Just quick thank you for the help on Sunday my Asda vouchers are in . I got just under £50 back from a £34 shop on the garnier glitch.

Thanks again.

I have loads of bunches of tiny grapes.

It was only 3 raspberries that were red and Mr TS ate them. :eek:

I have just come home with 7lbs of gooseberries off ONE plant (there are 4 more plants of similar size :eek:), 3lb of strawberries, a few blackcurrants and the smallest raspberries that have ever fallen into my mouth :rotfl: my grapevine has teeny tiny bunches on it, but it did last year too and came to nowt

If you grow grapes, as the bunches firm and get bigger you need to cut out the tiny grapes. This gives the others more space to fill out and get plumper. My grandad used to grow them many years ago

Off to have my meal, may see you later

The only reason I would move to virgin is the speed of the internet.. sky is better and so much cheaper. I have 55mb with sky and could have double that with VM.


When you have kids downloading stuff all the time you need fast internet. even with 55mbit they seem to drain it.

I only get 12 - 16mb with Sky and we've had no problems with 2 xbox one's a PS4 and a 360, all on multiplayer at the same time.

I am very envious of everyone's strawberries, I only picked our first ones today. I redid my strawberry beds last September and it's taken this long for them to catch up.

I've also got a wild alpine strawberry growing in the middle with tiny little fruits - very sweet

I will ask OH later, he knows which bits you should cut off end of each season or beginning of next. Ours is outside can't believe how well it looks we had some lovely bunches last year. Quite small compared to supermarket grapes but lovely flavour, skins a little tough but good fibre.

Thanks Tiny...I suspect its because I overgrow the leaves...but it does such a good job of hiding a pipe that we have.

The first year we had it there were quite good grapes but they came with the plant before I started training it differently.

They mostly use it for downloading films from applestore or Netflix. I think its more to do with the wireless but i'm hard wiring my house with network cable next weekend. Just waiting for the system from dabs. I expect that to solve the issue. network plugs don't seem to work in my house very good.


Then I can finally install my super duper alarm and cctv system.

Wow that' a good haul.

Think OH leaves them until they are really really ripe as he likes to eat them as they are. We do have loads.

I should explain, at the moment we have virgin broadband and that is fast and 4 of us using it on 2 devices each plus the iplayer on TV. So that has to stay.

Then we have sky TV, because the men won't let it go.

Then we have BT phone.....

So something needs to give. So I thought we could move the phone to virgin, but apparently Sky multiroom won't work with virgin phones.....

I ditched sky TV last year and haven't regretted it.
I have Samsung TV with all the on demands, hard drive to record and show box via tablet (HDMI). I upgraded to fibre optic and pay £5 for that and £16.41 line rental (grrrrr)
