Good morning everybody.

Looks like you're all having a lie-in this morning then. After my computer gremlins of the last couple of days it seems to be working again today - don't know what that was all about!

Down south today we have a nasty, grey, wet, miserable day - just right for hibernating. Have a good day everyone and see you later. :)

Good Morning Mad, got these for you gal 8-)

I'd manage to get on, just catch up with the posts then as I started typing the computer cut out on me - gave up in the end. Seems to be behaving itself today so far though.

We had a fabulous sunny and warm day yesterday and had a nice stroll along the prom. 8-) :) I don't think the weather will come in like they forecast (unless you live where Sue does maybe :D ), they're just scare-mongering as usual. :D :D If it does come then I'm thinking (purely selfishly, of course :D ) then it can start after 9 a.m. on Monday morning cos by that time I should be well on my way. :) I did get caught out 3 years ago when it started snowing as I arrived in Gatwick and all flights were cancelled. :P :D

Yes I've got a small fan heater, so I can have a warm now and again :) but i aint got a cumfy chair like that one :( :o

Hey can you remember when we were talking about sweet peas :o :) well i've found those Sugar & Spice :) so I will be ordering some of them in plug plant form, that will save me having to chit the seeds :)

Whenever I've grown sweet peas from seed I've never chitted them and they always grew ok. :)

Hmmm I posted on here earlier but now it's gone.

Hello everyone

Nice to see we have a couple of new people on the site today.

Great pic. Andi and at least those polar bears have got nice warm coats on with all that snow around brrr. I hope you are wearing a nice warm coat for your walk in the park Mad. I am doing my housework today so that's exercise but I'm going to go for a walk later as well.

Sorry to hear you had another bad night Sue :( but good that you are ready for anything now :) you need to be with all the shanannigans going on here :)

I know of men who have a shed which is where they escape to to get away from her indoors, is that what your garage is for Pete? :) to get a bit of you time. Don't start getting all technical Pete 'chit the seeds' I don't know what you are talking about :o

Hopefully this post will go.

I'm off to do some more cleaning now, can't wait, just love cleaning :)

Speak later. xxx :)

Hi Jillygirl

It's great to hear from you, I think it makes everyone smile when you come and have a chat. :) I hope you are feeling a little better these days, wishing you a full and speedy recovery.

I can't say that I have ever come into contact with sweet peas so I don't know what they smell like but I think I recognise them from your picture.

Take care, loads of love and hugs t o you xxxxx :)

Rite Ladies, - chitting seeds and I did say chitting :P :D :D

Sweet pea seeds are very hard !! and to have the best flowers you have to sow the seed in October or February, to obtain the strongest and healthiest plants :) at this time of Year the compost is cold and damp, so some of the seeds just rot :(

So what we do is put the seeds in dishes of water enclosing the seeds in kitchen roll or similar, then put these in a dark and warm room, as in your airing cupboard, and you check them every day to see if they need more water and if you can see any shoots appearing :) when the shoots appear, then you pot them up into compost, this way they are already growing when you plant them :) then keep them on a window sill until its warm enough to plant them outside :)

I tell you now that you will see the difference :) :) you will have flowers to cut for the house from late May until October- November

Its worth paying a bit extra for the named, erm scented varieties :) :)

andi22 in reply to monky

I always thought that chitting meant nicking them first, especially with sweet peas! :o

monky profile image
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to andi22

Andi, yes you can nick them first before sowing them, but as i've said they are very hard seeds, so is difficult to do that :( it's a lot easier to soak them :) :)

monky profile image
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to andi22

Potatoes- we chit similar as in, well I used to put them in egg trays, best side up in the airing cupboard until they erm sprouted, then they would be ready to plant out in the garden, especially the early varieties :) :)

Kazzachoc profile image
Kazzachoc2 YEAR WINNER in reply to andi22

I thought you meant nicking as in stealing them from other people's gardens then Andi :) It would save going to all the trouble of chitting them and waiting for the roots to grow. :D

Just wondering if you may be able to help Sinfree on the questions - about Champix :o :) :)

Hiya Jilly, nice to see you about. :) Hope you're not too bored and that your antibiotics are now kicking in. Perhaps we could send in some of our spears to help out too. :)

andi22 profile image

Pete, I was wondering how you got on at your quit meeting this morning (if you went) and if you've seen the doc yet about trying champix. Not seen any reports back but you were talking about it before. ;-)

monky profile image
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to andi22

I went to the Chemist this Morning, but my advisor is off work with a cold :( but as I told Mad, I managed to see another Lady about it, and she kindly looked through all the prescriptions, but could not find one for me :( so the Lady said that she would phone me as soon as it comes in :)

