    Good morning, hope you are all well. If passing a B&Q today between 12 and 2pm they are giving everyone a free tomato plant. 10000 to give away.

    Good morning mrsmac :). Would just like to say what a wonderful thoughtful husband you have, I wish him well on his quest :T. I had a great Uncle who was in the RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corp) in WW1. I found out he died at sea probably bringing wounded home when they were bombed or blasted out of the water. No photos survive of him :(. What I would give for one to turn up. Thank him from me and I hope appreciative relations are found xx
    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.

    Good morning Elite :hello:

    Rather overcast this morning but it is still early. We're going out with DGC so need to be outdoors to amuse them :). They are only here until Monday and are seeing DS late mums family as well as us.

    DS3 and DGF plus 2 doggies are off camping today, will be home Monday, or earlier if dogs don't settle in a tent at night, or DGF feels to cold :cool: So no dog sitting this weekend but cat and fish sitting instead :D

    Hugs to the poorly Elite and those in low spirit , you're in my thoughts today xx

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

    Let's see how much you all know about retail pricing

    The mrs bought these 4 bananas today because "they're so cute and the girls will love them"

    My question to you all is, what did she pay?

    If it goes to a dangerously high level, it will just vent out through the safety valve. If you are concerned you could reduce the pressure by bleeding a radiator.



    You need a wrap/ stripe combi to start.
    Then use a hammer to release the candies by hitting the single icing at the top right of the left hand block. By getting this area going you can work top down. Since this is a 4 color level, you are bound to start cascades.

    At first I thought your last quote was to do with the boiler lol :eek:
