Been to Holsworthy and did library for mum and bought some more plants and leek plants. Bought a lovely rusty coloured Heuchera andx a chinese fern that has rosy new foliage on the new fronds.

Fiona, A friend of Ros's Who is LOADED . always shops at Wilk# she says it's the best place to buy B'day cards and presents as they are so cheap. Is that how these people get their money.????

Jane, Whould you have me any other way. I don't think I am going to change after all these years. Looking at Catiel, I have grandchildred older than her. !!!!!

Oh yes I thought there was something I had to remember today!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Sophia.

Frank I love you just as you are.Wouldn't want you any other way lol

David is very quiet these days .Where are you David?
When I was a Nanny ,the people I worked for were Millionaires.The 2 younger children got the hand downs of underwear from the older two.I couldn't believe it,and would sometimes buy a few pairs of pants for them out of my measly pay.Yes Frank that is how they keep their money.Lots of other ways too .It used to make me so mad sometimes .

Evening all,

Thanks for your photo Catie can you pm your email and i'll send you one of me .

Frank ,your making good use of your new toilet seat !!! the rate your going you'll be looking to buy another lol

Hedgerow Jam ? never heard of that Ann , i remember playing with Rosehips ,they have those small hairy pips inside that make you itch if you touch your skin with them , will be interested to know how it turns out .


Happy Birthday to Sofia one year old today !
We have a Wilki*sons ,i like it , they sell all sorts there and have some good offers on toiletries etc.

My poor feet are sore ,all that walking round Norwich for the day ,they had the shop in the Mall where the fish can nibble your feet ,lots of people having a go !!! i'am afraid i was not brave enough lol £10 for Fifteen minutes , they'd have a field day on my feet !!!
The only thing i bought was my lunch and a pair of Exfoliating gloves for a pound ,hubby said i was very good and he'd let me go again LOL

No Shirl you can't get grip water but you can get gripe water!

I used to love Gripe water.I would stand on the side of the bath and reach the cabinet to have a little taste lol.

OK OK MEL--THAT'S IT PICK ON THE MATURE ONE (thought i was going to say OLD) DIDN'T YOU XXXNEVER SAID I WAS GOOD AT SPELLING LOLXX

GUESS THIS MEANS NO GOLD STAR FOR ME ??

You are a gold star Shirl! you don't need to be awarded one.

It's nearly dark here. I have just shut all the chickies in and am now going to do the rice for dinner. chicken carrots and mushrooms in the oven with mush soup and smelling good. The casserole is rather full and I hope it dos'nt go over onto the bottom of the oven.

Happy birthday to Sofia!! I bet she will love the candle on her cake. It seems only yesterday she was a tiny baby.

Shirl, good job you weren't in Mistress Mel's cut and paste class, only a few passed you know.........she's very good though. lol

Well, the Hedgerow Jam came about because Jane said Chris was picking sloes for the gin. lol We have a lot of sloes on the trees over the bottom fence so I googled recipes for them and the jam came up. I have all the ingredients now, so will make some later tomorrow. OH says he will have some 24 hours after I have tried it!!

His interview went very well, and he thinks he will be successful judging by their enthusiasm and keenness. The job which is voluntary involves unannounced visits to to police stations to interview people in custody. It will only involve about 6 visits a year and some training and quarterly meetings, so won't be too demanding. He also has an interview next week for a job taking minutes at school governers meetings for Northampton education. That one is a paid job and involves a bit of travel which he will like, but you can do as little or as much as you want, which is ideal.

Mandy, the zoo the other day, now tramping around Norwich.......you will need a foot spa next for your feet to sizzle in. lol Mind you we are off to Bridgmere Garden Centre near Nantwich tomorrow, supposed to be Britain's largest, 140 acres with show gardens!! I think I shall be ready to put my feet up when we get back!!.

Oh Ann, i've got a foot Spa ,i never think about using it usually soak my feet in a bowl of salt water .
Hey !! do you think i could add a few Gold fish ,they might like a nibble on my feet !!

Mandy I did giggle at that last remark!

I have made hedgerow jam before also Sloe jelly which is nice with chicken or game and Hawthorn Jelly and of course rowanberry jelly.

Well, your all right Mel you could sit on your decking and dangle your feet in your lovely pond ,do you think your fish would have a nibble ?lol

I remember mum use to make Crab Apple Jelly

FRANK..... You are in BIG trouble lol. Since that post about 'a young bit of skirt'...... I've received a couple of requests for a photo lol. If I get one from Piers Brosnan... I won't be able to resist lol

Mandy... My Email adress will be on that photo. If not, I will pm you.

Tried to pm you Catie ,there seems to be a problem and i carn't send it, i looked on the photo , is it the one that begins with a d ?

I've sent you a pm Mandy.
