    I read something today which struck a bit of a chord...have a plan for life, but don't rely on it too much...have had a mull over that one:D

    Hi BOB and all..what a nice positive diary.Well done on the Amazon sales and good luck with E-bay...It's so true that whatever you need to know about that you'll always find the answers on here.
    Great news re: your marriage and Mr BOB having his own LB moment as it always helps when you are both on board xx

    Thanks. I felt like i was banging my head against a brick wall at one point, and digging Mr. B out along with the spuds...Honestly!:rotfl:
    Any way he used to wonder why i was on here a lot, so i let him read and showed him some of the great diaries and positivity from here. I then started on the freebie board, looked at other folk in similar positions..read a variety of opinions and i suppose as i started to get more positive about his/our situation so did he. We have been lucky so far in that we had a bit of cash to help, and that we are willing to do what it takes.
    I know that if everything goes belly up tomorrow, then i have the strength and resource to deal with it.:D

    I am being very philosophical this afternoon... Am off to figure out turbo lister thingy x

    Can't keep up with you bob but loving the positive diary! And container vegetables... brillant - this is what I need! We have room for putting stuff in the ground but like bunny our garden is a wilderness and the dogs make vegetables in the back rather hazardous! But in pots would be great - what can you grow??

    I feel a new plan hatching.... ;)

    wel ive gotta say im:eek:
    i have now finished reading your diary and i was just so shocked
    all this talk of the garden and the veggies particularly the turnip
    i thought 'theyve all got a garden fetish'
    so i was going to post the correct term for that type of fetish and say im disgraced you are all this(inserted fetish title)

    but you know what
    there is not a name for you lot
    i searched wiki and google and something a bit :eek: too
    but nope
    you have bred a new one
    i am shocked

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    I am not bossy I just have better ideas:p

    If you want to hatch a plot, then i reckon it is time to get in touch with R!!!, he is a wizard with hens. I am dying to know how they are getting on but i keep missing his posts. If you look on the greenfingered thread, one of my fav snooping holes, then there is a 'show us your plot thread' You would be surprised at what you can grow to save some money.

    One of my old dogs..a springer spaniel was a monkey when it came to digging up one veg attempt i had many moons ago. He loved carrots, i thought it was a rabbit at first.:rotfl: :rotfl:
