Diddy what a lovely garden you've got. I think those orange loungers would need my help to stop floating away most of the time.With a nice cold drink just to hand.
Thank you PG you are so kind.There's lots more when i can be bothered to get out the box brownie.I dont have much garden realy it,s just a council house we had been allocated to us when we came back from mexico,after we were ripped of by a lawyer out there.But however like all good british people,and i do not mean that in any biased or predjudise way,you just get up and brush your self down and move on.
I had the house handed to us and stepped outside into the garden ( as the house did not interest me ) and the council had been in with stimmer,s and blitzed everything right down to the ground,not a blade of grass was left standing.
However i was very greatfull that they gave us a house at all,but my eyes lit up when i saw the woods at the bottom of the garden as i am a lover of nature " yes including the grey squirrels".I knew that everything else was irrelavent.Due to the nature of the ground which is realy heavy clay it has been landscaped by myself twice now.I had lawn and boarders first,but it saturated throughout the winter.It was then i decided to rip it up and start again,this time i chose to hard lanscape the garden,which was to be constructed using a selection of gravel some york stone and decking and included a water feature and a couple of borders. this is softened with the use of various pots and types of mixed flowers for the bees and butterflies,but alsonot forgetting my tropical plants.Friends are asking me if they can come on their holidays here lol.
gj... if you want to make a complaint about BT don't get me started I have the address you can write too. I will never purchase any service from them as long as there's air in my lungs. You would not believe what a call costs if you get it put through from their directory enquires....and I was told the call had already been paid for when asking the question what it would cost....you can ring Australia and talk for an hour or more and it costs less than an 8min BT call to a house within walking distance...when I rang their on line service to complain the guy I spoke to agreed no one would pay for a call costing that much per min if they knew what it was costing them...
Don't talk about BT to me either. When my Dad died 4 yeras ago, they didn't cut the phone off and despite umpteen calls they kept charging us for rental etc. Guess what? When it was eventually sorted - after threatening us with court action- they owed us money. I've just spent five months in dispute with a utility co. who kept insisting I owed them £60. Kept on at them - they never reply to emails etc, threatened me with court as well,so I said I was going to my lawyer. Yes, yet again, they owed me money. They have offered me £20 in compensation. I'm considering telling them where they can shove it....sideways.
First Utility- don't touch them with a barge pole folks.
Use that site 'saynoto0870' and get freephone or local numbers for calls. I never use these premium numbers. Also - if you don't press any button when they give you options you'll be put through to someone right away.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Here's my 3 pennys' worth.I was treated to a state of the art PULSATING ociliating sprinkler from DOBIES. I need to go on a course to learn to adjust it. Despite SEVERAL E-mails to them and expensive long phone calls for instructions(none on box) I have have had NO joy. Small wonder that they had to be taken over by God TESCO to survive.When will retailers learn that GOOD after sale service is what makes them money. Word of mouth and bad publicity is damaging. One good job that Twitter does do
going back to price of plants.. i have not bought any plants form a garden for a long time..so have no idea of their price.. i am trying to gather plants form seeds.. (as in the seedshare) cuttings and swaping with neighbours.. and any i grow and dont need i sell at top of my garden at 3 for a £1.00 or £1.50 - £2.00 for the larger plants..and they go like hot cakes.. brill.. then the money goes into buyingmore compost and seeds. a good rotation system i think.. and the fact i sell unusual plants (that cant be got a garden centres here as they very restricted in choice) as well as the annual bedding ones..
this year i sold £325 worth of them.. loads of compost, seeds and all otehr garden required needs..
That's great GF I do a simular thing with my crosmia's,Have you seen the price they are charging in the garden centres for a few bulbs in a pot,it's disgracefull.I gather the seeds and sell them on ebay,again this pay's for my running cost through-out the year for such as compost and other sundrie's, another little tip is to go to b&q on a tuesday and look for damaged bags of compost,they reduce it before wednesday morning ready for the OAP day.Lot's of people dig a hole into the compost to see what they are buying.And once the bag has been damaged they will reduce it for you if asked.\this does not mean that i condone people going round and punching holes in bag's of compost or even stone chipping's.
I have just read the columb and think it is discuting how they treat people,and then they complain that customer are leaving them,is there and wonder?.
I have just had one of the most embarrasing moment's in my life.I do want to state that i do not wish to lower the tone of the site but...... I have just had some mates over and one was a suiter for my recently divorced daughter.we were all sat around having a drink or three And due to a lack of seating,due to the volume of people my wife and granddaughter were sat on the floor,every thing was flowing fine when all of a sudden my wife let out one almighty f..t I have never been so embarressed in all my life,now if that was me i would of blamed my granddaughter for it.But no she just stands up and say's ooop's sorry.
Ha, fart! Love it! My step-mother used to fart when she stood up. Unfortunately, my two teenage boys roared with laughter and set me off. We were the embarrased ones after for laughing so much. Poor woman...
