    Forgot to ask in my earlier post - how easy is it to grow rhubarb & will it grow in a clay based soil? My DH & I love rhubarb but it is soooo expensive
    From the amount of effort i took to kill a rhubarb plant i should say dead easy..

    Csarina, whatever has been said, has been with love and concern.. you have to believe that and if your going to have a rant then so am i.

    I am nothing, i'm his wife, their Mother, the dogs' master and chief looker afterer.... Do i feel valued? No. Do i feel wanted? Yes but for all the wrong reasons.

    There that feels better.

    Morning lovelies et bonjour MrsSD ! I knew my school girl French would come in handy one day but I didn't think it would take 60 odd years :D.
    We have sun too :shhh:. I'll say it quietly as I don't want to frighten it away just yet.
    I have put a load of washing out and the plasterer has arrived at last. Nice man but ex army and as he and Mr Fix It are discussing things military, I have decamped to the bedroom again !
    I have had another flare up of my arthritis and am short of breath, sure signs that I am stressed to high heaven :(. I have realised that my problem is that I don't like strangers ( workmen ) in my home, consequently I am not sleeping well, nor eating healthily. I am also snacking on biscuits ( a lot ) but I need to lose weight, not pile it on :mad:. Anyway when the plasterer has done his bit there will only be the trim to go around the patio doors and the end can't come soon enough :j. Part of me wishes it wasn't started :( although I keep telling myself it will look nice when it's finished.
    Apologies for moaning.
    Later I shall put the lounge back together with Mr Fix It's help and chase the dust around............again :(. It seems to move from one room to another and back :rotfl:.
    Dad is also coming to tea today, so we are having fish and chips with mushy peas ( no chips for me ) and Mr Fix It will have a sausage roll and chips. Pudding will be banana splits should the boys fancy one. ( I may have a very, very small portion, baby steps and all that ;) !)
    JackieO hope your arm gets better soon.
    Csarina sending extra hugs to you. Hope your DH is ok after his fall.
    Judi I love a bit of Crackling Rosie and some of Barrie M, just need some Neil Sedaka to finish off and I'm set for the day :rotfl:
    ScarlettR enjoy your time in the 'van, as the kids say I'm well jel :D
    TA keep thinking positive thoughts ( although it hasn't helped me much :rotfl:)
    Hope everyone can enjoy the sunshine today. Take care and hugs to those who need or want them.
    Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently

    Hester, never stop posting :) This is the ideal place to moan & whinge - it is always best to get these things off your chest :rotfl: & everyone is so friendly & sees things differently so that you might read something that makes you smile or guffaw with laughter :rotfl: Sunshine & laughter are both great tonics to life’s grind :):):)

    Morning everyone
    I'm moaning too cos I'm in bed with a sicky bug feeling awful. A child was sick all over me earlier in the week so it was inevitable really. So a day off work but I'd rather feel well. Hopefully I may feel a bit better later and can sit outside for a little while.
    Having lots of problems with youngest DD (19)at the moment which is causing me lots of stress too.
    Never mind....at least the sun is shining!

    No... get back your a$s back here. I thought about joining the Garden Fence thread but thought better of it.
