    Hi all.

    Well done on the open day Pam, good total. Lucky Lottie getting to see it in reality.

    The Ikea saga - delivery is now scheduled for this thursday, apparently. That's what customer services at store found out. Have I been asked/told/consulted by delivery company? No. Should it not arrive then I shall ask for a full refund of all monies paid & start looking again for a cabinet e/w.

    Took myself shopping early this morning after being unable to get to speak to anyone at either company. Needed to get out before I exploded!!

    Yet again a member of staff at the foodhall remembered me & my headscarf. She came up to me to see how was going on- bless. They're all going to be sooo disapointed when I turn up as myself, minus the scarf.

    The living in the 70s is on. High boots- I had a glorious bright blue leather pair- really comfy for disco dancing, honestly! This I must watch, byee. J.

    I had the window open last night-doesn'tanybody go to bed anymore?-I am sure I could hear wheely-bins being put out at mid-night-as for kids being sent to bed at 8 with no supper those days are gone- I'm afraid they probably don't get if from the pub till 11.

    It is peaceful now-but the dog wanted to go out and I was having a lovely sleepimage

    I need to discuss Line of Duty but will wait until I am sure it is safe.

    Too early for coffe-timeimage

    Morning Geoff its a lovely morn here Im not listening to our local radio forecast they were wrong again for yesterday.

    My OH has decided to go for a repair as was planned for today on his bridge and then seek further advice.The helpline were not happy with the advice he was given.

    Wilt with heat ha that is so not fair.. I was looking at forecast for here next week and they are saying a high of 13cimage

    Kate Thats good to hear about the scabious if the plant doesnt survive then maybe it will self seed I have the Macedonica as well its fantastic. I like a few big statement plants. I have a Crambe in the front garden which is a real talking point and in the back I have Euphorbia Fireglow which has taken over a corner 4ft of it anyway its striking at the moment.

    Geoff. Am I not the only one that is made to feel a bit odd because they do there gardenimage Im the only one in our road apart from my old neighbour who is lovely he loves when I go in and give him a hand or go with him to a garden centre. My only worry is the visitors I had at the weekend were worse than me with gardening and to me came across as being a bit odd.. So How do we come across to our non gardening neighboursimage Do you care.. I dont think I do

  • sotongeoffsotongeoff Posts: 9,802

    I put the washing on before 7-that is now hanging out to dry

    Something odd is happening with neighbours-there has been a gardener sitting in his car outside catman's house for 20 minutes-now gone inside-no activity yet-typical of this slob not to be up and ready and keep someone waiting -have seen him do it to taxi drivers as well-will update in due course-could be living Kate's nightmare image

    I find it odd that people buy a house with a garden and do nothing to it-on my stroll to the doctor's on Monday at least 50% of front gardens were not tended to and some completely neglected.

    Update-he is working on the front-pulling out weeds-there will be some returned cat messages to stumble across

    Kate-did you take some pictures? and how was the mexican dish?

    Jenny my dentist always seems to give me the expensive option first, it is so frustrating.

    Geoff is he quiet or does he have 20 petrol tools? The washing I did yesterday dried in 2 hours.

    My neighbours made some comments when they saw me hunting for vine weevils at 11pm, I do not careimage

    I found LOD a little frustrating but that probably is the most realistic view of modern policing.

  • sotongeoffsotongeoff Posts: 9,802

    I have the window open-this is what I heard

    -I knocked the door

    -I was in the shower

    -I rang your phone

    -I didn't hear it

    -I rang your mobile

    -don't have switched on

    Catman has gone to work-he said he won't recognise it when he gets back-at the moment it is just secateurs so is quiet-he is and old chap called Dave

    I am assuming waiting time will be included in the price.image

    I think programmes like LYG must give gardeners a hard time, last nights was just hard landscapingimage

  • sotongeoffsotongeoff Posts: 9,802

    They must have spent well in excess of £30000-I did like the result but can really do without the sentimentality-again will they look after it,does she garden or him for that matter-I am hoping they do return visits.

    LOD did have a frustrating ending the bad boys got away with it-the ones with the white hats did not win-is that the end or will there be more?

    Gardener does not speak

  • kate1123kate1123 Posts: 2,815

    I made it £50,000 and I thought that it would still require a lot of maintenance.

    LOD I can see a second series with the one who was genuinely bad.

    Have you offered him tea?

  • sotongeoffsotongeoff Posts: 9,802

    I said to him you will need more than one bag-he said he had two-then he turned away -he may be under orders not to chat-now pulling the bindweed of the roses-that is as far as I am going.

    I am hoping this a plan for selling the house- then that takes me to the worry stage -who do we get next?
