Sylv- almost kills me trying to move it from top to bottom! I guess it's not turned over as it has a pillow top construction.

companion planting & it worked very well :j

Hi all!!

LOL ff - you beat me to it again you wee devil :rotfl::rotfl: Was just going to say about companion planting - I still do it and my mum and dad used to plant certain flowers/plants inbetween veggies to keep wee beasties away etc. Great the critters loved the suet!!! Will get some next week - sounds like they went down a treat.!!

Need to also get meself a new mattress and yep, I was taught years back to turn the mattress every so often - bit of an effort now tho :eek::eek:

My kids and families have the memory mattresses + whatever comes with them and they love them and when they come here to stay errrm I think they find my mattresses a challenge!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Sheils, your meal sounds wonderful - would love it but ........ would pass on the steak. :D:eek:

You have all been so busy!!! Have had a day off today, just pottering around, recharging the batteries.

Hugs - Alf xxxx

I stayed in a hotel in Ostend and the beds were dire. Chicken wire type with a thin mattress - like kipping on a razor wire!


Meow was a dirty stop out last night as I didn't want to play the silly open n close door all night!


AB: Did you win on the Euro! :rotfl: Tomatoes and Marigolds I think is good.


Have a TB and Lotto in play for tonight :eek:


Film time! Xxx

iluvcats/alfie - memory foam mattresses are very heavy. We have to lift it by the handles and slide it onto the bottom board just to put the bottom sheet on. Don't think I could do it on my own as my hands are not the best. But still love it.

Thanks so much for that info firefly it makes very interesting reading. Never realised there was an actual name for it just do it out of necessity really but its the first time I have tried it. I just put them in anywhere there was a space . We find broccoli grows well in our soil and love the leaves as well.

Sister has gone to the New Forrest for two weeks and says its been 23 deg today. Sounds like she is having a good time. They have took the caravan.

Saw this one and thought it was good.

How the rich live!


!

Thats us!
Had a lovely meal - wouldn't like to pay for it in a fancy restaurant though as it was expensive enough just for the ingredients! DS3 doing really well and should be fully qualified by August. If he had his paper work up to date it would have been sooner. He was only 17 in May so really proud of him. All his long hours will have paid off. He is expecting a big pay rise then. Some of the best meals we have had have been cooked by our sons. Two of them are chefs but one is an accountant but he worked in hotels to see himself through Uni.
Having a Tassimo Coffee now and DH having a liqueur too.

Good luck with lottery those who have tickets!

Hope everyone is well. I won no competitions this week, not even on goodreads (just as well as I have over 15 books to read and I'm currently winning a bid on ebay for a bookshelf!).

I had a nice relaxing day today ahead of 6 working days in a row but tomorrow is graduation day and Thursday and Friday are open days so I won't be in the office all week which is always nice. I like working at the graduation as I like to say well done and goodbye to the students after an average of 6 years at university.

Going to watch some Glastonbury on TV tonight, all the performances will be online after the festival which is good as there are some less well known acts that I like that won't be on the TV.
