Oh no.....NOT AGAIN
a supplier has just sent me a mail to say he has loads of new plants now and in the offing.
Well, I wont look at his catalogue 
. Won't be tempted . No way jose 
. I have enough plants . I have spent a fortune already . I will delete his mail without any Iota of curiosity to look
heck! That is bloomin' rude. he took the trouble to write to me and I'm going to ignore it?
nope! Going to be strong. Got a casserole to check on
I'll take a quick look see

you know they will be puny little specimens and they will arrive at the same time as the belated winter snow and frost so you'll not be able to do anything with them. Be strong Verdun, delete the mail now and look at your own photo album of the fabulous things you grow without the suppliers help.
Now a chocolate biscuit will make everything all right again.
I have the same problem with shoes Verdun. Maybe I could swap for two pairs of kitten heels for some aplines?
Handbags - could offer the same. A nice little red shoulder bag for a bare root rose?
Make-up - I've got every shade of lippy under the sun. What say you to Punchy Pink Gloss for a couple of pelargoniums?
Ho Verdun go for it! You only live once!
This is very embarrassing. I grow a lot of things in pots. Now I have so many pots that my dearest can hardly get the car out of the garage let alone along the drive. It looks ridiculous too. And still I look at those emails, and I get all hett-up about the idea of missing a bargain that someone else might want to take off my hands when I've grown it on a bit... But nobody ever arrives with a big trailer to take them all away, even though I am giving them away for free. Something to do with living in a very wild and remote area half way up a mountain I suspect, but knowing this never quite cures me of the temptation, and still I buy more next year... and then there are the seed catalogues, and all the window sills full of trays...for shame
Basically Verdun, there are people probably worse than you out here, obsessively worse, so why not spend your cash on what you love - there are far worse things in this world to spend money on than plants!
I don't think Verdun really needs our help. I think he will have a look and buy something whatever we say.
