    And sorry to hear that you need your friendly bucket again. Sounds like the pesky bugs didn't really do away but just hid well until they got bored. Hope you get properly well soon. Want some lavender to sniff? :D

    So glad the chooks don't like eating them though, will plant another one up there next year I think, when I've saved up to buy another one!

    Habi, I'm sure I saw one in Morrison's a couple of weeks ago for just a couple of quid. It was one of the smaller plants they do that have pictures of the flowers on cardboard & the whole thing is covered in plastic film. I bought one of their pyracanthas like this last year & it's going great guns, probably at least tripled in size this year.

    Sorry to hear about the vomity day yesterday, hope you're feeling better today.

    Is May holding back because so many compliments were heaped on Bessie and she's jealous of the good-looking one?

    :wave:

    Well, you offer a distinct possibility there A*M, it's possible that May's decided to mimic Diva-esque behaviour. Still, I'm sure the newbies will put pay to that (23 days to go)! x

    Thanks for kind thoughts and well-wishes everyone, I think the vom-fests are hormone-head related (yes, I'm that delightful age) but yesterday's preventative action (including early night) managed to stave off the migraine end of things.

    Feeling significantly more normal (relative term) today, so fingers crossed ~ lovely to take a lunch break moment on here and find so many visitors, very kind of you. Might make that my simple pleasure today, unless baby sparrows pip you guys to that one!

    Thanks P*P ... will have to pass that on to Mr. Hbbb, M is his go-to shop for his petrol and paper on Saturdays so may give him a little pocket money to spend on my behalf. Ok it's a slight diversion from putting my NSD £1s in sealed pot for Xmas, but will happily eat less chocolate at Christmas if I can have a bit of extra passion in the garden now (as it were)! :rotfl:

    Passion in the garden??? Good lord woman, that would give me a headache :rotfl:
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
