Pumkins are not hard to grow. They just need a good bit of fertilizer and plenty of water. If you want one big one wait till it has a couple on it that you know are growing and pick the end out two leaves past the fruit. Then any side shoots at two leaves also and this will feed the one fruit oe a couple if you want that but they will be smaller.

Shall we have a competition next year??? All grow one and then send the pics to one another??

Thanks Fiona Ii love all the support on this web its great thank you xx

Thanks Jane thanks to all for being so nice
I think I will have to watch Jasper when April arrived here he was really jealous and we had to keep him penned up.

The doctor said two week s for the appointment but then I got a call this afternoon saying it was next Tuesday still better find out what it is from the womens hospital.

Hi I'm back. Congratulations Sheila on your 2 daughters having babies, lovely news, Hope you will be allright after you have your hospital appointment. I am sure it will be fine

Shame you didn't get what you wanted Jane, it's anoying when that happens. Maybe there's something special waiting for you next time you shop.

Mel hello never grown pumpkins is it hard how do you keep them to get big well not as gardner wish I was,

I am being positive do not want to be gloomy on here
Your coat sounds lovely it all beige and browns this year beige is a very popular colour but it makes me look awful and today have a large spot on my nose looks like another nose is about to grow.

I hope I have those dates right the pair of them seemed a bit miffed about the arrival it was mum can you get this and that I am not any good at knitting either cannot see properly now. Wish I was a young potential grannie they will be pushing me around .But I am pleased

Frank one at end of May and one in June both got to have scans worry for both ones over the age for childbirth and other one is like a rake hope she eats for two .

I used to read play out all day and play wars with little metal soldiers with my brother.

Next doors fence fell down and Jasper just went in the garden and he came flashing back must have done something and been kicked out of it.

Good luck for tuesday Sheila ,I'm sure that lump will be innocent.
Are these babies due at the same time???You will be running round like a headless chicken lol

Oh forgot to say the pics were absolutely wonderfull Ann. I take a lot of piccies like that too.

I am just going to do some ironing as I can hardly get into the uti room!!

Still dull here and raining.

Congratulations to your two daughters Sheila. Your family is going to grow very quickly!

Sorry to hear about another lump appearing. Do hope it is nothing to worry about.

I have sold my pumpkins I grew this year but still have four small ones on the plants even though there has been a hard frost. There again I may not have them as I have'nt been in the tunnel over the past few days. Too much to do.

Got a coat in Barnstaple this morning. For what it cost I hope I get good wear out of it. Nearly all the shops had the same styles of jackets. Sort of reefer types with big buttons. Think I am a bit old for that sort of thing and OH called them all Duffle Coats. Went into Banbury's in the end, very expensive but found a nice Windsmoor one in wool and cashmire.

1947 Sheila. By that year most of the men were demobbed (sp) and were at last home and making up for lost time ..... say no more .... lol

CONGRAT'S- Sheila two babies you'll have your hand's full--lol
you'll be in good hand Treatment has come a long way.lol xxx

did Fiona say where was the third baby ---?? well now we have 4 with your daughter Maureen--lol xx

Jill could it be -Low blood pressure?

OH My master's ((not) is calling xxxxx

thank you I am anxious to end all the trouble just want peace on Mels site have had enough of the trouble.

I am nervous about two babies I was so happy for Michelle and then Jess said I am having a baby we all looked at her and she said what did I say wrong. What year was that Maureen it was better maybe than being born the year was broke out.

I will not reply to your pm's Sheila and have reported your comments to GR.

hi Jill how nice to hear from you .

Yes Jill it was a bit of a shock but great news for the girls.
my lump is to be checked out next Tuesday at the womens hospital the doctor said it could be inflamation but it needs checking and it is a bit scary .I had a cyst removed
and I am hoping this will be nothing to worry about.

You sound great fun Jill I tried carving a pumpkin great disaster .Vertigo that is a shame be careful a drop of wine does you good at times I sometimes guzzle a bit of red wine out of the bottle left around here do not drink really but it does me good.

COME -COME NOW---THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE --
It's just a friendly thread -- about our memories , old and new.
if you have some tell us if not that's fine----xxx

Jane's right Ann, they would make beautiful cards.

Yep, wet and miserable here too.

Surprised you didn't find anything in Northampton Jane, I went shopping there a couple of years ago thought it had a great selection of shops, although MK is much bigger. I went to Westfield a couple of times too but don't like all those designer shops, you pay three times as much for something just because it's got a designer name on it.

Haven't read my e.mails yet and am looking forward to seeing your photos Ann, you always take a good pic.

You silly billy Ann, did you have an image of me rolling down a complete double bed from the loft ... lol It's in bits, and the mattress is under mine, that's why I'm sitting up in bed like Queen Victoria. Have got quite used to it now, it will feel strange coming back down to earth !!!!

Great poem Mandy. Think I've worked off all those crisps now, did about 10 kilometres yesterday and burnt up about 200 calories. I could have a bar of chocolate now ....LOL

Going to have a look at the flowers Mel sent, although I did see them on the M**ks website, very pretty.

Congratulations Sheila, two more babies for next year. Looks like it might be a bumper year. Although not as many as the year I was born, think we were called the Baby Boomers ????

It sounds as though we all have the same miserable weather.
Well that was a complete waste of time going to Northampton.I went to Beatties as I knew they sold the make of outfit I was looking for.Oh no they don't ,not for the last few months !!!.So I think it will now be a trip to MK or maybe Leicester.

Frank ,have PM you.

That is not nice Jill.I hope there is something that can be done.Not sure I believe you about the wine though lolol.

It sounds like you have a jog on your hands with those rellies Liz !!

I must go and put the heating on.It's freezing !!!
