    dusty - yes, I think it's too late to start garlic this year. I haven't grown it before, but I think you either plant it in the autumn, or in the early spring.
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    Hello all, mind if I mooch over for a bit.

    Well last week I got rid of tons of stuff, including a welsh dresser, clothes hanger thingy, 2 hoovers, huge trunk full of books, 2 sofa's, 3/4 boxes bags rammed full of useless things and some of my Tesco stuff. Also huge van load to the dump.

    As most of it was stashed, the house looks no different.:rolleyes:

    So we march onwards as chritsian soldiers or summat like that.;)

    Despite, work, rain and general malaise I intend to continue my efforts to unearth the house beneath the [STRIKE]!!!!!pile[/STRIKE] stuff.:D

    Sooo my sink will shine mebbe but I will endeavour to give that list a good go.

    Wish me luck.....I'm going in.

    Hiya Pigpen, howdy neighbour, hope your week is going well.

    Disclaimer-I am not cliquey however I've recently discovered that Pigpen lives not too far from moi so have a little message for her, thats all, love everyone, 'cept narrow minded people and the parking warden who gave me a ticket the other day.

    pigpen - I've never taken a supplement, but used to try and reduce the amount I had to do the week before, and also nibbled carbohydrates (these can be ryvita rather than chocolate biscuits). I realise that the first may not be achievable. Does ebay still have that silly rule about not auctioning off children??

    I barely eat as it is!!

    and the children are in the wheelie bin.. hubby is in the recycling!

    Special thanks to pigpen and hex this evening for making me chuckle. Having a bit of a tough time this week, well it started this afternoon really (not sure why just then!) It will be 2 years on Friday since DH died :( I think I need to keep busy so that is tomorrow sorted as I am going on a school trip with A to Eden Camp North of York all day tomorrow. I will be shepherding 4 kids about (one of which will be A) which will keep me busy, 1, 2, 3, 4......... 1, 2, 3, 4........... lol
