@Upsydaisy good luck.

 

Hope it goes well, our lovely @Upsydaisy !

 

Thanks

 

Morning all. Good luck for hose Upsy! I share your sentiments about the lawn.. literally straw before yesterday's soaking

 

Hello everyone, hope you enjoyed your holiday Alp. I find it baffling how little rain you have down there, while I am fed up of having to much it forecast rain all day today - rain Thursday - Friday as well, had heavy rain yesterday the Sunday and Friday. suppose to get better at weekend.

 

....all 5 water butts are full to overflowing + the two black bins as well

 

@Upsydaisy how did you get on with your appointment?

 

Mmmmmmmmm , bit of a mix up ,but I can understand why I may have been sent to dermatology as the clot/ lump is near where I had skin cancer. They said that I should've had an ultrasound and that it is definitely vascular and to contact my Dr to get referred for the appropriate apps !!!.
So I'm back at the start again.
Thanks for asking @Logan

 

@Upsydaisy oh dear, that's a shame. Now you've got to wait again.

 

Does anyone know if Morrisons are doing the £1 perennials this year, like they did last?

 

Good luck Upsy....hope you get the best news possible

 

Not sure, but I do know that they run "specials" each week and often at this time of year it is for perennials. I think it is a case of pop-in-and-see-what-your-local-one is offering

 

@Perki I feel so sorry for you and @zenj Too much rain for you and too little for us. I went out to lug various flexitubs, containers to store the rainwater. I have about 6 butts, so I can't complain. I was in total panic mode before the rain. Normally, Essex is very droughty as the rains come usually from SW, Verdun's way, and by the time, they are here, all the moisture has dissipated.

 

@Mark56 Will definitely have a look as Poundshops don't stock their plants any more. Usually, they stock some, but last time I went, none in sight. To add insult to injury, one poundshop has closed and is now a catalogue company.

 

@Upsydaisy That's so frustrating! That reminds me that I have a blood test outstanding. Don't even know where the appointment sheet has gone.
