a tour round the Reichstag when it was still in Bonn one year, really interesting. Have a great time

Dear universe.

I've now got a temporarily boogered hard drive.

I know I've sent some of you guys on here electronic copies of my vegetable gardening handouts from my classes.

Oh booger You sent me the bere, and the little silicon scrapers :beer: :kisses3: but I don't think I ever had any documents from you, Pippi, sorry hope somebody has them.

:grouphug: have a dodgy hug :coffee: and a mug of what you fancy.

I've done my first round of seed planting! But realised I don't have an actual watering "can" for indoors - I'll be off to the pound shop tomorrow, always a good excuse. I'm useless at seed planting, but I'm following the directions for step by step what to do on the gardener's world website, we'll see how it goes (except for using a watering can with a fine rose, obviously :rotfl:).

In other news ... now that the horrible multilayered *lumps* of ivy right outside the kitchen door are gone, the quince there has gone crazy, and sent out dozens of flowers. Better check on the maintenance, because there's no way it'll have that many quinces on!

Hope it all goes well for you, Pippi, take care.

Hey KC thanks - I love quince - such a pretty flower.

I'm glad you're good - overpaying the cc - nearly did it again and left myself short - but I AM learning.

Indoor watering cans we just made some on the womble work site......

How about something recycled like......

A juice bottle just with holes punched through the cap, very useful

Or a milk carton.....

Or even this nifty attachment which looks uber cool

Most folks are amazed I make it through the day unscathed, I'm more clumsy and awkward than much else :-) but very kind thank you sbwifie

Just in from a busy class (no one died of boredom) - and they even paid (the charity not me) having half hour on the sofa before I get into packing mode,

Ferry tomorrow at lunchtime and a loooooooong drive.

Exciting though.

Dd supplied upto the hilt, she'll be fine :-)
