Exciting times all round :j CTC sometimes the most outlandish ideas are the best. Creativity is important and then sheer determination and hard work plays a big part. Delighted to hear that your usual work sources are doing well, every penny brings you one step closer to life on the ranch

I have started collecting things to ebay/gumtree so hopefully should generate a few more pennies while clearing out the clutter

:mad::mad: im getting P'd off with some bayers attitude....

i sold a bag [cost £80] for £13 inc pp. it was made from real leather that was MADE in weathered leather originally. buyer says "its worn".... AND it has a hole in it....
i bl**dy well know it didnt have a hole !!
i asked [as she/he is a big seller] if she could show me pic of hole and then i could refund if i felt apt . they blanked me and went to the bay to complain ... so now ive GOT to refund ...

is it worth the hassle...:mad::mad:

Alfie.. since the bay has big advertising banners all over their pages, saying about guaranteed refunds ( or words to that effect) buyers are just taking the piddle out of it...:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I really want to clear a pile of stuff on e-bay but things like this are the last thing I need to be dealing with when preggers. Alfie you have my sympathy and I am irritated on your behalf!

Maggie Earwigs are scary :eek: could I get round the risk by soaking the heads in water for an hour?

The single dahlias don't suffer with earwigs, and come in gorgeous colours. It's the ones that look a bit like mop headed chrysanthemums that get very earwiggy. Or the ones that have petals that look a bit tubular.

I'm not convinced soaking the heads in water would help much, and is also likely to damage the flower heads. A quick swill around might help though?

Having said that, apparently hydrangeas are flowers that do actually absorb water through their flowers. When we were at the caravan in the summer I kept some hydrangea flowers going for about 3 weeks by soaking the whole stem and flower under water when they began to look a bit wilty. Also took off the bottom inch of stem too so if any of the stem was getting a bit blocked it could take up water again. Difficulty was keeping the whole stem and flower completely submerged under water - usually in a washing up bowl with jugs of water on top of the stems!

Dave You never cease to amaze me with your many talents and unlimited knowledge of all things

But I have just amply demonstrated my very limited knowledge of winter vegetables!

When you look at what other talents we have on this thread, mine look pretty ordinary. I won't embarrass people, but there's huge reservoir of knowledge represented here.:A

Like all good primary teachers, I used to know a little about a lot.:D What other job has you doing fractions and writing poetry in the morning, then testing model air raid shelters to destruction and singing in the afternoon? :eek:

Oh, and maybe a bit of Assembly thrown in:

"Once there was a farmer who sowed his seed, but because he was in too much of a hurry he didn't prepare properly, so some of it fell on stony ground....." Yeah, just like those assemblies!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
