Spring has definitely sprung these last few days, I love this time of year

What's the violet syrup for, sounds lovely?

Apparently you can add it to gin if you like the violet flavoured ones, but I don't drink spirits. I want to have a go at making chocolate covered violet creams with a crystallised violet on top. Mostly I've been sniffing it and smiling.

Just catching up.
All sounding good.
Well done on saying goodbye to a rotten tree. All your gardening stuff has me looking at mine (not actually doing) but acknowledging is a start...

Ooo - thanks for the inspiration. I have a bottle I bought back in what Foxgloves would call 'the spendy years' to make Xmas cocktails and I had no idea how to use it up. Violet creams for mothers day sounds ideal! :T

I've been using the Resolver tool for my PPI claims. Not been successful as yet with the CCs but tbh I didn't think I had PPI with them anyway - just making sure before the deadline hits. V. impressed with the tool though! Took all the hard work away in writing upteen letters!

It is an amazing resource :T. We've just escalated three claims to the ombudsman using it and it makes it so easy and simple :T. We would have found the process very intimidating otherwise.

Oh - the parma violet chocolates sound lush redo! I think you ought to make some as a Mother's Day gift to yourself!:D


Another sunny day here today though still a bit chilly. Hope you managed to get out into the garden.

In the immortal words of Granny Weatherwax, 'I aten't ded'

Long gap without an update, just been busy with work and little to report.

Limited progress with anything much as short on time. Some garden successes as seeds germinate, and some favourite plants recover from the slash and burn clearance. Too busy to cook much, so a lot of freezer food or fast salads consumed depending on the weather.

I have not bought anything for me since the boots, which is good. Had some credit on Bulb as a friend kindly signed up via my referral. Still waiting on my MSE cashback for my own transfer many months ago. Some tiny dribbles of cashback from Q but any 'free' money is good.

Glad things are going well .

Good to see you back

Well done on managing salads as well as freezer stuff. Sounds as if you're eating properly at least (unless you're just feeding other people ...)

Glad to see you posting again and to hear that the garden has kept you busy.
