Glad this bits over, at least. Hope the results are what you would wish.

Thank goodness you got it treated in time. Hope it soon calms down, sounds so painful.

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome - your english is great! With four young children, I don't know how you find the time to grow tomatoes as well!

Start the campaign now for the 'most productive allotment' even to be included in Rio 2016! I'd vote for it...

Moving swiftly on from the nipple clamps.... My mum uses a clothes peg at the top of her seat belt to stop it pulling tight over her front and hence creasing up her outfit! Pleading with her that this might impair the operation of the seatbelt in an accident has been in vain. How can a woman so conc...

Wish I could - but I am giving a feltmaking workshop that weekend, down the road in Nolton. Sounds like a great event, I wish you the best of luck.

I too would have concerns for your children, especially the youngest - not just in terms of possibly having difficulty with foster children, but also because, in my experience, my teenager needs me every bit as much now as he did when he was younger.

The only thing I have replanted is salad bowl lettuce... re: having a homing instinct - didn't someone recently do an experiement with snai...

I have seen frozen mashed potatoes in the shops, though I have never eaten them - could you cook, mash and freeze at home, or would that process require lots of unwanted additives? I freeze dishes with potato topping successfully, so it might work. Any large quantity would take up a lot of freezer s...
