Nice People Thread Number 11 - A Treasury of Nice People

Yes Lydia, the strawberries are in amongst a rockery (& a LOT of weeds).
There's small fruits already on the plant.
I haven't had a proper detailed look. Cleared around it a bit. Will do so more this evening or tomorrow evening.

There's still boxes here mate! & is a home ever "finished"? I doubt it. Remember I don't have the responsibilities you have either. Indeed, I'm a good for nothing who needs to fill the vast amount of free time available.

Perhaps the domesticated god might drop by one day to give you a hand/encouragement

The first thing I did when we had moved in was to go to Homebase, buy a drill bit and some picture hooks and stick up our only piece of "art" on the wall, just because we could! We got given it at Christmas. Not something I would ever have thought about buying but it is growing on me!

Nice fireplace, too.

I think DW and her brother will be clearing out mother-in-law's house in July. That means that we will have a whole house full of used articles to get rid of. Are any of the nice people interested? Otherwise, it will go to the charity shop.

That's the trouble with the Internet.... we're not geographically "just around the corner" to see

Handy for Xmas: cards, tinsel or baubles.

I know nothing of painkillers/drugs.... it's only in the last 2-3 years that I've needed to buy/own painkillers at all! I've got the 20p packets from some random supermarket. Probably used 4 tablets this year (2x2).

I pay 36p for 24 from a local shop, although I use a lot more than you do, although not really in the last 6 months.

Chewy, is that a clock? If so, where can I by one? I like it

Congrats on the move chewy. :T:T:T:T:T:T

I am increasingly frustrated by the new google maps. e.g. I just typed a postcode into it, wanting a marker to show up on the map where that is ... and it doesn't. The postcode exists.... if I then choose "directions" to force it to put a marker in, with a 2nd marker and showing me the route.... it doesn't. It shows me the distance, I can preview the route between the two places, but the map still shows me the whole of the UK, no markers.....

It's annoying.
