    Bless, I just went up to see what she was up to and she has put herself to bed! Fast asleep, poor little mite.
    DS is munching away on smelly socks and underwear crips (aka-cheese and onion) and im just going to have another cuppa and MAYBE some chocolate...

    Louise-next time you have heartburn, try a dessert spoon of malt vinegar-strange I know but it works-when I was pregnant, I read it on an altenative threapy site and thought 'well, i cant get worse' so gave ita shot! Lo and behold, it works!

    Off to try carpet cleaning now-should be quite exciting to see all the filthy water-or am I the only one who finds that exciting??

    I've never heard the vinegar heartburn remedy Bunny. I'll give it a try next time I'm suffering. Cant taste any worse than that horrible aniseed gloop you can buy. A glass of milk sometimes works ;)

    Well, it will be bleach next if that doesn't work. It certainly is war!

    Stupid thing, it made the knife blade snap and then I couldn't find the top of the blade!!! Here's where I remember my tetanus isn't up to date!!!

    hhhm, it's started raining. Just in time for the big pile of salt to be soaked into the roots...............mwah, mwah, mwah.........

    What makes it difficult is that I was trying to do it whilst balancing - that part of the driveway is about 45 degrees and trying to keep my balance and give it an 'I'll show you, that's for making the knife snap and cut me' stamp with my foot was quite hard! :rotfl:

    Don't worry about that. You can only do your best, and all the worry in the world is not going to make them less lazy.

    Thanks:kisses3:

    Afternoon all.

    I've done a little bit of work and am having a mini-break now! OK, I'm sciving!!!

    Salt kills all things in the garden - except weeds!!! Good luck with the revenge on the pampas Keren.

    Wayne's just gone to the shop to buy me some chocolate! so I'm off to munch.

    Enjoy the rest of your Easter break everyone.

    God it's cold up here but no rain so all good - there were a few drops of snow though so not sure if there will be more later. Just been to park with DS so relaxing with a chunky kit kat here too but not peanut flavour spud. Only eating it to be polite as DS offered me it out of his trawl...
