Wot, no cheese???

Whoohooooooooooooooooooooo!! The lovely JellyB and moi have booked our tickets to Gardeners World... she mentioned something about bringing a pipe.... strangely... so I um shall bring slipppers and a tooth brush to make sure I fit right on in there....! Trains, taxis and foot power shall be my mode of travel... and the worlds' largest hand bag,which I don't actually possess.... due to my remarkable talent of filling it with all things crap, crud, not needed and occasionally a really sticky 20p at the bottom, so I don't use one.. love it... I just stagger about with my jeans pockets on the floor... due to the sheer weight of coppers I end up accumulating through out the week.... *sigh* but I hate handbags now and only ever take one out after a severe pressuring from hubs and the inate need to not watch his missus jangling all over the shop, and forever pulling her jeans up.... think he should get one personally, but there we go....

I've suddenly realized I haven't mentioned the G word for a while... G word, not G spot before you wonder what the heck you're reading....... and my garden is finally coming together!! I'm looking on it as a really, really, reallllllllly long term project, as in I want box hedging to surround the lawn and herb garden, with wafty plants behind it, and since I don't have £238952896 to afford the box plants, the whole thing will have to be done on cuttings! This is one of those times I wish I was known for my patience and not to be one of these people who are prone to being a tad impulsive......! Saying that.. I have managed to get some real good bargains on ebay on the plant front, roses for 99p, all sorts of stuff, can't wait til they arrive! but be warned!! Before going on, know your plants, or you could end up paying £30 for a "very rare" Budleja.... *rolls eyes* or you could just stroll up to your local, municipal car park and hoik one up...

I'm having mixed results on the growing from seed front.. toms are doing pants, as are chillis and aubs.. but, brassicas and sweet peas, cosmos, wild flowers, cuttings etc are romping away, so I shall pot on the 4 *groan* toms I do have and remind myself that I don't actually need 54000 toms plants and 38957298 chillis, so I should be ok, as long as the remaining casualties pick up a bit and grow away!

I've been working this weekend which I was so pleased about....

And last weekend I took part in a litter picking up session in the town... gosh, that was enjoyable, in the wind and snow.. picking up other lazy gits rubbish.... but tis what I signed up for, and it was a giggle... star wars fights with them there litter picky up things.....!! Soo aftr a day of traipsing round the town and collecting used nappies from hedges... euuuuuuuuu.... we pootled off home and the chap went to go dump the litter... or tried to..... the local dump refused the litter cos they said it was commercial... eh???? How the heck is it commercial?????

So he pootled on back to the town, where a real git of a councillor was waiting and said if he didn't take the litter out of the town he'd be charged £20,000 for fly tipping..... which is, of course, just the repsonse you like, and obviously will encourage the local community to join us in our bid to rid the town of crap.. personally I'd like to start with the councillors..... in a skip, followed by the aforementioned dirty nappy......and a large load of tar....
