Yawn Yawn, Wakey WAKEY...!! 2015

Morning all

Sunny this morning. I've got a touch of hayfever, first time this year. Taken a couple of anti-histamines so will still hopefully get loads done in the garden today

Glad to see you back Shiney. Hope your leg continues to improve, though it doesn't seem to be holding you back

What made your landlady change her view of Amber Moyra? From everything I've read about her she sounds a lovely gentle dog

Enjoy your evening with the Boy Zigs

Would a couple of clematis pull down a fence Beckie? It would have to be very flimsy to do that I would think. The majority of people who buy them tend to grow them up fences to add a bit of colour and I don't remember reading about an epidemic of falling down fences I'd plant them there if I were you

Hope you're beginning to feel a bit better Woo. Your sunrise pics always cheer me up

Love hearing about the antics of the Girls Loli. They really are cheeky little madams

Have a great day everyone, hope you all get to enjoy the sunshine

 

@lost_in_france, you are quite right, I'm going to plant the clematis against the fence! Xx

 

Only my pear tree? Would it be ok for it to climb up that @shiney I was told not to plant anything to close to my pear tree as they don't like their roots disturbed???

 

Oh Eve, it wasn't particularly Amber. She had agreed to my having Chloe a golden lab and had written it into the lease that I was allowed to have a dog. When Chloe demised after 13 years I waited 10 months then decided to buy Amber. Apparently I should have sort the landlady's approval before getting her even though it was in the lease. In the meantime the carpet which was over 20 years old became a problem and we sort her approval to dispose of it. There was an old scotchguard carpet below it which was there when the flats were built early 80s. She said because we had got another dog without her approval she was not going to replace the carpet so we have been living with this old disintegrating carpet ever since. It is very dusty and is falling apart every time I vacuum it. But what can I do? We redecorated throughout and she wouldn't contribute. I had new heating put in because of my age and disability with no charge to her and she still wouldn't contribute, in fact put the rent up! I cannot complain because the rent is reasonable considering the prices they are charging elsewhere. But only because we have done so much to preserve the property. We have put up with water ingress into the back bedroom for most of the 17+ years we have been here. Think it is resolved at last. I would just love to get away from here.

 

Oh Moyra that sounds so unfair. I guess you're not eligible for a housing association or council place? And Beckie's right, she should be bloomin grateful she's had such a wonderful tenant all those years.

 

Good morning everyone,

Hope we're all on form this morning I am now I've got my coughing session out of the way don't these blooming colds lingerEveryone seems full of it,at home ,work,staff and the residents.If we all rang in sick there'd be no one there to man the fort...

It was a cold night last night but the sun is coming up now,best go wake the green kiddies up in the greenhouse before I head off they'll fry in GH when warms up,they're wrapped up like a ham salad

Take it easy everyone ,have a great day and take care

 

Good morning everyone, looks like it is going to be a nice day out there again and what's this we are to have a 3 month heat wave. Could do with some heat to warm my poor old bones.
Amber's moaning wants to go walks so better get my skates on.

Have a good day all,
God bless.

 

Morning all

Nice and mild this morning, no sun yet but hopefully it will arrive soon

Enjoy the family get together Shiney. It's lovely so many of you keep in touch and you all get on so well

Hope everyone is well, or at least starting to get better

Wishing you all a great day

 

Good morning my dear forum friends.
Chilly start here, frost over night, I had to clear the frost off the car first thing, lovely bright sunny day here now, shame I have to work, it doesn't make it any easier that I have a tricky day ahead of me, best I put my best foot forward & get on with it.....things are never as bad as they first seem!
@wiseowl, I hope all is well with you & Mrs Woo?
@shiney, I hope you have a lovely day, it's always nice to meet up with family & so lovely that you've all managed to keep in touch. I hope your new resident robin will be very happy in his new home!
@Lolimac i hope that cold soon goes, there seems to be so many colds around this year.
@moyra, I'm really disappointed in your landlady, she should be ashamed of herself, it sounds to me like you have done her several favours, as for putting up the rent after you've put the heating in, that's awful. There are so many 'Sharks' in the rental game, we've heard so many horror stories of how tenants have been treated, landlords don't seem to be able to get in some of their heads that properties need to be kept up to date & not all the rental income is for them it's also there to fix/replace things!
I had a lovely day in the garden yesterday evening, I've planted up my two clematis, one at the front against the fence & one in the back garden to grow up my plant frame, I've also planted some more lupins, delphinium & cowslips. I'm going to wait a few more days/weeks before I plant up my daliah's, just incase we have more frosts.
Enjoy your day everyone & look forward to catching up later on.

 

Morning early people
