thought i'd share......

i have no idea how many peeps read my blog.....few i suspect, however there will be some scrappers amongst you so thought i'd share this link that my buddie Ann sent me.
theres a free online class over at Jessica Sprague.com about gathering your stories.
sounds interesting, and while i'm still not scrapping at the moment, i still believe in the concept of preserving your memories.

ermmm.....just noticed another little thing that i dont like about blogspot....just having to click on lines that appear at the top of my screen.....seems they have changed some things.
i may move the blog to another place next year when i get my new flat....new flat, new blog?!.

Is there anything those blasted slugs dont eat?!.

Grrrr......i planted 35 leek seedlings last weekend and today there is only 18 left. Those bloody slugs.....this is war now....am going to have to get out the big guns and go on a slug murdering rampage!.

on the plus side....i planted 3 strawberry plants a while back and they are madly having babies for me so next yr i'm going to have loads more plants. not sure any of them are early strawberries tho, so may have to get some of those so that i get lots of yumminess all season long!.

In other news, i have to find a new home in the new year as the rent on the flat i currently live in is increasing by £50/mth, and isnt worth it in my opinion. So i am moving out early Dec, staying with one of the famillies i work for for the 2 1/2wks before i go to Oz for a month, then staying with them again once i get back whilst i find a new place. this time i'm going to find a cat/chook/kid friendly place and see if i cant work from my place.

thats it for now...hope to plant onions and garlic this weekend!.

so chuffed with myself!!.






hmmmm.....blogger is acting very strange with its picture upload...its all text rather than the actually photo that i can drag around the post!.

so from the top.....some of my spuds!!.

my compost bin that i built this morning from 4 pallets and some wire to hold it together. i figured the wire would make it easy to take it apart later to get to the compost and move it around....we'll see!.

no's 3 and 5 are my tomatoes....never grown them before, and they arent red yet, but still i managed to grow toms!!. the little one fell off when i was weeding so brought it home to photograph!.

no 4 is one of my strawberry plants....might get another couple of s/berries before the end of the year!.

fingers crossed this posts ok!.

ok, this is a bloody worry......

You Are Australia
You have an a great life, and you consider yourself very lucky.
Although you're thankful for what you have, you know you're also a bit of an underdog.

You are modest, authentic, and sincere. You don't boast... if anything, you're self deprecating.
You aren't formal, and people consider you to be very approachable. You remain relaxed and casual in any situation.

trying freecycle!.

Today i'm offering my first load of stuff on freecycle....some magazines that i've had piled up here. i finally went thru them and sorted them into ripped and unripped and am now seeing if i can give them away before binning them!.
if that works, i have a few other things to put up and get rid of!.
freecycle...its a great idea....giving away perfectly good stuff you no longer use, instead of sending it to the tip!.

getting lots of spuds from the allotment now.....definately got to get to grips with successional planting next yr, altho spuds keep well if stored correctly!.
