    I've been Money Tipped!
    With all your painting requirements + lots of storage spaces, I'd have opted for a spray machine.

    I'm using a spray machine.:D. Its still not that fun! The spray bit is actually not light for me :o and the bending to refil every few minutes is a bout of a pain. I feel brilliant this evening. I mean...,y ankles and feet are swollen and my knees are swollen and locked, and my back hurts and my arms and shoulders are groaning at avpctuallyvhaving done something different, but I feel useful and alive.

    Much better than passing DH stuff and holding tools.

    Plus, this morning the village shop of divided popularity was selling veg for three pounds a bag....any veg of choice, so we got a huge bag of things like artichokes and patty pan, and exciting things...the kind of stuff one usually has a veg plot to grow because its the stuff you cannot buy, or buy cheaply, in supermarkets.

    As I know I can eat courgettes and we were talking about marrows and I have wanted one since I got a marrow to stuff. Much to my horror we have no lamb mince in the freezer so I am going to try beef mince in it, which all seems very radical to me.

    I also got patty pan to fill through the week :D.

    And artichokes, lots and lots of artichokes, I cannot have them in butter but no reason the others cannot. DH loves artichokes.

    Just ordered this 250GB SSD at £47.90. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EPFKL0A/ref=nosim

    What are the chances of my order being cancelled?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    No idea what you think its real value is (assuming you're saying this because that's a cheap price)

    "Usually dispatched within 2-5 weeks" I'd say quite high.

    Anyone know about Power of Attorneys?

    If the declared PoA wants to pass on the role to someone else, can they do so. Particularly when the incapacitated is umm incapacitated?

    Quiet, well-kept roundabouts are always a good source for last-minute flowers

    ;)

    Pretty rare to find well kept roundabouts ATM though, isn't it?

    Ours are mainly being moved to trees now, which I prefer, though it can make it a bit of a surprise when you think its clear but actually someone coming from the otherside is really whizzy.
