    Yep real life stinks sometimes :( But at least you can hang on to the positive things you have. Thats what will keep you going :) You and your DH must be emotionally drained after all you've been through....maybe even a bit run down? Illness always seems to strike when you're drained and run down. Have another Whisky :D

    Hear hear :T:T

    I think we just need a break from it all. Still waiting for next appt letter to arrive though :cool: You're right, we are both run down. My immune system is going to be rubbish for a while too and it's only to be expected that DH will be poorly from time to time.
    I'm ahead of you on the whisky front :p Now DH is feeling better I just got him to pour me another :D

    :rotfl: He was interested. Was soon off playing with it on my BILs car to reset the airbag warning light. Sure he's got a few code readers already but apparently this one does extra stuff :o

    I planted some sunflower seeds last weekend. Nothing to see yet though, just a dozen pots of compost :cool: :rotfl:
    Get on it tomorrow DM :D

    Can he come and turn my '1 tyre pressure sensor missing' warning off....it drives me nuts :rotfl::rotfl:. I didn't even know you could buy such a thing :o

    Your sunflowers are at the same stage as mine :cool:

    We've got cucamelons on the go, and eucalyptus too so they can go in there. Be glad to get my house back to normal, instead of looking like a garden centre!

    What trees do you have? I've got dwarf morello cherry, Braeburn apple, Granny Smith and apricot. They're all in big pots because we only rent our house. I got the trees and the pots for just over £40 :)


    i am very lucky and have a small orchard of over 40 trees we have apples, pears, plums greengage, peach, apricot, fig, walnut, cobnut and medlar, and cherries we also have orange,lemon and lime trees in pots that will over winter in greenhouse, we picked our first lemon:rotfl: a while ago

    much cleaner than mine it has had that white stuff painted on and it does not seem that easy to get of, anyone got any suggestions please

    I'm not sure what that white stuff is on a greenhouse :o but have you ever tried 'magic erasers'?
    They're those white spongy things (I get mine from savers @ 59p for 2) and they take pen and crayon off my fridge, scuff marks off my walls and bath and I also used them for removing dirty marks and dried old emulsion off my glossed door frames.
    Might be worth a try but depends on what the white stuff on the glass is (I'm not green fingered so have no idea :( )

    Yes! Are they bigger than snap ant's by any chance ;):p The competition is for the tallest so they should all count

    I would join in but we're not growing any this year.
    A couple of years back DD came back with some from brownies and we planted them in the ground. The biggest one ended up 12ft high and had nearly 20 heads!
    I'd never seen a sunflower with more than one head so it was really freaky :rotfl:

    the white stuff is what you paint on to give extra shade think it was put on a long time ago and never cleaned of never heard of the white spongy things but will look for some for the house they sound good thanks
