            #55....?.....You get a SECOND plot (not including the bit of the garden you use as well)

            #56. You actually think you can justify it to the OH.

                  #59 Even though you haven't even cleared and planted your first plot, you clock that there's spare land next to you that isn't even designated as a plot and wonder how far you could creep into it before anyone asks what you're up to...

                  I was feeling part of the scenery
                  I walked right out of the machinery
                  My heart going boom boom boom

                  I've come to take you home."

                    #60 You get the seed catalogues sent to the office as that is where you will have most "downtime" to check them out properly

                      #61 your kids start refusing to be seen out with you, cause everywhere you go you take a bag to collect leaves.

                          63* You start looking on eBay for a landrover pickup so you can source your own materials, including a pile of steaming tat once a year, straw bales and as much wood as you can scrounge from skips or elsewhere for your wood burning stove! (the scenario's are endless!!!!)
                          You can also leave the scruffy wreck (landrover) at the allotment gates without fear of anyone stealling it, as they would do serious damage to there street cred driving around in it

                            64 ; you think £30 for a bottle of perfum or aftershave for your other half is expensive but £60 for a fork is reasonable !

                              65, If someone spent £30 on a bottle of perfume for you you'd be upset cause you'd rather have had, - several bags of compost
                              - a new wheel barrow
                              - some fruit bushes
                              - any number of items from the garden centre/ seed catologues

                                66 You look upon your windowsills as a great place for seedlings, and the neighbours see so much growing stuff in your windows that they ring the police thinking you have a cannabis factory in your house!
