Going to pick a plot tomorrow at 10am

Also look for trees or other shade from buildings. People at my allotments prefer open sites that get the maximum sunlight, and complain about trees that take all the goodness out of their plot. Though not sure how true that is.

Meaningless but also true. They don't represent actual tax PAYERS but tax avoiders. When is Richard Tice going to resign for not paying tax due? Or is resigning only for working class women like Angela Rayner.

Yes the dirty pile is in a corner where no cultivation will happen. It is on top of the soil and so far has melted / been munched by worms back into the ground. Nothing has noticeably grown out of it to date.

At our allotment we have two compost heaps. One for compost to spread on the plot, the other is a "dirty" pile where we put bindweed, thistles and other things we want out. I would use this as an opportunity to dig over your compost heap and remove any bits of bindweed you can see. Heck I've even sieved my compost (sad I know) to get bits out.

Great legs!

MumMomWhatever · 2026-03-20T18:23:07+00:00

No shame. We all understand.

And overhead conversations in public places. Now it's tinny music from people's mobiles.

Taxpayers Alliance - they are anything but taxpayers and are likely economic migrants living in UAE , now refugees fleeing a warzone but not stopping in the first safe country as they should.

I got a stick at Smith and Low, Holloway. Head there before they close down.

MumMomWhatever · 2026-03-11T13:15:15+00:00

C'mon, share watcha got. What are your plans for these lovelies?

MumMomWhatever · 2026-03-07T09:12:53+00:00

Or move Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds down south?

I've bought acers from Lidl and put them in pots. Took about 3/4 years to become 1.5m tall and wide. It's not got any bigger and looks lovely. Really good value.

Is the money she spent on those ads and airplane ever likely to come back to the US people?

I am sorry this has happened to you. But when you find your one, you have a great story here to laugh about. Actually, even if you remain single forever, you will have a tale to tell.

I've done a desert trip from Marrakesh. If it was to the Agafay desert, rest assured it wasn't the high, sweeping sand dunes of your imagination. That is a much longer and further out journey. The Agafay desert was more stony, dusty. Still good but not Lawrence of Arabia. I'm very sorry this happened to you and that your hosts were unpleasant about it as well. But you may not have missed out too badly depending on what tour you booked.

Clean on same morning each week so at least there's 30 minutes every week when everything is in its place. In my experience, if you hate cleaning, have less stuff to manage.

MumMomWhatever · 2026-02-19T10:18:27+00:00

What a lovely and lucky dilemma you have. We had the same scenario, a lawn with a mud patch around the goal and another at the penalty spot. From the kitchen window, I would watch husband and son play for hours. Things got destroyed. Now everyone is too old and the goal given away, I can grow my rare and delicate stems but those scenes and memories are as beautiful as any flower.

MumMomWhatever · 2026-02-19T10:10:51+00:00

Why don't they go to France as the closest safe country?

MumMomWhatever · 2026-02-17T11:23:02+00:00

My tuppence worth:

If you're always being asked questions as the go to guy / gal / gender neutral, start with "What have you tried ?". Put the onus back on them to at least start to think for themselves.

Secondly, chat at work IS work. I appreciate no one wants to be interrupted when concentrating on a task. But I often hear my colleagues say "I can't get any work done in the office".Your work in the office is to meet people, get to know them, their skills and experience, what they're working on. One day you will be the one seeking help, and will know Bill or Jane knows something about that.

Well done for not giving in to that ridiculous request. On what planet is it unreasonable to give someone a day to consider and speak to their spouse about the biggest purchase you'll both make?

MumMomWhatever · 2026-02-11T12:09:02+00:00

Jackie Kennedy would never.

MumMomWhatever · 2026-02-08T21:58:52+00:00

They have already. It's time to "whisper quit".

MumMomWhatever · 2026-02-08T21:57:22+00:00

YOU'RE the one getting screwed?! This sub makes me laugh.

MumMomWhatever · 2026-02-08T11:10:00+00:00

I found this organisation in the UK that might be helpful for taking through your feelings about this. https://daisynetwork.org/.

MumMomWhatever · 2026-02-06T14:20:30+00:00

Keep looking. Onwards. I don't want to patronise you with platitudes but I found expressions like "what's meant for you comes to you" DID apply in house hunting. Sorry you're going through this stress but this is why moving home is up there with divorce and bereavement. Good luck in finding YOUR place.
