Bit dull and dreich for gardening today!!!! OH is getting on with the grouting on the tiles in my NEW kitchen. It was hell being without my kitchen sink, no oven and cooker. I washed the dishes in the Bath, made my toast in the D.Room, boiled the kettle in the Hall and at one point boiled spuds in the garage. It will all be wonderful soon, once all the tiles are up.

Mum gave me a dying scene this morning. I went in and she was almost lying flat on the chair with her eyes closed. I asked if she was OK but she didnt reply. I continued to chatter, no reply. I thought oh heck she has had a stroke. I went into her kitchen with some shopping and said, I couldn't get your eclairs and she replied in a feeble voice, OH I need my eclairs. She don't half put the wind up me but because this sort of thing happens daily I try very hard to ignore it. Not easy. ??? ???

Thanks Lish. Have been catching up on all the posts written over the past 10days on A4A. Blimey I knew was rough when I couldn't even get enthusiastic about A4A.
Many thanks to my friends who have kept me going with their emails and wishes. However Lish I am on the mend... managed 158 on the peak flow meter this morning!!!!! Had a good laugh over the posts by you and KP. (found your meter yet KP?)
I am fed up with being a horizontal champ, can't wait to get in the greenhouse.
Lorna.

have been out in the drizzle fixing a fleece cloche over the radishes which seemed to have disappeared by half .... b. slugs ! so now they're pop bottled cloched found more things growing in the strawberry bed, could be onions ::)

chopped down a bit of box hedge so i can get behind the greenhouse to put an extra vent in on that side. washed MORE milk bottle pots (I swear they breed when i'm not looking). am generally having a tidy so that the garden looks less like a junk yard and more like a plot.

oh and had a battle with a rose arch that i wanted to go round the side gate for sweet peas to grow up. without exception all the screw washers that are supposed t be fixed into the ends of the cross bars popped out and the curved bit at the top just wouldn't fit. it's now in bits on the deck ! ::)

right, f*g finished. back out i go.

it's amazing what you can find to do out there even when there's nothing to do. think i might sow some leeks in a mo !

;D

p.s. will have a look when i get back in and dry off Lorna ;)

well, we've just been given the news that our daughter's expecting, all trying not to get too excited, she lost a baby last christmas at 10 weeks, she's only 8 weeks at the mo so I'm not supposed to tell anyone, you lot won't say anything, will you ?..I keep finding myself looking at babygros and towels..george(in Asda)is going to take such a battering..keep everything crossed :-X :)

Trixiebelle · « **Reply #27 on:** February 24, 2007, 15:36:33 »

DORIS! No, I haven't got a big freezer but I have got 3 X 4yr old 'grazers' (children!) who will no doubt polish the lot off before they get home :)

CAROL: Naughty mummy :( Still, at least you know that eclairs will help her spring back to life in an emergency situation!

Glad you're feeling better Lorna and CONGRATULATIONS MANICSCOUSERS ;D

I've been inside one of Ahmed's 'secret sheds' on his lottie today. It's like Aladdin's cave 8) I spied a FANTASTIC stained glass, sash window in there - it's massive - and he gave it to me ;D

According to Ahmed, anything made from 1975 onwards to the present day is 'antique' and worth a bob or two ... I think this is the first time he has ever made a correct assessment of an item!

Too soggy to plant the fruit bushes ::) Do you think they'll be all right in buckets of water for a few days or shall I take them out?

thats very exciting for you! i hope the pregnancy progresses well. i lost a baby at about ten weeks aswell and it is amazing how common it is. i went on to have two very healthy boys very soon afterwards so i am sure she will be fine. ahhh babygrows and little bootees. will keep all apendages crossed. ;)

My boobs are just like that Lish , NOT. Well I have a Mom that now lives with us. She has dementia so you get everything in triplicate wether you want it or not. She goes to a day centre everyday from about 9am till 3 so we do get some time to do what we want, Looking after her is a priority, when thats done we are free. I just hope that when I'm old ( I mean really old) someone is there to look after me. I have spent today taking my rabbit to the vet for jabs, potting on begonias that I got in plugs from (wait for it) Wilkies. and feeling so bad about a lovely lady I met on here named Sarah.Why can't things just go on and on being ok. I thank you all for the fellowship I have found on this site. Loads of love Shirl

Hi can I jump in here, I am feeling really down today, first Saturday in ages I have had without tons of stuff to catch up on,planned to go to the lotties and they are literally under water,so I thought I would sew and my sewing machine light popped, well I will bake thought me,and I dropped the eggs,I cooked dinner and the meat was tough and the blasted cat has just chucked up on my new rug, so I left husband to deal with that and I came here. OOH I feel better now,I shall look forward to tomorrow,XX Jeannine

Emagggie · « **Reply #36 on:** February 24, 2007, 17:59:35 »

Ooooh Manics, I know that feeling !!!!! Got it all crossed.Daughter 1 is 5 months now. ;D
Lorna I did wonder where you were but I didn't know you had been poorly. (my attendance has been intermittent of late- pooter probs then away)I do hope you are feeling better. Eat more choclit and drink more medicinal brandy, that'll do the trick. ;D
Trixibelle I sold 2 stained glass windows on Ebay last year, got nearly £200 for the pair. Ahmed sounds a man worth cultivating if only for his shed contents.

.oh, and anyone else think that that lady's boobs are suspiciously uplooking btw?

My very first thought Lishka. Me? Jealous?Noooooooo. I like having bosoms like half filled hot water bottles.
Ah, I see the sun's past the yard arm, time for a G & T. Cheers. ;)
Jeannine, cheer up, have one yourself- I think you need one.

Doris_Pinks · « **Reply #37 on:** February 24, 2007, 18:14:30 »

My boobs really do look like those..............................honest..............................................................when I am standing on my head! ;D :-\

Sainsbury's shopping. Then Wickes to buy bark for the garden and a fuse for my heated propagator (sowed aubergine seed a week ago and only just noticed that the propagator is not working ::)) . Sneakily stopped at the allotment on my way home (hurray: rocket has germinated!) Cleaned the guinea pig hutch. Told kids 20 times to tidy up the living room. Spread bark around the garden and got very smelly in the process. Sainsbury's shopping again (while still smelly) because I forgot the carpet cleaner. Cleaned the carpet. Showered!

Tomorrow I'm going to spend some proper time on the allotment. I have some raised beds to build.
