Well am back -they call it diamond day cos I am a diamond-they are virtually paying you to take plants away-have come back with 5-not-full -trays of bedding and paid all of 52p-10 or so begonias were 5p-so I now have geraniums, begonias and more petunias-where are they going to go?
Geoff you must have a better store as mine are often half dead but full priced. I am worrying about Margaret though.
Lottie when they move the retirement age to 75 we will be in a right muddle.
There was a break in the pain so I have been out and chopped back a lot of plants that had flopped, I have also put some pea seedlings in a grow bag. The exciting news was that I found 2 french beans even though the plant is less than 2 feet tall.
Have tidied up the plants and discarded the mouldy bits-and now they look even more of a bargain-we had a short bright interval and took the opportunity to cut the grass it is so green and lush yet has not been fed- other than the odd chicken poo- for 12 months-a good year for the hay-makers?
You and Lottie will never reach retirement age so I wouldn't worry- it will be 97 in 20 years time
Joking aside my fork handle has broken. It belonged to my great uncle who would be about 120 if he was still alive. Have tried everywhere to get a replacement, but it is only a certain generation that understands the joke. My daughter works in a candle shop and every day the phase about "fork candles" is spoken and they all think it has been said for the first time. Any ideas where i can get a new handle!!!!!!
It is for early birds although I have been to some where the sellers go on to one in the afternoon-other than I don't know-why do jumbles sales-if such things still exist- start at 2pm?

Got told off by MIL for calling them OAPs - apparently they prefer the term 'seniors'.
I also worried about the diving shoes - I think flippers might be better!
Paining here again.

Eric Sykes has gone
My spade I have had for over 40 years has just snapped in half-I need a spade handle !!

Well maud-I was just in the middle of digging up this currant bush and it snapped showering dirt all over me-so not happy
I think you can buy replacement handles-just looked and Amazon sell them
http://www.amazon.co.uk/tag/fork%20handles/products
so am sure they are available elsewhere but as we in the throw away generation probably not widespread
I am going to look at buying a replacement spade one from a carboot sale
My lawn is not green it is going brown from the mud. I need a new fork too, why can they not have car boot sales in the afternoon?

Have planted out 30 begonias-cost 9p
I need some cheap bedding that looks expensive.
I thought jumble sales had been replaced by charity shops and those odd collectors.
