Maggie, you're here...would you like a turn?

You can look at the first posts of previous np threads, but how you start it is up to you...

Sounds good to me. We might get a picture of the garden or something.:j

I'd like that. I'd show the picture to my garden and tell it to stop messing about.

I might do an end of season walk round soon, herb garden is not yet finished, but it might do some before and almost after snaps on new thread.

I need to order another tonne of topsoil, and the soil in the beds I thought we'd filled has settled alarmingly, so the things I have planted in the central beds will probably need replanting .

We need to do some serious drainage work before I can start on the first bit of the back garden, and it might be wise to wait till after extension, but I think I could do it in two stages.


The furthest bit of back garden I'm gonna need serious soil for, and I am hoping some of that might come from the work for extension.....so no time soon!

I think I'd rather not do this one, very worn out after yesterday (long story!), need to crack on fast at old home, need to get to lottie, need to start sorting stuff here, plus off to London next week. Brain not functioning due to lack of sleep too. Maybe next time or time after?

GDB, I'm laughing at the idea of you showing your garden my photos! :rotfl: Garden is a mess at the mo, but too wet to mow the lawn, plus full of weeds. :eek: So not really a good example for your garden to live up to! :rotfl: We'll have more time to work on it when we've finished clearing old home.

Which reminds me, we went over to do some more stuff there yesterday as supposed to be having 2 viewings today (Agents are doing the viewings). Been there about half an hour and knock on door - one of the viewers got date wrong, and had turned up. :eek: So OH showed her round a bit, well mostly left her to it. She isn't procedable at the mo as is selling her apartment, though has interest from someone. We had the fire lit, so it was a bit cosy. OH heard back from agents about 10 minutes after she left to say that she's very keen but isn't able to make offer till she sells. She said she didn't mind that it was a mess, relative is a plasterer. Wish I had relatives like that!

Did you take photos a year ago?

Sometime not in high season, it was just grass ( and pears and roses, haven't looked to see exactly when, fair comparison to now though.

I don't believe nobody wants to do it!

What the hell is wrong with Britain. I'm away for 5 minutes and you lot start voting UKIP.

I mean I don't mind in the Euros. MEPs are just on a gravy train and it's a bit of a laugh but seriously, voting them to Westminster? What's wrong with you?

Having said that, we've got PUP. They get seats. !!!!!!.

DQWD. Got the Generalissimos' school photo today:

Cute kids . Hopefully we will get tje chance to meet up at xmas before we go away.

I think it is strange that although Aus is so similar to the uk you could look at that photo andediately think it was probably not two British students.

Has bugs started a thread yet?

Edit: on phone and missed dqwd originally. However if you can please leave up till this evening as DW would love to see.

Has PN hosted a thread? Sue?

Congrats to your DS Sue - great stuff!

Lovely photo Gen - I've got used to your baby avatar so seeing such grown up little ones (The Girl wasn't such a surprise as we've seen her).

Apols for everything I've missed.

More to the point, why would they do that? And who could possibly have the patience to go through 10000 posts?

Use the "search this thread" function, one specific username, keyword ... and go through keywords one might have used.
Takes a long time though, deleting one takes 3-4 minutes before the page refreshes.
