Only snag is, I've promised not to open it until he gets in from watering the garden.....aaaaargh the suspense, it's sitting there beckoning me to peek.

Shall open tonight and get it back out there asap.

Wow,

That was worth waiting for!  Fantastic.  I've had a go at pick and mix, added some extras and it's ready to go again.  Walked the dog to the post office this afternoon and found it closed.  Will send it tomorrow morning, not going too far, from Staffordshire to Derbyshire.

Thanks Jeannine.

[Linda Tal]

Ooooh goody - I'm in Derbyshire and I hope it's me  ;D ;D

I'll look out for the postie on Monday.

Linda.

[Jeannine]

Come on Blues, the reds are pulling ahead.... XX Jeannine

[Jeannine]

Parcel is on the move again, you are catching up  GO BLUES XX Jeannine

[Linda Tal]

Hip hip hooray, the Blue parcel came today  ;D ;D.

I 'mugged' the postman as he came into the school where I work (I live just up the road so we have the same postie) and he said "is this your parcel you've been waiting for?"  I was so excited and couldn't wait for lunchtime to have a look through.  I got some funny looks in the Staffroom from 'non gardeners' though, it's such a shame that there's not many people where I work that share this wonderful hobby!

Anyway, the parcel is now ready to go the Post Office tomorrow and be sent First Class to ....................................Hexham  ;D ;D.

[Jeannine]

Hi Linda, I know what you mean about the funny looks.I thought everyone in our staffroom but would be thrilled that I got TWO tractor loads of manure, I was so surprised to discover  they were not!! Strange people eh? XX Jeannine

[cambourne7]

the woman we get the horse manure from is popping up to the plot next week for a cuppa she has just bought another pony which means more muck!"!

[Squashmad]

Ooh I'm in Hexham.... will it be waiting for me when I get home from work??  ;D

[Squashmad]

Jeannine, the parcel was waiting for me when I got home at lunchtime- as my OH said, it was like Xmas for me. Many, many thanks. The parcel will be on its way again tomorrow. Carole xx
