My experience trying to grow carrots has been pathetic. But Jess grew some carrots last year, didn't she.

I can grow cress (no soil required).You can have that in a sandwich too.

Sue-you have found the level

Derek -don't think so-have been creating a roof space-where there shouldn't be one

Hope there are no viewings for 14 days-cant do anything till it rains to test for drips and let the insulation dry out

Bunny-move away from the seed packets

Aftie's Everyone! 

Beck's! should be ok with three or four carrots in them recycled pots, n as Pam as said, mixed lettuce leaves would be great! 

B'j! What about a photinia or a pieris "Forest Flame" although not totally red, it is a must have shrub! 

 This is my potted one! 

Oopp's! Sorry! 

"Nice One Sue!" 

 I is one happy chicky!! My car is back, and 100% legall!! My walking days are over! I can go back to being a lazy sod!! YAY!!

Great news Beck's! 

Are you now having to live on bread n water? or wasn't it that bad? 

Ouch, my intentions of not eating more today just been scuppered. Back muscle 'gone' again, so painkillers plus an egg custard should help....

Photinias are nice. I wish I'd kept mine smaller, but it's got a lot of new shoots low down on main stem, so maybe, shall get treeman to remove the top one day. Since I only paid £4 for a poorly, potbound specimen, complete with powdery mildew, I dont grumble as it's now a glorious tree.

Evening Dean.J.

Petrol is getting cheaper-not by much

  Something like that Dean! They quoted me £190 on the phone yesterday, including MOT price, but when I just went to pick it up, they said they has mispriced it, so it cost £122 in total. Then £75 for the road tax, so call it £200 the lot. But, it's done, and worth it, so I'm happy!

Bonus! 

Evening Jo! 

Can't seem to get warm tonight! n have the sniffles! 

That's good news Becks.

OH's car due it's MOT/service this month- I better remind him again. Luckily there's a really good, reliable garage on the industrial estate where he works. The sort that wont do un-nec work, always phones you to discuss options etc. Think most people at the factory, including the boss/ex-boss, use his services.

Painkillers working..... J.

That's like my garage jo. And just round the corner.

Hi Dean, am sniffling too. Mine due to drugs though- honestly. Kept feeling was getting a cold & mentioned it to a nurse. Nope, yet another side-effect. Still only 1 more lot of that to go, whoopee.

Just realised that havent got to do any ironing tonight. Daughter does her own washing now- yay- as does OH at the little house, so wont have to iron 2x a week. Mind you still wearing jumpers around here, so no ironing of those anyway. J.

G'day, forkers--grey and gloomy again here today and tomorrow;hopefully better by the weekend for my niece's last visit before heading back to Oz. I will miss her.

I am on WW too-down a bit this week--surprising, as I indulged in a burger and chips in town last week. But I ran around shopping so much that day that I guess I burned it off.

The catkin buds are swelling already on my birthday bonsai willow--would be great if they were out on the day--but that's tomorrow, so not likely.

Beginning another sweater today--hope I'll do a better job this time, since I've had the practise.

My 89 year old friend has had some complications from her operation--a Whipple, for those of you in the know---fingers crossed. She is still in Intensive Care.

Becks, yes, I too have a 'tame' mechanic, who only lives up the road nowadays. He's kept most of our cars going over the yrs, once the warrenty finished etc. Think he's sort of retired now, so may go over to stay at 'little house' & use garage over there when mine due in the summer. J.

Well doneBecks - be hurtling around the Chase now

Lovely plant dean - not sure if soil is suitable though

Oh Jo you'll be cooking larger than needed quantities of food. Takes ages to get used to smaller quantities.

Can you post that on my other thread Dean so that it keeps it to the fore (thanks)

Yo! Inka! 

Thought's to your Buddy from this side of the World!
