merledogs Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 STILL pizzing down here I think one of my plants, a Daphne Odora, which is a bit of a fussy thing, is not liking too much sun (so I've moved her once) and now she's not liking too much rain, so am going to try putting a plastic bag over her to try and dry her compost out a bit. Fussy cow, can't think who she reminds me of RMF : My guttering needs replacing, badly! When it was raining hard yesterday the joints were leaking and water was going everywhere. I have the materials from when I was going to have a go myself a couple of years ago but couldn't stomach going up the ladder, so am getting some quotes off myhammer.co.uk - so far I've been quoted £100 inc VAT which I didn't think was bad at all.

houndzrus Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 we've just been looking at a new car...... we pick it up wednesday.... a sports car ooh, exciting! I quite like leftover pizza for breakfast. Just like cheese on toast really Sounds a good enough price to me too Alex. I have pottered around the garden, sorting out the plants in the tomato houses etc. I've puled up some outdoor salad leaves past their best and planted more salad seeds. They've had their weekly feed too. Prepared lots of veggies for dinner later and some to make a casserole tomorrow. Just having a break before tackling the ironing. not been a bad day here, a few spots of rain, but nothing like the heavey downpours we had yesterday.

safneo Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I hope the poor dog is safe now. I have not heard it yesterday or today. Had a call I think from RSPCA but as I had asked to be anonymous they wouldnt even tell hubby who answered the phone who they were. Sure they will ring again with an update. Curry for brekkie is yummy but has to be hot not cold! And leftover pizza is always yummy whatever time of day, hot or cold. I went and found a new car yesterday. They are taking my old astra in part exchange. Just have to wait for them to do a couple of jobs on it before I can go and pay for it and collect it. Then the 'new' one that I don't trust anymore (despite it not having a problem for over a week now ) is going up for sale. I just want a reliable car to tow our caravan so we can get away at weekends/holidays with the dogs. Think I am going to have to go to docs this week about my foot. Pulled my achilles heel about month ago and its still not heeled and hurts like f*ck when I put my foot in the wrong position! I can only wear crocs and one pair of shoes (work shoes) which means I am struggling with taking the dogs anywhere interesting in this crappy weather. Crocs are not good in the wet and I can't afford to slip on it. Just have to try and get an appointment outside work hours now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hope you can get a quick appointment Andrea Good to hear you're getting the cars sorted. You're obviously enjoying better weather than us Marje as it's lashed down here all day. Muchos wetness all round. Great stuff Griff. What kind of car? Have been studying since 12 so think that's enough for one day. Now onto the cleaning. Well some of it as I didn't realise that was the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Andrea - hope you get your achilles fixed soon and that your noo car works as it should Have been studying since 12 so think that's enough for one day. Don't, I'm having flashbacks I will find out on 3rd August (or maybe 2nd August if CIPS are true to form and publish the results the night before) whether I have any more studying to do.

sanrossscot Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Sandra, how is the dwarf hammy? TBH I don't think he's too good. It looks like his pouch has filled again and he's not looking too happy, will need to get him back to the vet We were at an agility comp today, it rained on and off all day but we got three clear rounds he popped off the dogwalk in agility (if he hadn't he might have even got a place) - I luffs my boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs B Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I appear to have spent more of the weekend wet than dry. Was at an event on Saturday, and I had all the leftovers to bring home - including one wet gazebo which I have nowhere to dry to is currently in a soggy heap upstairs. I need some dry weather! Preferably evening as I suspect Mr B won't actually think to put it out during the day unless I ring him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
