    Oh dear TM you've got a big job on your hands there :eek:

    I read somewhere years ago about growing mint and the different varieties. They revkomended to grow in pots which I did. My chives are also potted and I've had enough to use as garnishes every year. Now and again I give it a very short cut but they grow so quickly back again. :)
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Afternoon all

    I've just got back from doing a boot sale.Shared a pitch with my sister.

    Shifted the last of the s&g's and a load of junk.Very hot now.

    I tried the chicken casserole(look what we found)last night.

    Not bad for 43p reduced but no way worth £1.69.

    All my mint is in the ground have lots of different types. Si are my chives and lemon balm , i love that they take over and smell nice when you brush against them. And they help keep weeds down. And safe for grandkids who love picking smelly leaves. X

    Afternoon Peeps.


    Just reading that Lowcostholidays have collapsed, leaving thousands out of pocket, so sad for everyone, it's a company we have used about 6 times in the past years, yet another company gone!

    1x Quorn 8 Meat Free Sausages (336G) £1.90 £1.00
    1x Kerrygold Salted Butter (250G) £1.60 £1.00

    Wasn't there something recently A vs M where u got 4 of the £1.90 quorn stuff for £6 but it compared at full price? Might work getting 4 packets of Quorn sausages vs T?
