Hrmph!

Having been so positive about my last op,my positive vibes are rapidly running out! I sadly have still got the lower abdominal pain which at times can be unbearable, then bearable, due to the policy that runs at my GP surgery it is nigh on impossible to see the same GP each time I go, so we are having 'communication' and 'understanding' problems anyway I have at long last managed to get an appointment for next Monday with 'MY' GP! It will be interesting to see what he says!!!

Anyway on a positive note of other things going on around my house..... I have been spending money! Well what better way to perk you up!


This book cost me 1p plus postage from Amazon Marketplace. I bought it specifically for one item that I saw inside it, but, when I had a good look through I found quite a few other things I liked, especially one in particular which I have to keep secret!

Then yesterday I recieved another parcel in the post full of



Red Banana's!
As my greenhouse had been hit so badly by the cold especially as the heaters had decided not to work! I treated myself to some new plants, but of course they have been in the post during this very cold spell. Although they looked good and healthy and had a good root ball, I was a bit concerned, but I warmed up the soil watered with warm water and kept them in the house and this morning they look alot better

They shall be staying inside with me!
The greenhouse heaters, are, after much monitering doing the job I bought them for. The frost stat setting was a load of rubbish, for 2 very cold nights starting at 6pm I went down and adjusted the setting to get the temp in the greenhouse I required. I went down again at 7pm, then 8pm and finally 9pm each night re-adjusting as necessary. I think we have cracked it as so far the temps are holding at about 5C.

Stumped! Snow and Surprises!!!

Well there I was all geared to do some crafting with the grey jumper from yesterday, when the washing machine packed up!! I am now Stumped!!! Fills and empties, just doesn't go round and round!! Mind you I have this wonderful man who can fix it(I hope) I have had it for years and he repairs and repairs, so lets hope he can work his magic tomorrow hey!!
In the meantime I have to dry an extremely soggy jumper, some how!!!

Heres Tango sneaking along the desk to see if he can help!!!



I am really sorry but I just have to post some of my snow pictures!!!!









I have taken loads, I was hoping I might get one good enough to make our Christmas card later this year, but I'm not sure!! I can't go out again as the snow has nearly all gone becuase it has been raining!!!!

The postie has been and look what he brought me........



Should have cost me £33.96 plus postage, but I got them all for £11.48 including postage!!!!!! The Grow Your Own Veg book was £4.99. The other books are for Madison, my Great Neice. Have you read the 'Hairy Maclary' books, they are great my children loved them. You need to read them with a Scottish accent though!!! Anyway if you would like to see where I bagged this bargain look here

Finally ssshhhhh!! be very quiet and look carefully, now whats going on here?? Whose that with the curly hair and bow?



Thats strange, normally when I get the camera out he rushes off to try and catch me out! So tell me who is this Darius?



Oh I see its Grandma Darkwood and she is not very good at rushing??



well in that case I will leave you both in peace!

Now wasn't that a nice surprise reader!!!!! LOL!!!!!
