Wow what a rough ride you have been having MW I really hope all goes well for you and that you are back to normal soon.

I haven't any inspirational ideas I'm afraid as Christmas dinner is always :roll: at my mums house so I have never been able to spread my culinary wings in that way. I did have to have a little giggle at your Fidget Pies SusieGee. Our dog is called Fidget, and we are constantly threatening to stick ...

Nice one Davey crockett. May you be enjoying the fruits of your labours soon

Hi AlanW0, I have a similar problem in that I have a very urban garden with only 4, 2x1m raised beds. What I have realised after 5 years of growing is that the best thing for me is to try and grow crops that are not only expensive in the shops but that I know will get eaten too. I have also had to a...

Aww it's really nice to know that I was missed

This is a link to some natural remedies that featured in a series called Grow your Own drugs one of which you might be interested in. http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/features/growyourowndrugs/s2_episode5.shtml If you have a look at the Willow Granita (2nd recipe down) that is supposedly a paracetamol/aspiri...

I just wanted to say a hello to you all again, I've been away from the forum for a while now. Not for any reason in particular, just lots of things going on here really. I also wanted to wish you all a very Happy Christmas/ Yule season. :hugish: :hugish: :hugish: :hugish: :hugish: I hope to catch up...

I want to make some Turkish delight for the hubbys Yule gift and i wondered if anyone has had any experience with making it. My efforts with sweetie making always end up as a disaster. This is the recipe I was thinking of trying http://www.rivercottage.net/forum/seasonality/seasonal-recipes/25476tur...

I like nettle but really don't drink any that often. Normal tea is , but I fully appreciate I'm a little odd in this viewpoint

Well done Maggie, that's great news.

Ok if you have the quilt top you need to measure it. Do this by folding it in half measure down the fold, not around the edges as you might think. Then unfold it and fold it in half the other way and measure it again.( so you have with and length measurements. Use these two measurements to find the ...

OK - let's give it a go then... I'm off men! Anybody? Zoe Can I say I'm off men too, even though I've been with DH for almost 10 years. I have an excuse...he's still wearing the sheep all in one suit I made for him :lol: :lol: :lol: In all seriousness though, I tried dating before I was married usi...

I think I want to swear at you that is an amazing harvest!

Our strawberry harvest amounted to one dessert bowl full, which my son managed to scoff in about 30 seconds flat

Clarry I have tried many dwarf fruit trees in pots, but I would have to say that they need BIG pots and LOTS of water to do well, so if you don't mind watering them every day in dry spells then its fine, but otherwise they will never be as productive as if they are in the ground.

The most worrying bit about the blurb is where it says, semen is readily avaliable in most resturants. I'm NEVER eating out again, just in case.
