    Gardening is ok. Any evidence should be secreted on other threads.

    Can I just say how much I love this thread.  I know I am not as worthy as some but I am desperately hoping that I will be allowed to join this esteemed club.  In addition to the following photos I freely admit that I cant remember the last time I ironed anything, and never in my life have I ironed bed sheets.

    Managed to lean in and take a photo of the back of the shed.

    Oh and I too found a dead mouse in the shed, it had drown in a bucket of water left to catch the drips from the roof.

    Once found one in the bottom of the ironing basket in my old house, couldn't fathom what the smell was, proof indeed that I never iron.

    Some of you are a bit concerned about how to garden slothfully so I will give you an example:

    I have just deadheaded a load of climbing roses - gardening

    I left the clippings where they landed - sloth.

    the last one is an attempt at being tidy.  I threw it in an empty container that happened to be lying around.

    HaHa I dead headed the last of my tulips today! Also dead headed my first rose (by accident) I bumped into it and it confettied all over me.

     B3: What a waste image

    You should have collected all those rose petals, stuffed em in an old milk bottle with a bit of tap water and made some lovely perfume.

    As I recall eau de kitty 1976 was a particularly fragrant batch image

    Muddle-Up, I don't think it's impossible to combine total slobbery in some areas of one's life, with relative order in others...  my veg patch looks quite creditable, whilst my shed... well, you've admired my shed already.  image

    Playing catch up ..... this is one busy thread!

    <whispers>... er I'm a Virgo (do I get extra points and therefore get promoted?), I bought a white rose in the supermarket because it was called Rosa Virgo.  It's not flowered yet (I don't mean this year I mean ever!).  Might hoik it out - it's all nonsense anyway! 

    My Golden Showers on the other hand (named by an American I believe! <knowing smirk>), is doing great stuff and is forcing me to get orf me .rse and learn how to look after climbing roses (this is my first one) - this deadheading malarky is a bit intensive isn't it?  I work you know! (who am I telling off?).  

    Anyway, Eau de Kitty sounds like the stuff that was in those bottles that were hiding behind an esteemed member's shed for six months ..ew!  ... or should that be mew?
