Allotments 4 All

Our postie seems to be getting a bit concerned about the mail I am getting,I have seen him coming up the path squeezing the envelopes, and I swear he was just about to sniff it today when I unexpectadly answered the door. I have had a lot of overseas packages recently marked seeds. I am expecting to get raided any day now especially as the grow lights have been on in the greenhouse when it is dark outside. So if I vanish off the site for a while would someone make enquiries and come and bail me out please?

 ;D ;D ;D ;D
You're well dodgy Jeannine. I'll still bail you out though!  ;D

Ours wouldn't deliver some seeds and I had to go down to the main to collect and pay £1.16...
::)

Was that because the postage was not enough or did he think it was shady XX Jeannine

Yes your card is marked Jeannine - I could just imagine a Hull raid on a woman 'growing her own' LOL....

Jeannine are you from Hull or have you just recently moved there???

Know the feeling Jeannine, our roofers have looked at the vast quantity of tomato plants in my bathroom and by the looks on their faces, they have decided that they are something quite different!

You could always tell them that when they're ready they can have a few ounces each Coz  ;D

Lorna's had a bad bout of sciatica after hand weeding between the cracks in her paving stones, so I sent her a sachet of Wilko's Pathclear.....or at least that's our story and we're sticking to it  :o.....seam of packet burst in the post and there's all this white powder everywhere..... ;D

Wouldn't mind a couple of lines of Wilko's Pathclear up my nose Lish! Might get rid of the dandelions up me nostrils  ;D

I'll PM you with my address!

Judging by what I am reading from you too, there has been more than Pathclear up your noses, you sound more off the wall than I do!!

By the way, I have funny looking tiny  ickle mushrooms growing in my cow poo!!

Feel more Canadian than British as I have spent more of my adult life there than here, so I still feel like a tourist.

this thread really is going into freefall.

i think he just rings the bell now to see if i expose myself...   ;D

Mrs KP if you are laughing as hard as yor smiley thingy you'll look as you have been using the Pathclear too.

Is it any good for stress incontinence?

Nah it makes it worse, but you don't give a d**n lmao

;D

Lish is telling the truth AND I didn't want to waste any so I put a piece of A4 paper on the breakfast bar and carefully emptied the loose powder from the envelope on to the paper, I went up garden to get the watering can and middle daughter arrived. She said "Mum, what is this white powder doing on the breakfast bar?" On top of that I have recently been on steroids and my son keeps saying his Mum is on the dope!!!!

My Mother (in New Zealand) keeps posting me strange things that i don't really want most of the time. She posted me a large parcel that contained a white powder.....it turned out to be baking powder! She thought i might need it because in NZ you can buy 500g boxes of it but in the UK it's in little containers which she had apparently noticed on her visit over.
She had it packed in a foil envelope I'm surprised customs didn't spot it and send it for testing.
I don't know how she got the bunch of dried flowers through without interception either!

Kea, I don't think customs care. I had a 20lb commercial pack of a baking stuff called Clear Gel shipped over and they didn't even open it, it was fine white powder too!!

That's probably because the 'customs sniffer dogs' get a whiff of baking ingredients and have a little conversation between themselves:

BONZO SNIFFER DOG: "HEY! I've sniffed out a package of white powder. It looks like Clear Gel. Shall we report it to our humans?"

FIDO SNIFFER DOG: "NAH! Let's bake pies instead"

BONZO SNIFFER DOG: "Can you bake pies then Fido?"

FIDO SNIFFER DOG: "Erm .. no actually. I can't mix the pastry because my toe-nails are too long"

BONZO SNIFFER DOG: "I think you need to report it to the SDU (Sniffer Dog Union)"

Stop it, I can't get to the bathroom fast enough, and with all these ruddy veggies I could be in trouble !! XX Jeannine
