  Reply | Contact  My back has completely recovered now thanks Susiq, hope your aches have gone today too lillyrose. I wouldn't be at all surprised about the price increases on all food items, it's become par for the course over the last couple of years and I noticed the eggs had gone up in price last week compared to what they were the week before.  I did read on a local newspaper site that the farmers in this area will be restricted with their water too so no doubt that will lead to higher prices too. Maisie is making good use of the teething ring, it's a lot more chewed than the one that's in Sasha's toybox I got all the tomato seeds sown today (8 different varieties), some Dahlia and sprout seeds too, and the propagator is now full again sue1002

  Reply | Contact Hi all, Sorry to hear you are both still in the wars girls! Hmmm, you and I both have mega dentist phobia Sue, but I think you will be best to go see 'the dreaded one' so it doesn't get any worse. What varieties of toms did you sow? I'm trying some different ones this year too, along with a couple of old favourites. Have you taken any painkillers Lillyrose? Hope you are pain free very soon We went to see Jack Dee last night in Berwick, he was brilliant, front row seats I was shocked at how tiny he was!!!! Tonight we are off to see Warhorse - OH bought the tickets without me knowing about it, it wouldn't have been my choice, I just know I'll get very upset watching it!

  Reply | Contact  Hi all Thought I had better say hello  after not getting on here yesterday. After we went shopping the day just flew by. My houseplants look much better now Sue after I turned them upside down and dipped them in a bucket of soapy water to get rid of the whitefly and sticky mess that was on them. You did well getting all your tomato seeds planted. Sorry to hear about your toothache Sue..maybe try and put some oil of cloves on it to ease it... Hope your aches and pains have eased now lillyrose. I don't think we are getting a hosepipe ban in our area which will be good. Nice pic of Maisie, lillyrose..I thought she was sleeping until I read what was underneath. Thank you for adding me as a friend to your Gardening FB group. Well done with the marigolds Susiq I grow those too they look great in the garden and are easy to grow too from the little feathery seeds  saved from the previous year. I am growing some potatoes for the first time this year..Sounds as though you had a jolly time seeing Jack Dee last night...hope you enjoy Warhorse tonight too. I am out with a group of friends down the local tonight. I just had to order a new tumble drier as the old one has 'died' now I fixed it a few times over the years and now the door has dropped off. -Richard

  Reply | Contact  Hi all, am home from work early as the boss made me ring the dentist and I've just got back from there with some antibiotics as I have (yet another) gum infection.  I'll gladly swap you for the sore neck lillyrose as I've been awake since 2am and painkillers haven't been helping at all so I'm hoping the antib's will start to kick in soon. It sounds like you had a fun night last night Susiq.  I haven't heard of what you're going to see tonight. sue1002

Sorry Susiq, I forgot to answer you on the tomato varieties, I've sown Tigerella, Black Cherry, Aunt Madge, Gardener's Delight, Tomberry, Roma VF and a new one I haven't tried before Lizzano, it's supposed to be a heavy fruiter on a bushy plant. sue1002

I hope your antibiotics kick in soon....take care..  Those new Lizzano potatoes sound intriguing you will have to let us know how you get on with them Sue -Richard

  sue1002 Location: Ipswich, Suffolk Joined on: 06 Sep 2005 Posts: 9,466	Reply | Contact  Thanks Richard, I'm hoping the antibiotics start to do their job soon too.  I had a 'soft' dinner tonight - chicken and mushroom soup with some mashed potato. The Lizzano tomatoes are these ones, it will be interesting to see if mine perform like the picture on the packet. sue1002

I like the look of the Lizzano toms you are growing . Sounds like your tumble drier has done you well Richard.  I don't think I could watch War Horse either Susiq, I am a right wuss when it comes to films like that

  Reply | Contact  Morning all, it's quite foggy here this morning and the sun is trying to disperse that Yes, it was nice of my boss to let me leave early lillyrose, he was the one who insisted I rang the dentist and from the time appointment I was given, it wouldn't have been worth going back out there again to work for half an hour before leaving off  I had an early night last night and slept through until 5.30 so I'm feeling a bit more human today Have a good day everyone and will catch up again after work. sue1002

  Reply | Contact Hi everyone, another sunny day here. Sounds like the antibiotics are kicking in Sue, thank goodness, am pleased your boss saw sense! Those toms look fantastic, hope they fruit for you as much as in the picture. Nice selection of varieties too. Sorry Lillyrose, I forgot to comment on Maisies lovely pic, she is obviously getting fantastic use out of that ring that Sue sent you - lovely white teeth too Warhorse wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be, upsetty-wise, quite a good picture, bit slow at the start though. Well you did your best Richard with the tumble dryer, at least the weather SEEMS to be taking a turn for the better, so you might get away without one for a little while. Our guests that left after their short break, bought some jams and apple butter, and asked for more when they went - I was really chuffed, as I'm not so confident on my sweet stuff! We were up at crack of sparrows to get OH's car in for MOT, and then I've been to get even more compost and some grow bags Right thats me off out to 'Roundup' the pesky groundelder, as its so fine outside.

  Reply | Contact  Good Morning all,( well it was morning  when I started writing this ) Hope you got all that groundelder sorted Susiq .It is a shame that all sorts of things that grow well, like that, are inedible. Not a bad day here either, cloudy but not cold. Hope that OH's car gets through the MOT OK today Susiq. They look stunning tomatoes Sue hope yours come out like that too. Glad your antibios are doing the trick. Hope you have  a good day in work, last session this week for you. That's a great idea lillyrose with your new FB group it is another place to exchange ideas. I had a great time out last night with my pals putting the world to rights! -Richard

  Reply | Contact  Hi all, that's me finished at work for this week and it was quite an easy day today which was very handy, it gave me the chance to get busy on the photocopier lillyrose That's excellent with the jams Susiq, your guests must have been very pleased with them to ask if you had any more  Hope your OH's car did better than my OH's van did earlier on in the week, his needs a bit of welding done and a new ball joint fitted and a mate of his is going to get those sorted for him this weekend. Glad you have a lovely time out with your pals last night Richard. sue1002
