I think the lad's are frightened by you Linda lol, Look how they are groveling.

Diane

Hi Diane How are you?

We will miss your posts on the boards, but at least you will be able to read ours, so that when you do eventually reappear as a full member you will be up to date!

Allan

Good Evening Diane,
I was surprised by last nights snow - just goes on and on.

Just one more week and you'll be foot loose and fancy free - whoopee.

We will miss you on here very much, so don't leave it too long before you come back. But remember to keep in touch by e-mail.

Tec

Thank's for that Allan I will miss you all too, and yes when I do come back at least I will know what you have all been up to.

Diane

I've just been out watering my pots. It's beautiful out there - no sign of any heat - yet! I have seats out there and can sit down to water in some places. Sadly, my front gardens have to rely on the rain (????) as I can't sit down there, nor can I stand for long enough to hold the hose in my hand - which is still a rule. We must use trigger nozzles and can only water gardens before 10am and after 4pm - but at least we can now do that on any day, where it was only twice a week until recent months.
I am so glad I chose geraniums and roses for my front gardens - I can't see many other plants surviving otherwise!

Ah bless you are all lovely, and yes foot loose and a bit drunk on the 2nd celebrateing my birthday as well as fancy free lol.

Allan I'm fine thank's just shattered after going shopping twice today, once with employer and his mum and then when I'd finished work I went again to get mine, before you ask why I didn't do mine at the same time, the two lot's together would not have fitted in the taxi.

Diane

Berona I really miss haveing a garden and would so love to water your front garden for you if I was near enough to you hun.

Diane

Tec I think you better get your shovel out hun, I'v just seen the weather forcast for tomorrow and we are both in for a heavy fall of snow, Oh darn when will it end.

Diane

p.s. Come on you lot I'm talking to myself here.

i have just seen the weather forecast Tec and it looks like yo uare due for lots more snow tonight.

I will miss you too Diane. I know what you mean about the shopping Diane. i could never do mine when I took mum. Not for lack of space, I just couldn't face the hassle.

We never water our garden either Berona, mainly because we have to pay for the water on a meter. I only water the tubs with water collected in barrels from the roof. Of course our weather is not as hot, but even so the grass does suffer in a hot summer

I will miss you too Linda, but we can keep in touch by E-mail. Your reason for not doing your shopping at the same time as your mum's is also another reason I don't do mine with employer's mum, I have to guide her son round Sainsbury's as well as push a trolley, his mum has a trolley as well.

Diane

Linda, we also pay for our water via a meter.

That was one of the reasons for taking up the back lawn;

We have also turned the sprinlers off on the front lawn which is now just a brown patch!

Allan

I used to have mum in a wheel chir with one of the clip on trolleys on the front. The old type made the set up really long,so it was really difficult to turn corners. The newer type are so wide that it was often difficult to get round the corners where they stick extra stands in the aisles. Plus people just push in while you are trying to manoeuvre. I just used to "accidentally" bump into them when they did that

Allan, what are sprinler's lol.

Diane

I missed the weather forecast because I was in the kitchen making a sandwich - but thanks for the warning Diane and Linda. Unbelievable.

Berona I think heathers survive dry conditions, and will flower in winter, I have some in full bloom now - but buried in snow. You would have to plant them in ericacious sp compost

Tec

Allan,I think that if the plants can;t survive on their own when planted in the soil, then they shouldn't be in the garden. A harsh view i know, but \I don;t want to be wasting water, or paying for it!

So it was you who went into the back of my heel's , you should have heard what I said under my breath lol.

Diane

The delete was me, it double posted

lol, well you should have kept out of my way Diane

I think I've met Linda in the supermarket as well, but it's usually only old ladies that do that

Tec

Joking apart, I hate it when people are not looking were they are going and bash into the your heel's, it so bl***y hurt's.
My son is driving me mad at the moment, blaah blaah, lol
