What are 'ransoms' please, KC?

Cheery_Daff

Ransoms are wild garlic i believe Very tasty and pretty white flowers too

Glad you're feeling better and able to do a bit of pottering

CBC, thats exactly what they are, what Cheery said.

I wonder, for the beta testing, whether *both* routes were used? Its the answer that makes the most sense? Maybe they didn't get enough volunteers and they asked long term members like beanie (possibly working alphabetically, as beanie and I joined in the same year, and "b" comes before "k" :kisses3:).

I couldn't resist, and bought some cow's milk cheese, to grate over pasta, and some tunnock's tea cakes :j:j:j total holiday splurge about £2.95 I know how to live large, me

Been thinking about this illness thing of mine - I think I've had it for even longer than I thought. Used to be that when I thought I was coming down with something, I'd keep going till I got ill, and it lasted a week or two or three. This year, the instant I think I've got something, I dose myself with healthy agents and take to my bed and so far its worked well :beer:

I'm not getting into an argument either, beanielou, and I'm very sorry if my earlier comments gave you cause to think that I was:o. I was just stating the facts as I knew them (the word according to Martin in his own posting about the testing).

Morning

I was up before the larks today, so I watched the tail end of sunrise - lovely colours, and a few straight bands of cloud that the sun rose through

Lots of blue sky right now, lots of phone calls (my sister's on a ferry to France! my business partner is as lazy as me ), the washing machine is finishing a cycle, the blackbird has had a bath in my big plant saucer and is picking up bits of dry stuff from my soil for its nest, and (deep breath) the free 3 days on kindle for the book I've been writing is going to begin tomorrow, Saturday 28th, so pick it up from there free if you'd like (and leave a review about my saintliness ). Seriously, 'twill be free from tomorrow, for 3 days http://www.amazon.co.uk/Getting-Home-Emergency-Jay-Whiteley-ebook/dp/B00UNLDFJ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427447563&sr=8-1&keywords=getting+home+in+an+emergency.

I've always loved writing, and I'm focussed on it now. No more mentions other than "I was working" from now on, as it will hopefully become a source of income.

So, today I'm finally getting into town for banking, that kind of stuff. And I've more or less finished tidying and catching up on washing :j though now, of course, how filthy everything is stands out even more

There's still ongoing stuff to catch up on - pruning hedges, cutting brambles, more washing, that cleaning :eek: house maintenance, but I'm starting to feel my way clear to more balance again :j

Cheery_Daff

Oooh, well done on your book! :j :j So excited for you! :j :j Off to have a sneaky peek Don't have a kindle but I do now have a kindle app thingy so I can read ebooks on the laptop so hopefully that will work!

Karmacat

It should do, Cheery, thats what I had for ages.

I'm terrified about doing this, by the way!



ETA - pension contribution going off today to my pension scheme ... I'll add the tax allowance to my sig when its confirmed, but meanwhile the interest from the easy access savings account has been sig-added, £138.44 net.

Cheery_Daff

I can well imagine you're terrified, I certainly would be, putting something I'd written out there like that! :eek: I think you're very brave I imagine it'll be easier with your next book
