Hello all


Poor Marnie has had so much filler in her upper lip that it looks as if she is growing a moustache Sorry... I had a dress exactly like the yellow one Saira was wearing years ago, but mine was long.

I don't envy the American electorate but I would deffo be voting for Hillary if I was an American.


Indeed so...

no sound all i could see was Pete leaping around as if he was infested with tiny biting critters. Nikki looked great!

Needed a password

Morning everyone.

you didnt miss much, moots. it was just his usual impression of Norman Wisdom with his ar*e on fire!

Good morning.

Miserable start to the day but it's now turned out really pleasant and very sunny. Hope it lasts. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Good Afternoon Everyone.:+))))))))))))))))

A cool day here, some sun expected but not holding my breath waiting, hardly any wind.


Hi Honey.:+))))))))))))))

I'm glad Joni liked my garden, it seems certain years some veg does better than others.
I don't understand how my spring onions are so different from last year, the same type seeds exactly but they have bulbs on, it's as if the wrong seeds were in the packet.
They were Lisbon.
My Cucumbers did nothing, didn't grow chillies although they usually do ok.
My cherry toms from grafted plants did well, very pleased with them.
Will have to work out wht to grow for next year.


Hi Moots.:+)))))))))))))))

I saw Nikki & Pete on Loose Women, it was hard to watch, he ruined the interview really, he was jumping around like a from, it was all put on for the camera's, poor Nikki, he was an embarrassment.


Hi Honey.:+)))))))))))))

I agree, way ott.


Hi Eddy.:+))))))))))))

Still no sun here, cool as well, gladd no wind.

Yes i sorry i forgot to say you have to be registered on the ITV site to watch any show, but it is free and painless lol

If you just want to watch the N&P bit its on YT Here. Unfortunately this omits an extra bit which featured Nikki on her own backstage before the joint interview, where she was asked if she was looking forward to meeting Pete later in the show, suffice to say she was !

Oh dear. I have only just realised that the person on the X Factor who I thought was called "Mad Terry" is actually called Matt!

Yes I vaguely remember him now - I imagine they deserved each other


I grew a few carrots in pots, just to show the little ones how you plant seeds in soil and watch them grow. They did really well and were very tasty, I was impressed, but I'd never grow them in any quantity as we don't eat many in the summer.

We went to a 'new' garden centre early in the summer and as an afterthought, I bought a tomato plant, I can't remember what variety it was. We've had the most enormous crop of cherry tomatoes for months, in fact I only took it out of the pot last week - I think it cost 75p! I've kept the label from the pot so will definitely grow more next year.

Good morning everyone.

It's lovely and sunny here, 10c but rising. Splendid autumn weather.

Good Afternoon Everyone.:+)))))))))

A cool day here 11c but it's sunny at the mo, slight wind.


Hi JoJo.:+))))))))))))))

Glad you were pleased with the carrots you grew, if you put the seeds in during the spring, say Apr-may they grow all through the summer, you can pull up some in summer if they have grown enough but they are normally left to grow till now, i'm just going to pick some for the roast dinner later, mine are only baby ones but should be very tasty, i've got about 6ft in total of row but they can be left in the ground for longer, as the weather cools it's unlikely they will grow any more.

I love the cherry toms, had so many this year, had 3 plants but thats plenty for me.


Hi Eddy.:+))))))))))))))

Same as here, real Autumn weather.

WARNING IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF SPIDERS YOU REALLY WONT WANT TO CLICK ON THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS is a Huntsman spider and that is a mouse its trying to manhandle!! These are found in Australia and make your average daddy longlegs look like a gnat!

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...12&__tn__=%2As

Do they usually eat mice? I would be concerned for the chihuahuas.

Well, I have gone RIGHT off Ross Poldark.

Not usually but then they arent fussy eaters !

Good Afternoon Everyone.:+)))))))))))))))

Not too bad a dat, 12c with sun, somewhere, not sure where,


Hi Barra.:+)))))))))))))))))

A pity it's on facebook, no way would i ever rejoin that media again, is it on Youtube anywhere?

Sorry i have no idea, i will have a look around to see if its anywhere else and will post if i have success

I dont have facebook, Hicky, and I could still see the video.I think its an open page. (like all of them are from time to time )


but here is another just in case. https://www.theguardian.com/australi...ing-impressive

Good morning you lot.

Chilly this morning, semi-bright out there with the sun peeping out from behind the clouds, 11c.

I've taken a few days off work so it's Christmas shopping for me.

Hi guys




Thanks Barra! I think I'll give this one a miss

Awful AWFUL news about Pete Burns dying of what must have been a heart attack at the age of 57...

It was described as a "massive cardiac arrest", but really there is only one kind of cardiac arrest, which is when the heart just stops beating.

RIP Pete...I am gutted.

Good Afternoon Everyone.

Cool and some sun expected here.


Hi Honey, when i clicked at that link yesterday about the spider it took me to Facebook and wanted me to sign in or join to watch the video.
I've just watched your link, thats one strong spider, i think we would be a lot handier in the house with 8 legs also, not sure about walking up the side of the fridge though, but it would be handy for cleaning the windows and gutter out.


Morning Eddy.:+)))))))))))))))
Yes, cooler today all right, not bad for October though.
Good luck with the shopping, always best to get it in early.


Morning Moots.:+)))))))))))))))

Yes, and so young, 57 is the old 40 i suppose so a lot of living been lost.
I think they call a massive heart attack as one that you can't come back from and many heart attack victims don't die even if they don't get medical help, but many survive with medical intervention.

I thought it depended which artery was blocked and how much of the heart muscle was affected?


How could a heart condition go unnoticed through all those operations?
I just cant believe he is gone.

Hi Honey.:+)))))))))))))))

Yes, it think that, he must have had a total stoppage of sorts.

I suppose it depends on what tests are done on Pete, he might have had some local anaesthetic for some of the procedures.

Good Morning Everyone.:+)))))))))))))))))

14c here, mainly cloud, no sun expected here, not much wind either.

Just a weather update, i noticed the sun has come out, which i wasn't expecting, on refreshing the weather forecast, low and behold they have changed it, so funny, we now have sunny spells during the day at 11am and 2pm.

So funny, it's as if someone rang them up.

Good evening everyone.

It's been a lovely day here, beautiful sunshine and very warm, not what one would expect at this time of the year.
