The Compers Inn (part 46)

sheils6

Morning all.


Sun shining here although not that warm yet.
Bought some perennials and border plants yesterday and some growmore so might plant the perennials today. Trying to make an effort! No rain forecast though and hose has sprung a few leaks (typical)


Used to do buzz agent and Orchard Jedi but got bored with them. Sometimes they are OK.


Have a lucky day all. Not much time left for a May win.

AprilLady sorry to hear your troubles with eBay. Hope your weekend goes quickly for you at work. Good luck with comps.

I've just been doing a few comps instead of getting on in house etc and came across this - one for the gardeners

Thanks leanfun - just been reading it.




April it must be really annoying having to refund Ebay .
We bought an expensive get well card and posted it first class to BIL in hospital and it never appeared.
Brought me in mind of a friend who is a courier. He was accused of not delivering a parcel. He went into the couple's bin and found the empty wrapping!

Morning, lovely warm sunny day here. Got washing on line so that should be dry soon. Not up to a lot over the bank holiday. I am working a long day sunday, but nothing else planned. I hope you all have a lucky day.

Thanks leanfun for the link :A some great tips there
particularly No. 6 Bring out your blooms with bananas.
It just goes to show you are never too old to learn!
I hadn't realized that banana skins could be buried straight
into the ground and also the banana peels could be soaked
in water for a couple of days to help create a growth
water solution!

I have a banana every morning as part of my breakfast
so always have plenty of skins to use up! I'll definitely be
'going bananas' now! :j :dance:

Well done on the tea wins Firefly and leanfun!
Dull here today so not planning to go out, but I've managed to get some housework and comping done! Also trying to sort out an ebay problem as the person said the item I sent never arrived. Grr. Just hope Royal Mail will refund me when I send the claim form! Getting fed up with ebay - too many fees for everything, which means you don't get much profit if you're selling small things! And then of course I'll probably be out of pocket with this refund, and the whole idea of selling things is because I'm so skint!
Anyway, rant over! Let's all hope for some good end of the month wins!

Sorry to hear about your problems re ebay April and that you
had to refund in the end. I never use ebay but my daughter
does - and she finds them a bit of a pain sometimes!
Hope works goes ok this weekend.

Crikes sheils, that's not very good about your BILs Get Well
card never arriving and just plain awful about the courier
friend accused of not delivering a parcel and him finding
the empty wrapping in the couple's bin! :eek:

Have a lovely afternoon all, take care.

Wow just came in from another break from clearing the front garden and found a WEM. I've won tickets to Boodles Tennis on 21st June!

I've sent Laks a PM. Tickets for this start at £64 each and it's smart dress.

Gardeners pleased you found tips useful.

Congrats Leanfun, what a lovely win! :T

(Oh my gosh I've just realised I've been repeatedly typing Leahfun... my eyesight is getting worse! Apologies :heart2:)

Thanks everyone. Really chuffed about win.

Inkling I'm on an iPad and it keeps changing everything for me so no worries I know how you feel.

Feeling tired but happy now having cleared some of the front jungle. Postie can now walk down path and if it rains will get past the hypericum without having a shower.

Sending DH for fish and chips soon.
