    No i don't, so somebody else is using my share. It's the same thing when they mention about sugar and alcohol.

        To be fair, some of the sugar and alcohol is me too - but there is no way in hell, even with two ladies in the house that seem to have more lotions and potions than a chemistry lab, that we go through all those bottles of stuff. Who does these surveys?

          I have nothing but praise for my local council. A few years ago. Much of the local girls schoolwas being rebuilt. A new gateway was made in the park railings and a tarmac path laid. Our road caters for two bus routes and there is a bend, drivers often speed on this section. A few day passed and I took note of the behavior of the students. Quick email to the council's hiways dept, requesting warning signs and safety barrier outside the gate. Next morning I was woke up by the sound of workmen. Two warning signs were installed and the safety barrier.

          The street lights are in two sections, so sometimes a timer may fail and a section is blacked out, or a single lamp is dud. No delay. Truck arrives, new bulb or whatever. Job done.

            Similar to that. We/I, have a friend who always has to go better. She has a grandson named Joshua. So have I. Due to my wicked sense of humour, I often add fuel to the fire and wind her up. Her husband, now dead would sit with a sly grin on his face. Probably saying to himself. You've met your match Marion. Val would say, once they had gone. Bloody woman, and YOU Mick Allen. Stop winding her up. Val very seldom swore.

                The Brits must have arrived! :yikes:
                We have no water pressure and as a consequence I cannot have my bath! :hate-shocked: I always have a bath on a Sunday to soak the old aching bones. The shower is no better as the pressure is pathetic. I had already been out and re-potted my Solanum muricatum which I did from seed and has flowers and tiny fruit at only 20cm tall so my nails and hands were mucky. I don't believe in gloves unless thorns are present. Therefore I have resorted to a bird bath but need to wash my hair. So I feel like an Icky Vicky!

                Actually, the holiday resorts often have water pressure problems due to folk all bathing at roughly the same time but here in the country it rarely affects us ... so thought I'd blame it on the air bridge being opened to us! :heehee: Will see how things go later in the day. :fingers crossed:

                  As we weren't able to open our garden this year we haven't been able to sell anywhere near as many plants as normal - but had enough notice to be able to reduce the number we grew by a good proportion.

                  As we normally get through so many pots people are always dropping in their empty ones. That's really brilliant as we get through so many but I wish they wouldn't still be bringing so many. We must have about 8,000 now :doh:. Half of that number are about 3" pots which we have little use for but we just smile and say thank you. :noidea:

                  Anyone want some pots? :heehee:

                              Only a little moan as it is easy to delete emails.

                              I have received three emails in the last couple of days telling me to check my BT account, for the changes they have brought in, by clicking on the link.

                              They had the proper logos and the correct name of the accounts manager. Unfortunately they sent them from a hotmail account :doh: :loll:

                              Not that I ever click on any links sent in an email from any company without me having asked them to send it :nonofinger: - and I give them a reference number to quote.
