I have been to WW, hence new name and avatar. I hope it will remind me to be good and count points until the Xmas Xcess has gone and my jeans aren't tight any more.
Bjay, is the shortish ex Radio presenter a gardener now?
Whoops again - Note to me for New Year - check posts before I post

Just walked round garden, removed debris from a clump of snowdrops just emerging. New roses are sprouting, Sedum has some rosettes coming. Does it mean Spring is beginning to spring. Have very few daffodils to judge by. Next autumn when I have more structure the plan is to plant them. Snowdrops were already here.
Washng machines do get a blame for a lot don't they
Flo - Oh Dear
Wwe are going to test tumble dryer today as we have survived without any more electricity cuts, but have to check today.
bjay - it's an earth leak. I know because it happened to us only in our case it was the iron that was tripping everything out. How's the cat ? Could be a hairball. We give ours a shot of liquid paraffin every now and then. Saves on costly vet bills.
I like that plaque Pam, my friend has a water feature with the Green Man on it too.
I haven't used horse manure for a long time now. Kate. as last time I did, I ended up with loads of foliage and not many flowers. I use F.B & B now but expect it would be really good for veggies. I'm having a dabble this year. Doesn't it have a high nitrogen content?
The cat is the one that was so poorly before, sores on back and then this sickness so its off to vet this afternoon. Originally they thought she may have ingested some sort of poison, then they thought it was an allergy, last time thye didn't know but put her on a special diet for a week or so, now it starts again. She has always been a playful cat and had started playing, after the last bout, today she is just following me around mewing
I read that chicken pooh for brassicas, nothing for onions and roots and farmyard manure for beans, peas etc.
I did chicken pellets on brassicas last year and they worked a treat, mind you it may be that I am beginning to get the hang of this veggie growing lark
Oh I am in a fuddle -estate agent has just phoned about house-needs a decision on putting it up for sale-have been putting this off-he does reckon from this point to getting a buyer and completion is around 6 months at the moment-just when the garden is at its height-but if I don't do it now- when?-and the property market in Spain is in free-fall so plenty of bargains to be had
Sorry about your cat bjay. It's so worrying when animals are ill as they can't tell us what is wrong.
I read about the property market in Spain, Geoff. Should get a good buy. Is Mrs. Geoff keen to go too?
I've got lots of horse poo or should I say pony poo as I've got two retired shetlands. I do get a lot of nettle seedlings and Frank (Palaisglide) told me that horses have a poor digestion and a lot of what they eat goes straight through including weed seeds. I think manure is more of a soil improver than a fertiliser.

Hello All. Busy little forkers this morning then?
I have been to WW, hence new name and avatar. I hope it will remind me to be good and count points until the Xmas Xcess has gone and my jeans aren't tight any more.

We now know that it is the tumble dryer that is tripping the electricity, not a fault on the system.

Jean- I need a reading-I need it quick
Sure she'll be fine Bjay . Wonder what it is ?
Heavy rain here now.
I will get my crystal ball out
or you could always give yours a bashing ! 
Suppose it depends on how serious you feel about moving to Spain ? It could be sold very quickly like daughters or ...............................
