    Dusty - spooky! Do you practice witchcraft? You can tell what kind of soil we have in the garden by the colour of the flowers.:rotfl:

    I do keep my gloves on until it is really warm which somebody told me was the sign of a witch. I also have a black cat and am prone to cackling. Must take the cauldron off the AGA it is bubbling over.

    Off to take a look and crack on then heroes at 9. Hope the second series isn't a dissapointment.
    TTFN
    Only realised yesterday that it was starting again, have set it to record so I can watch it with DH when he gets back tomorrow - he'll be fuming if I dare to watch it without him LOL
    I'm intrigued as to how this series will go, the sneak preview they gave at end of other series looks good though!

    Then about 4ish Ds2 who is 2 was playing in the living room when he came over to me crying and limping. I picked him up and looked at his foot, his sock was sliced open and his heel was pouring with blood. He's obsessed with Dr Who and has some magnets that he loves playing with. I gave him my message board thingy which has a magnetic side so he could stick them to it. He'd taken the plastic edging off and stood on the edge of this magnetic board which was now really sharp. He sliced his heel about 3 inches across:eek:
    So we had to take a trip to casualty to get it glued back together:rolleyes: . He can hardly walk on it and is not at all happy that his board is in the bin.

    :eek: Eek!! I am never having kids!! I can't cope with all that!!
    Hope it heals soon, poor little mite. glomp.gif

    :rotfl:

    That made me smile!

    Anyone else watching ch4? Bout the parents that make thier kids do kick boxing? Did you see the dad screaming at his girl to beat up the other! :eek:

    Dusty - I don't scare easily - I have children:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks for that, I'll have a look. I am very amateur, but things usually seem to work. The neighbours said last summer that the garden was looking nice. Mind you, that might be because we had trashed the trees that were here when we moved in. I forget the name now, but the ones that cause trouble everywhere as they grow so tall. We had 10 :eek: in our garden and it is small! You could see them on GoogleEarth.

    All we have done is used a stump grinder to remove the roots, rotavated, relaid the grass from seed, and put in lots of shrubs in the front. In the back we have been clearing and have half a patio. There was an awful lot of rubbish in the garden. The previous occupants seemed to bury the rubbish instead of binning it. There's a lovely apple tree in the middle of the back lawn, which my "gardener" came and trimmed for me about 2 months ago, but that's the only time I've seen him (in my garden) since he brought me back from hospital when my mum died last May (he's my brother's FIL). I'm hoping he's going to come back to finish the garden for us one day! (I was paying him to do it)

    oh oh forgot to post - lost 1.5 lbs this week :T
    Very chuffed as I had a pretty bad weekend food wise although I have been very good the past couple of days.

    Can I just say I have discovered vegetarian sushi YUMMY. My friend who losty tons of weight ate a lot of sushi so I thought I'd give it a try. Not very OS though.

    I am going to now post the league table, if you are on it and your entry is wrong let me know, I'm having trouble catching up from when I was away. Sorry if I put no update this week when you did update me, just PM me and I'll edit the table.

    Fissed as a part I am this evening. No idea why. I haven't drunk THAT much more than I would on a non school night (am at home tomorrow - Friday)

    But what I have drunk has gone straight to whatever brain cells I had left. So it's night night all...
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
