Best wellyboot forward. Pips frugal edible garden adventures.

Pippilongstocking

isn't it

we do our eggs in the microwave - put about an inch of boiling water in the bottom of a jug/container crack in two eggs micro for 2 mins at 70% they're always perfect and just enough time to make the toast.

Your pasta sounds yummy.

I've just added up my work hours for March [insert blue shreeky face}

I'm rich I tell you, rich.

Aside those two pesky cost centres (kids) and the other one (car).

Cheerful chookies laid 2 eggs today - clever lasses.

I have them extra lettuce.

Just doing up a garden design for a chum for all year round colour. Which is not as easy as I often hope.

Swapping this for waste wood, its all good in the land of garden barter.

Cheery credit card now showing at under 2K woo hoo. Payments take forever to go through.

Pippilongstocking

Woop garden just paid me and gave me my expenses.

302.50
90.70

does a happy dance and transfers some money to the expenses card.

Ok so my hours are diminishing but its my choice.

I need to remember that. I don't work there full time. I have another job.

I don't need to work there full time - I must remind myself of that.

Just cos I'm awake doesn't mean I should be working.



You see I am learning.


4.5 hours logged for wombledombles today.

'Just because I'm awake doesn't mean I should be working' Yes, that

Good work on the expenses and pay though And clever girls indeed! Must try microwave poached eggs tomorrow! :j

Just make sure the eggs are covered in water - I didn't once wow was that an explosion.
As long as they're totally covered its fine it would seem.

Just finished proof reading DS methodology - I'm getting all nostalgic.

No really, I don't' want to do another phd.

rtandon27

In reverse order...

(I think?)

Boo - missed all the natter today!!!!! - lol - you two are mighty entertaining even in catch up mode!

Dr Pips - one PHd is enough smartypantsness for anybody!:D

Ummm - flying flowers is so brilliant it's already taken:p:p

OH says that new tax year does not start until April 6th so pay on April 1st is th 15-16 tax year.

...and took Mom to the Big Smoke today (travelled during rush hour) - she's mighty happy to be back in rural englandshire this evening (insert evil cackle here) - we did 6 miles too - steps for day well covered!

Cheery_Daff

Ooh, well done RT

:eek: to exploding eggs, bet that made a right old mess! :eek: my mum once exploded the dinner when she first got married by trying to cook in a casserole dish on the gas hob. Kitchen was a right old mess (marriage disn't last long either, although I'm not sure that had anything to do with the casserole!) :rotfl:

*makes note to self that this marriage will not last long if I try and use a casserole as a pot.*

RT you are wicked re the big smoke but a change is always good to see things we'd not normally see eh. I really love Londdinium. Which is odd cos I'm such a bumpkin.

And I only said I was *missing it all* didn't look at new phds last night [whistles not me].

Thank you for the cheery advice re all the other questions and I knew about flying flowers.

escaping edibles maybe?



Kettles on and its time for a wee catch up.

I hope you're all good and dandy the sun is trying its best here.

Washing machine is on and I am going to Bless This House this morning. Really that should be a tv show. Oh wait it was

Cheery_Daff

Morning My washing is sat in a basket on the kitchen floor - not made it as far as the machine yet Got sidetracked by second breakfast :$ :rotfl:

Oooh, more PhD malarkey? What fun!

Rainy McRainathon here today. Planned an afternoon in the garden but perhaps not!

Pippilongstocking

Beautiful here been out for a sneaky lunch here

And in true pippi style I've taken the shells home to make stock.

Washing made it out of the machine (miracle here Cheery) and to the line outside. Chickens are guarding it.

Second load on and time for a wee potter in the garden. I even did the indoor mowing and some tidying up.

DS finds these 15 minute bursts quite entertaining.

Mutts had a nice scamp on the coastal path.

Cheery_Daff

Ooh, coastal path sounds jolly

I'm fine with taking washing out of the machine - that seems to be the bit I can manage. It's putting it in in the first place that gets me, and putting it away :rotfl: Tends to just sit on the airer until we gradually use it up and never makes it back into a drawer :rotfl:

My second load is on too First load was just white shirts and the net curtain out of the living room, which I just hung straight back up wet :rotfl: Been knitting and watching Victorian Farm but now it's stopped raining so I'm off out to plant the plants I bought the other day and put all my pots back after I moved them for the window blokes
