    Happy birthday iamsohappy :bdaycake:


    Have decided to weed the strawberry patch in the garden and once again this year we have more plants than we seem to have room for (they don't half like to run riot!) so have decided to 'convince' people they need some plants :D
    Unfortunately Bubbs seems to be immune to my charms :p
    I can't complain though, we bought 7 plants for a couple of quid 3 years ago, the second year they'd turned into about 30 and last year we gave 50 away and were left with about the same.
    This time of year I never need to buy strawberrys, we're in for a bumper crop this year :j

    Yum yum :D for some reason I am terrible at growing strawberries :eek: I don't know why but I think we managed about 10 strawberries off 8 plants :rotfl::rotfl:

    so pleased for him, its good that he wants to do something to make a difference, :T
    my nephew did similar for a year had to raise nearly £5000 :eek: but he mananged it. .we will have to find plenty of glitchy items for him to sell/ raffle at events x
    my nephew loved it so much he came back for a while and then went straight back to work

    Well done to your nephew :)

    I have just looked in the paper and have booked him a space for a car boot on Sunday ..I thought he could do a tombola with all those bargain bits I have bought that I probably have no need for and will be a good starting point for him :)

    Sorry to bore you all with my life:o:rotfl: but I'm really excited for my son:D we have been waiting for a few weeks for a letter to arrive and it came today with the news he wanted :D

    He has been given the opportunity to go to morocco in 2016 and help build a school and orphanage..there were so many people wanting to do it they did a selection process and the letter came today to say he's going :D
    The hard part now is he has to fundraise £1750 by himself to go :eek:

    He has loads of ideas so I'm sure he will be fine :)

    :j:j:j Well done for your son :T:T:T
