Okay, I admit defeat. I am boring people. I have picked up that, while I do have a number of people as a fanbase, I have made myself unpopular recently. I have noticed a dip in the number of 'thanks' specifically on my posts compared to the posts around them.

I could go into the reasons as to why this has happened. However I have decided not to do so, not least to spare you all of it, but that I fear it will never been fully understood.

I am therefore not bothering to do so. I feel my general point about the 'discounters' comes across in my last post, so I have I now decided not to provide the examples and explain it. Normal folks just find it boring:rotfl::o. Unfortunately, for all the useful information I provide, I will remain destined to be unutilised and doubted by many people who could otherwise have greatly benefited.

I am not fully sure why I have posted this post, although this last paragraph itself can never be explained because it would only cause more upset and [truncated and not even written at all as it will as it doubtless offend some people and therefore will remain destined to be misunderstood].

Cheer up Savvy.I do read your posts.Don't understand them sometimes.It is not worth me shopping at discount stores because I have so many wombles to use.Also locality comes into
where I shop.I'm only a short distance from Sada but miles away from other shops and I'm not getting my car out to save a few pence.It would cost more in petrol.
Don't forget not so many people are on line during the daytime so you wont get so many thanks. Long post from me.Most unusual .Must be catching it from you:D

Hello Savvy, believe me when I say you are much appreciated, and that all the hard work you do is very valued. Just because I don't push the 'Thanks button' every time I read one of your posts, doesn't mean you are undervalued. It just seems a bit meaningless and pointless (to me) to push this button all the time. Some people press it every time, using like a page-marker, some never. It means different things to different people and you can't use it as a measure of how popular/boring what you do for us all is being rated. I am sorry if you see this as a slight - that was never intended. You sound a bit snarly today, taking offence when none is intended, rather like me earlier when I was really hungry! You aren't trying the 5:2 diet as well are you?? Lots of friendly appreciative hugs winging their way to you. XX

♥ Savvy B - I admit I do not read or thank most of your posts regarding shopping comparisons, as they are not relevant to me.
I only have a Ts near me as I'm stuck in the heart of Wales

But I do read & thank your other personal posts & especially when you are partaking in 'naughty night shift'

I've just been out to look at my tomato plants. I thought I was going to lose at least two of them after the fox dug them up, but I put them back in the grow bag, firmed them down, watered them and left them alone. They are now perking up, about 10 days later. It looks like they are all going to survive

And now my tomato seedlings are developing good sets of second leaves so might have to pop them in the ground somewhere in a couple of weeks.

I think I must have green fingers, because I also cut three bits of rosemary and popped those into wet earth. Two of them have taken and I was told by a gardener friend that they NEVER take without hormone rooting powder! Must tell her that they do!
