Nicos you really confuse me, I image nd you as a mature woman, and yet you say you have been known to be wrong

Nicos was referring to when she was baby in a pram and her mother thought she had gurgled something incorrect but it turned out to be a mistake.

Just spent two hours weeding the onion and garlic bed at my grandson's school - I had 5 little helpers plus an eco teacher - they were great but she needs a bit of training.

Thank you Shen

No need - I only said that because it reminds me of the last time anyone thought I was wrong and I presumed you had been in similar circumstances

Evening all

Had a lovely day out Christmas shopping - yes I mentioned the C word again!!! I'm sure I'll mention it many more times before the big day as well. Hope I don't get any pointy sticks poked at me or get put on the naughty step!

Think all the shopping is just about done so need to think about wrapping soon I guess.

Enjoying a restful evening now with a nice cuppa while planning out what to cook tomorrow

Had a lovely day out Christmas shopping .......

We are seriously talking about changing Christmas completely this year and doing a kind of (probably not so) secret santa affair where we all buy one person one present and that's it. We'd spend the run up to Christmas watching cheesy films instead of being stressed going round busy shops buying stuff that may not even be liked/get used with money we don't have.

It was my daughter who suggested it and although my immediate reaction was against it (as a Mum who always wants to give the 'kids' the world), I have to say the idea is growing on me. Imagine how easy Christmas would be.

^^^ Its much easier if you ignore it completely - as I do I think presents should be spontaneous things, at any time during the year, not compulsory gifts on one day.
Bah Humbug and its not even December yet

Evening All, having got that off my chest, let me say what a super day it has been for mid November. A morning in the garden in the sun. OK it rained later but I was tired by then so I could stop without a conscience.
Hope you've all had a good day, doing whatever makes you happy - even shopping

Got a phone call the little darlings have been on the allotment, broken into sheds and been on the nick again, Brother -In-Law and I went down to appraise the damage and losses, looks like I was OK but they broke into his shed and stole the small blowtorch he uses to melt holes in his weed membrane. I have sent emails to all plot holders that have registered and the site rep put a notice on the Allotment Facebook group.

^^^ Its much easier if you ignore it completely - as I do

I really wish I could get away with that. I might even start enjoying it more then.

Has anyone else seen the Amazon Prime advert where the poor dog stays in the background because the baby is scared of him? The owners buy him a lion mane (you need to watch the ad ) and then the baby is ok with him. I feel soooo sorry for the dog. I'm clearly over my 'maternal' stage in life.

@Cadalot - so sorry to hear that, it's always a problem for allotment holders isn't it?! Bored teenagers?

I agree with you but I have a major problem. My boys are 18 on Friday...ive got one a very lovely guitar he's been swooning over for months. i just have two days left to find a present for the other one or just give him money and see him squander it

Happy birthday MR LD!

I'm guessing so, the allotment is next to a recreation ground, we are not allowed razor wire on top of the fence buts that is exactly what we need.