So if they get my prescription early on in the week I will have time off work to get it :) cos i'm ready to quit now, am cheesed off with smoking :P :( :(

I'm getting a bit annoyed now, but I know there doing there best, just cant wait thats all, cos when i get the Champix, I've got to smoke for 7 - 10 days :P :P

But I have got to try it :) :)

andi22 profile image
andi22 in reply to monky

That's a shame cos I thought your new date was supposed to be on Monday. :(

Kazzachoc profile image
Kazzachoc2 YEAR WINNER

That's the problem with having to wait to see advisors and sorting things out. You are ready to give up now but then it takes weeks to get to see someone and I know one time, by the time I got to see someone I had changed my mind :)

monky profile image
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner

You ' Mad ' flippin would do :o :D your just a tipical flippin Woman, and if your going to steal something, then nickit !! :D :D

Mind you I do suppose nick & nick do sound alike somehow :o :o and if you wernt an expert on these matters, then you could quite easily get mixed up :o :P :D :D :D

monky profile image
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner

Oooooo that many I'm impressed gal, I really am :o :D :D :D

Haha, have loved reading all the comments on here, you obviously all get on really well together. If Pete gets his Champix next week and I manage to get some too on Tuesday we should be able to compare notes.

andi22 profile image
andi22

Hiya Sin, that would be really cool - you and Pete could be quit buddies. I was one of those once - he's had quite a few of those now though - one of them even came out in sympathy with him so she could quit along with him for her second time! :D :D :D

Think I'd better scoot off ............ zzzzzooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

in reply to andi22

Yes that would be good. Sorry I disappeared, I got sidetracked on another post and then ended up on Google, then totally depressed myself reading medical stuff - tsk. My other addiction is the internet :-0

I also need lessons from Pete on smiley faces, half the ones I know don't seem to work on here.

andi22 in reply to monky

About time too - that's my trick! It was the call of the tinnie, I bet. :D :D

Sin would like a bit of advice about the e-ciggie thingumy over on her blog and I said you'd help her out as you've got some experience of it. :)

Sinfree, dont believe a word that Andi20 flippin 2 says, cos she's got at least 5 brain cells :o and is way way above my expectations of a Woman, cos am normal :D :D :D

andi22 profile image
andi22 in reply to monky

Put your specs on - she also has an inhalator (like you do :o ) and needs some advice on how to use it best so as you are now a bit of an expert on it I said I would get you to help her out with it - okay? doh! :o

Kazz will be watching Casualty but I haven't got a clue what Sue might be doing. Have you eaten all your bread already? :)

Kazzachoc profile image
Kazzachoc2 YEAR WINNER

Oy JC less of the slow :D Andi was right she knows me well I've been watching Casualty. Haven't a clue were our Boozie Suzie has got to but she didn't sleep well again so maybe she is having a snooze. Yes did you save us some bread and don't say you don't share that either because it's bread not cake :)

I'm sure if we were sneaking cakes, your cake radar would have picked it up, it's unbelievable the way you can smell a cake a mile off :P

That all got a bit confusing them about the inhalator :) Andi you are a woman above Peetie's expectations as you have 5 brains cells :D :D Is that another insult saying that most women have less than 5 brains cells hmmm, spears at the ready me thinks D

Hello. :) I thought I only had one or two of them brain cels so don't know where he got five from - perhaps he nicked them! :D :D (Think he's hammering those tinnies tonite tho! :D :D

Kazzachoc profile image
Kazzachoc2 YEAR WINNER

Yes I thought you must be growing more because I'm sure Peetie has said that you only had 2 in the past. He is unusually quiet and I don't like it when he's quiet, means he's up to no good. If he is hammering the tinnies he might be snoring in the chair soon :)

andi22 profile image
andi22

I think he said that's what happened earlier when I was calling him. :)

Kazzachoc profile image
Kazzachoc2 YEAR WINNER

Yes you woke him up :D Then he didn't know where he was or what he was talking about.... nothing new there then :D :D Good job he is asleep means I don't need to hide :D

Yay to Day 2. Day 1 is nearly over, and not been toooo bad. Struggling with everyone's names at the mo so can't remember where you are up to with your stopping John but have a good day tomorrow.

Night night John, sleep well and speak to you tomorrow. I am not surprised there is nothing sweet in your fridge, can't imagine anything sweet lasting long in your house. You could just be bluffing though :)

Why me having to play with him all night if he wakes up?? Why can't you play with him? You're the one with 5 brain cells :)

Night night Peetie, sleep well you deserve it. I think Andi meant inhalator not e-cig it's late so it's easy to get muxed ip :) I am worse than that first thing in the morning, well when I say first thing I mean up to around 11am :)
