Lovely to see you back Pippi Glad you had a good time away - definitely money well spent

stings now but we did keep the spends to a minimum and himself always takes the lions share.

Hello again and glad you had a good break, sounds as though it was needed. It's been quiet around here though without you.


Now a little bird whispered something about it being your birthday?


Hope you have a wonderful day and since I know you don't like cake, hope you have plenty of cheese


Why can I never add any of the smiley face things? Wishing you lots of happy times anyway.

:T:j:D:rotfl::A

I added some for you and thank you so much! x

Hey thank you chaps for all the kind wishes and birthday happiness.

The day was cold but lovely and I had a nice journey on a train with birthday loot.

Lunch was lovely and Mr Me also took me out for tea.

I stopped by HBase on the way home to find they'd reduced all their baby tomatoes to 50p each worth a neb, looks like they got loads in early.

They're well grown and worth the dosh so I got £9 worth that's the baby bush tomatoes sorted then

Mr M also has some great looking perennials in for £1

Mr Al has its summer bedding in which is quite good value at 1.79 for a tray full but just caw canny at putting them out yet. Its a bit brrish still.

Lots of veg in trays in DIY stores too, likely they'll end up reduced Mr B&Q had lots of reductions all ready on things like beans etc looking like they've over ordered.

Bonne chance my litte amigos.

I've really got to sort out the seeds today, write an invoice and pop by gardening work who want to 'formalise' our arrangement - dunno what that means.

Also got a call last night about a garden nearby small and needs someone so I'llr ing again

And an invite for a cuppa and a car load of plants from a lady I worked with at peak snowdrop time all good.

Happy planting folks.

Must cut the kale and the grass for the chooks.

Hungry monkeys that they are.



First though a bit of work meeting by phone.

Hi Pippi :hello:

We just got some nice veg plants from that DIY store last weekend. All reduced. Some looked a bit pathetic but once repotted and watered they are doing really well

We all love a few reduced plants don't we!

glad you got some bargains.

I must now get my seeds out and start sowing some stuff. The local green group has a seedling giveaway today, for a donation, might pop there too.
