Rose hun I know you are angry and upset at lots of things at the minute but you are in danger of hitting your own self destruct button by venting on here about family troubles that anger you. Take a bit of time out it isn't good for your own health all the stress you are putting on yourself. We all care so plese don't think that we don't.

:j:j well done on the book wem sheils :dance:
love the elephant :dance:

hi AprilLady, am inclined to agree with you re using lavender
for scent/ some medicinal uses,
have tried many times in the past using it in food
but must say i'm not very keen on it,
my big sis drinks lots of lavender tea!

(((hugs))) rose xx

Good morning all.

ff thank you so much for the lovely photo today its fab. Love the smell of lavender too. A lot of my plants are still at DD's and everytime I am there and think of bringing some back it seems to have been raining so I have not got them yet. Went out yesterday and got a lovely hanging basket for by the door though and have managed to get some new plants in too so should look more like home soon.

Managed to strip all the paper off the hall yesterday so going to paint the ceiling and doors today hopefully.

Off to DD's this evening as its her birthday and have keps some lovely spa products that I won earlier in the year for her. Will get some flowers to take as well.

Have a lovely day everyone and take care.

:hello: Good morning everyone

How lovely of your family rose to arrange for flowers
to be delivered to you yesterday and for your neighbour
to bring magazines. :A

Very well done on winning the curry kits and the
malt. :drool: :T

I fully understand your anger and upset, especially after
the dreadful news yesterday of the passing of Caroline
Aherne. RIP :A

Sadly many of us have been dealt a cruel blow by
losing loved ones to this ghastly disease (for whatever
reason). Life can be so unfair. :sad:

Take care xx

Well done sheils with your book win! :T

fire**fly - I lavender - it has such a beautiful
fragrance. I've got a lovely selection of lavender plants
in my garden but sadly some are going woody so new
plants will be replacing them.

Now ..... where's that naughty little rain bearing Inkling!?
:rotfl::rotfl:

Hahahaha - well - we ended up with weird weather
yesterday afternoon. A strange mix of sun then very
swift heavy showers of rain then sun again!!

Luckily I had finished all I had to do re gardening



by the end of the morning but alas - I had to
face the dreaded ironing :eek: due to strange squally
weather conditions!



Got my fingers 'n paws crossed for you April for a
lovely jubbly cash win to come your way! Not sure
I really fancy lavender flavoured food although I
do love the scent.

My dear old mum :A used to love all of Yardley's
lavender range and I still keep her tin of lavender
talc up in my bathroom cabinet - and it has kept
its wonderful scent after all these years! Every
time I smell lavender fragrance I fondly remember
my mum.

wingo - so pleased that your beautiful daughter
thoroughly enjoyed her school prom. :T Like sheils,
I googled panackelty too - had never heard of it
either. I love the sound of it but without the bully
beef!

Your visit to Charles Darwin's house sounds wonderful
leanfun - lol at all of you having a picnic in the car
cos of the rain! :dance: It took me back too when my
children were little!

Wishing your DD a very happy birthday sylv _party_ - she'll
love the flowers and the spa products.

Your flat sounds as if it's coming on a treat now! Love the
sound of the hanging basket and plants - but please .....
be careful if/when you are painting the ceiling! :eek::eek:

:hello: Hi to Becks, indie and anyone else who I've
missed.

Have a wonderful day all - take care - I'll pop by in
a while.

Alfie xxx

to your DD sylv x

your new home sounds like it's coming along lovely
with all your hard work :A
love the sound of the hanging basket by the door :dance:

Happy birthday to your DD Sylvia :bdaycake: Have a nice afternoon with family xx

I like lavender too fire**fly I like to put some in my wardrobe to make the clothes smell fresh. My dear old dad used to grow some in his garden (or something similar) and they smelled lovely

Hope you're feeling a bit better Rose xx Grief affects us in many ways

That's lovely Alfie keeping your mums old talc tin as a reminder of her :A Every so often I get a smell of dad around me so I know he's always there making sure I'm being a good girl!

Sheils, panackelty is a bit similar to corned beef hash but it's a traditional northeast/Yorkshire dish. My son loves it but I can't stand it! My mum always had a big pan of it on the oven so I was sick if the sight of it!

Hope you're well Becks I see we play your team as our first home match.

I've been awake most of night with a pain in my back. I was putting washing out at 5 o'clock and in the bath half five! Hopefully it's just a niggle and hope it's gone by tomorrow!

fire**fly

that's a great idea with hanging the lavender in
the wardrobes wingo :dance:
I do tie a couple of the bags on the rails inside them
but have just tied a couple of little bunches as well to add extra :dance:
hope your backache goes soon & it's not serious (((hugs)))
keep us posted x
