I would love a couple of bush buttercup and table gold acorn. I have been looking for some bush winter squash to save a bit of space.  I've got lots of seeds I can send for the school project.  I will PM you.

Many thanks,
Ali

Hi Jeannine - would love to try either the Sweet Meat or Table Acorn ( both sound great ).  Are they outdoor varieties?  I do have some long curly Sicilian squash or knobbly north Italian Zucchini :  both bought

Jeannine, if there are any Small Sugar left I would love a couple.
I sent you my address last night after my seed counting exercise!!!!!!!!! Glad it had you all laughing - it was meant to.
I will put some some extra seeds in for your school garden when I send you the tomato seeds tomorrow.

[Jeannine]

O K, but  don't start me laughing again, I don't need to be on the operating table tonorrow shaking with laughter when I am supposed to keep perfectly still, goodness knows what would get cauterised, XXJeannine

[star]

 It will be fine Jeanine ;). Look forward to some pain free time ;D

[Tin Shed]

Many thanks. All the best for tomorrow -  will be thinking of you as I sort the seeds out!

[Jeannine]

Now I just know what I will be thinking about, Tin Shed with shoes off looking puzzled XX Jeannine

[littlebabybird]

Jeannine thank you for my seeds
i hope yesterday went ok

[Jeannine]

Yesterday went fine, not exactly pleasant but quite acceptable, I refused the sedation they offered me and just took the locals. It took an hour and a half and  they only did one side so I have to go back for the other.

After I was perfectly OK,slept well last night, minor almost invisible discomfort on rising, but gradually over the course of the day I started to get more an more pain, it is very very bad now, this is pain from the procedure, the original pain has gone.

The hospital phoned me today ( they do the day after) apparently it is not unusual it is trauma from the  burning which causes bruising, it is as the bruise comes out that the pain comes, it is apparently temporary so will go away eventually.

So I am walking the Hunch back of Notre Dam, but have kept positive,

[Tin Shed]

Jeannine - hope today has been better.
Keep thinking positive - think of yourself as Esmerelda not the Hunchback!!!!!

[Jeannine]

No better but I am hopeful.  Said my prayers last night for help with the pain and the  good Lord sent a burst pipe to the school  in the night which has brought the Easter break three days earlier so I am off now!! Forgive my little joke please God  but it was bang on for timing.

Not a lot stops me, but this has.

Only for a while though

Oh dear, did they tell you how long this could be expected to last? Lets hope that your early break helps you rest up and heal quickly ;)

Cheers for the seeds Jeannine. I'll do my best with them.
              All The Best-Marky.B. :)
