Good Afternoon, I d love to tell you of my predicament at the bootsale this morning but I'm afraid it would be tmi. Let s just say the moral of this tale is don t go to a bootsale the day after taking an ex lax small piece of choc.

Imagine me one end of the field to where my car was , running like hell to the sanctuary of my car with one bag in front of me and one at the back of me but failing miserably trying to hold on. Imagine the worst scenario possible and you d be right , and I had a dress on :eek: Poor Susie I didn t feel very sexy then I can tell you

That was a good game!:)

Despite me putting this on part way through:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44t3xc_XDes&feature=kp

I then discovered this little number of which I was previously unaware (code for 'I don't really like this song as, if I did, surely I would have heard it already':o:o).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WG5S2C3Qnk

I got a glitch (on a womble:D) from 3.20 this afternoon (vs M):

4 x Anchor Spreadable (500g)£13.00£8.00:T

Despite it, the difference on this was reduced by half due to them getting Dr Pepper and Sprite 2Ls comparing to much more expensive at M, also three packs of Kellogg's Frosted Wheats (500g) which compare £6.00 vs M at £8.37:(.

They also got this though:
2 x Weetabix Weetos Chocolatey (500g)£4.00£2.68
Vs M

So it ended with the APG on the Anchor being significantly reduced down:(:( - I only ever get something if they have a glitch:rotfl:. Would have given no voucher without the Anchor.

1 x Nestle Cheerios (600g)£1.94£3.19:(

Also I managed to look through the BBC News Channel, as latest obsession is going to there (on Internet whilst physical TV on the game itself) to see how long before they report each new goal etc. It seems their camera that normally pans across the newsroom isn't working today - it was like this on the News at One, with Chris Eakin:D, http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b045wm4v/bbc-weekend-news-15062014.

Now this - at 1820 (only available till about 2015) - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/bbcnews. Now that's where he stands when the BBC ONE bulletin has just finished:D:D (on right hand side of studio compartment (looks underneath "On Air" on the right on this shot)) - he seemed a bit fidgety though didn't he?:rotfl: Switch on to 1830 - and he's sitting down, oh, he just put his glasses down, audibly, and ... who's that walking up the stairs in the background?:):rotfl::rotfl: Great boon this 'real newsroom' background has been ever since it was (re-)introduced.:D:D:j:rotfl::rotfl: Great for those, like me, who get distracted without ever hearing about anything that's in the news.:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

That grass is a right pain in the bum to get rid of :mad:

Re growing, people at my allotments are growing globe artichokes.mi don't like them so won't be following suit. They are a huge plant considering what you get.

Another lady grows "exotics" (according to her plot neighbours) of squashes. There isn't a spare inch of visible soil on her plot. It's very busy but looks totally fab.

Today I've planted more tatoes, beetroot, cabbages and cauliflower. Yesterday I planted my grape vine, in the week will be dwarf beans that my mum has been doing for me.

Next year, I'll be moving my raspberry canes, redcurrants and blackcurrants.

We dont like artichokes either, my plan was to mass grow potatos and runner beans and sweet peas, but we've had so much on this year the allotment hasnt been high on our list, unfortunatly it came along abit soon we've been on the 10 year waiting list for 4 years, but if we had of said no I know they wouldnt of put us back on the list at all, we get a year of grace to sort it out, this expires in October :eek: ! The thing that irriates me is that they have split them in half which is fair enough, but the top one gets the shed and the bottom ones arent allowed sheds also when we got it we had the remains of built up boarders then when we next went half of them had gone and we were left with loads of rubbish rotten wood etc.

I get 3 months to get it "workable". I was on the list for 10 months. About a week after I signed fir this one, a full size one came up that hardly needed anything doing to it :mad:

Mine is a split plot and I've got the end with the shed and patio but I will have to share the shed with the new occupant of the bottom half.

We did take one loose plank off the bottom plot. But someone else thought it'd be nice to dump their rubbish on my plot :mad:

Maybe get some weed killer down so it looks like you're making the effort, then clear a small patch for growing. That way you still get something out of it

Bulk buying of Anchor is certainly not something I'd discourage my womblees from doing. Wish it had been the Cow & Gate Starter packs though.

I did see those, Sal, absolutely fantastic, well done!:T:T:T:j:D:D

That is the highest womble I'm aware of. The last I'd heard was a £24+ one from 2011, where a single Tommee Tippee product was responsible for the amount (Sainsbugs happened to have on half the price of Mr A). There may of course be higher ones that haven't been posted on the internet anywhere, but that £30+ - nearly betters my highest ever amount normal APG target shop.:T

Well I did a shop earlier today, of sorts, and found a non-grocery item I needed now cost £1.50 more as don't sell 'value' version anymore:(:( - so the wombles had better cover for that! They have, a bit, and Blackberries still working vs T.
