    I made a vegetable curry tonight, made entirely from homemade veg :j

    We've been eating runner beans now for about a month! Longest so far has been 18 inches. Bringing home bags full almost daily!

    Rhubarb is going mad so it's going in the brewing bucket this weekend :D

    You can bring me over a few bottles of rhubarb wine then. Barby at mine. :D

    I've added some more to my last post again (my more recent one than last time), going into dictionaries and lexicographers and everything else now:rotfl::rotfl:. That's enough - it's an interest that, on these things, isn't upsetting me.

    Are the Gastro fish still stubbornly stuck at 2 for £5? Does anyone know when that 'offer' is due to end?

    That infernal offer in my view - almost makes you want to swear:rotfl::rotfl:. In fact it... ..... it.... I'll do it away from here, it's okay:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    I just have the urge! I think I've created a new compound swearword in the process:rotfl:. It's just infuriating (though not to personal offence level) and frustrating, how long that darned thing (and that's all, sadly:D, that is "appropriate" for this thread) has been at that price. Right...launching into a stream of delightful invective now btw.

    :rotfl::rotfl: I'm here on my own at home, as you know:D.

    Oh, gosh, air is not blue, it's purple!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::)

    EDIT: I need a much longer session. Really love it. Be back maybe when I've finished, in, oh, twenty minutes?:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl: Twenty minutes of non-stop effs and jeffs:D. Ah dear, :rotfl:I shall have some disapproving person's morality offended by me even saying something in my own home away from them.:rotfl::T Well, good cos I don't, er, care:p:rotfl:.

    Yes, I guess it does! I am truly grateful for the blessings of family, it's just it gets really disorientating sometimes when something starts off looking short and simple, then you find yourself propelled through 7 hours, almost without realising! :D

    Di, think your original pic was removed so couldn't quote it. I love your tanned legs and the fab toe nail varnish, beaut colour

    So they were nicer than mine:o

    Just reading up on Stanley Boy....I nearly mentioned a fox bite this morning but didn't want to panic you.......it seems an unusual injury for a cat on cat fight:o

    I'm sick to the back teeth of the sight of strawberries! The final count was a few grams short of 20lbs :eek:there are a load in the freezer but stupidly, I didn't weigh them before they went in.

    :

    You could leave one of the beds and just let the strawberries drop....then you would get loads of runners and probably pick 100lbs next year:rotfl:

    How much yogurt is 30 Yeokens? There's only me eats it.

    It depends HG, think a big 500ml tub of yoghurt is 10 yeokens, 1l milk is 5. If you log on under the yeokens page there is a link to click to see what each product is worth. It's shame the yeo valley butter isn't on the list as we get through loads of that.

    Should be cool enough to sleep, hopefully. No getting up for tea and biscuits at 2am like last night. :D

    The milk is often whoopsied....4 pints 10 Yeokens ..and the large tubs of yoghurt are 10 too.

    I've just ordered one and it entitles you to tea and cake for 2 for £6.50 which is a bargain really.....the cakes alone are normally £2-£3
    Email came through straight away. Valued until March 17

    Nice for our trips to Newcastle when JL vouchers run out

    Thanks TS:T

    Good afternoon, wishing Stanley boy a speedy recovery, worse than kids having furry babies:A

    Thank you. Yes, agree totally with that :)
    Hope Stanley Boy has a successful operation.
    DDs cat was hit by a car 4 years ago and had multiple ops by a specialist vet. Healed vey well but did have to be confined to a large dog crate for a while so she rested properly.

    There was sun earlier but cold wind and now we have a hazy cloudy sky just like sea mist is going to come in. Stupid French doors kept blowing shut and I have nothing to prop them open with so had to shut them.
    Strangely it was not that humid last night.

    Back still playing up but each day is better than last. No painkillers left in house so waiting for mum to drop some in later.
    Main problem now is tingling is running all the way down to operated foot.

    Off to catch up

    V x

    Same here re crate, hopefully rest and he will be back to normal.

    Hope your painkillers got dropped of OK and your back eases for you VT

    Hope Stanley got through op ok :A I had a little dog that was mugged by a cat, the cat was bigger than him, bless him. Ending up with luxating patella, and an op for that. Then his other knee kept popping out too soon after, so another op. They only had to move the groove 2 mm as Billy was only likkle ♥

    Oh bless him, so tiny
