Iv'e been into that email address Anng and I can't find anything to go any further. I can take myself off of GR and other thing but it says contact Customer Support BUT WHERE

I can’t see any reason why this thread should be reported, hopefully they will sort it out soon. I too can remember the phantom reporter, did anyone ever find out who was doing it?

Hello Elizabeth. Pleased that you enjoy the posts and it is good to see you on here. Hope that you are well.

Vera, It is so annoying when the bed gets forgotten. I am feeling pleased with myself as this morning I managed to get a duvet cover onto the spare duvet for the put u up. Being not very tall it is easy to get taken over by the duvet :-D

They have been known to just delete a thread when there is a review request Vera so I hope they don't do that..

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are all okay and well,

Just popped on to say I love reading your posts and
whoever reported the thread must be very bored. <3

Take gentle care
Love EOS

I would be interested to know what the reporter gave as his/her reason for requesting a review but Genes are unlikely to tell Mel that. I just hope Genes look at it properly and don't just decide to whoosh it anyway.

It's another blue sky and sunshine day, though there is still a bit of a chilly breeze. I've done all the washing that had been piling up and a bit of housework, including steam cleaning the kitchen floor, but haven't got around to gardening and am feeling a bit weary now.

Thanks for the advice about the phygelius spreading Annx. It will be fine in the pot I've put it in for this year and next year I'll put it in a very large one. I've got a big one that had a buddleia in it so that should do fine.

Those tiny clay pipes sound very fiddly to make Mel. You'll have to send us a photo if you manage to do them.

Cold chicken and salad for us tonight so a nice easy meal. Oops, I am getting forgetful. I've just remembered that I stripped my bed this morning and I haven't remade it. Better go and do that now before I forget again.

mel email them on

They are quite good at responding to that one.

I have only just read your posts and I can't find where to get in touch with GR. I see there are lots of posts from Jne that have neen requested to review.

I did put on there that why is my thread requested to review. It said answers within so many days.

I just noticed that. I think somebody might have made a mistake but I hope it doesn't mean the thread will automatically be cancelled. Maybe Mel needs to email support.

Our schools break up on 11 April (Friday) As I think do Hampshire schools.

Will be back later but I just wondered if anyone else has noticed Mel’s first post on this thread has been reported for review. It’s nearly 15 years old fgs!

Morning girls,

Bright sunny morning so far and pc says 8 degrees and mostly sunny so another lovely day I think. Arn't we lucky with the weather at the mo?

Nothing planned for today just muddle along and do whatever I wish. I have a little parcel to post and shall try online again which sves my diesel.

Emm came for eggs as I said yesterday and she told me the boys have broken up for the Easter Holidays so I may hear some noise. The only noisse I really hear from them is the football being used between them.

Glad DIL had a lovely birthday and many flowers Mandy. I always remember one Mothers Day present my son bought me. It was a packet of cooured primrose seed and I sowed them and had hundreds come up.

Morning all,

Frost here this morning I could see the car roof was white when we got up but the suns soon melted it .

Ann thanks for dil's birthday wishes it was like a florists shop in their lounge as she still had her mother's day flowers as well as birthday flowers she had to hunt for a vase for tye flowers we took ,I had given her some of my vases when I had a sort through my cupboard.

Not sure what we're doing today, might have a go at the greenhouse but son and dil did say they would do it ,they are coming either tomorrow or Wednesday to put the canopy on the gazebo .

Anng it might be busy in town if the schools have broken up for Easter like they have here ,they finished Friday for two and a half weeks .

Good morning all. 0 degree here but clear and sunny. I can't see any signs of a frost but I guess there might have been one earlier. The only young plants I have out are half a dozen lettuce and I did cover them last night so hopefully will be ok.

Mel at least by not gardening you got ahead with your other hobby, sounds like you got a lot done there.

Ann, good idea for your OH to put the ring away until his weight stabilises
I am different, I have always liked rings and have 7 on at the moment, would normally be eight but one gets a bit tight when it is hot so it is on my dressing table. I wear them all the time. I can't see the point in having them these days and not wearing them if they give me pleasure. None of them are big heavy rings though

Vera. That was a pity that the pot had to break but at least you have managed to repot it.

I was thinking about going in to town but The past couple of days the roads have been gridlocked as a large water main needed repairing on a busy main road into the town and there were other road closures elsewhere. It took people 3 hours to get out of the B&Q car park in town. the store were giving car drivers free bottles of water. So, as I don't actually need to go, I shall stay here.

Not done anything much today I've had a day off gardening s my hips and knees have been a bit painful so maybe tomorrow I will do a bit more. I have a nice empty big trailer BIL emptied for me so I am going to bring it round by my pond and clear along the side so I can see the paving slabs again. I also need to cut the rose back at the end of the decking where the new plastic greenhouse will go when I can get someone to put it up for me and screw it down.

Did a bit of painting this morning of bread and 5 trenchers and a stoneware bottle and a raised tudor pie with colour on the top. I also have had a request for some tiny clay pipes and I have had a go but don't think they are any good. I cooked them this morning and hav'nt looked at them yet.

I missed you there Vera! It's a shame about your pot breaking, but I have had two break this winter and both had been fine outside for years. I found my Phygelius was a bit too vigorous in the garden and started spreading and I dug it out in the end, so keep an eye on yours if you plant it in the garden so you can curb it's enthusiasm if necessary.. They do have lovely flowers though.

I've suggested he waits a while to see what weight he is before he gets his ring made smaller AnnG. He has given up the fattening extras the was having and is able to manage walks now so hopefully his weight will stabilise soon. Like me he doesn't wear it in the house for the same reason as your OH didn't with the risk of doing a job where it could be a risk. He said he feels lost without it when he's out, but I hardly ever wear my rings unless I'm going for a special meal. I never have.

I decided to stay in after lunch so didn't get anymore weeding done. I found the same where the garden was in the sun, the weeds were harder to get out without the trowel helping. They are all growing fast now though!

It’s a lovely day again and is reasonably warm in the sun but quite chilly in the shade. There’s an east wind blowing and that always makes it feel cold. It’s supposed to be cold overnight for the next few nights so I’m dithering whether to put fleece back over my agapanthus plants.

I’ve got a phygellus plant in a terracotta pot that I’ve been overwintering in the conservatory. As it’s been getting warmer I’ve been putting it out in the morning and bringing it back in at night but it is so heavy I’ve been struggling to lift it. The pot was starting to break up round the rim so I decided to transfer it to a plastic pot. I found a slightly larger, terracotta coloured pot that was ideal. I put the trowel in the clay pot to ease the plant out and a great chunk of the pot broke off. I had earth and broken pieces of pot everywhere. The rootball was filling the pot. I’ve managed to repot it and can at least manage to lift it now it’s in plastic. I reckon next year it might have to go into the garden.

I’m glad your OH found his wedding ring Annx. Like AnnG’s T. my OH never had one either. It might be wise for G. to put it away safely somewhere until his weight is stable and then get it adjusted.

We had a nice roast chicken today with roast pots and a variety of veg. Usually I do sage and onion stuffing with it but ages ago I made some cranberry and orange relish and I found the last pot still lurking in the freezer so I put that on the table and it was very tasty.

i remade the bed and the bedding is all washed and dry. I also walked down to Irene's to take a couple of books for the stall and a couple of tops for charity. When I came back I had coffee then did half an hour weeding in the garden. Where I was then the weeds came out easily. After lunch I had another go at weeding but the type of weeds (they look like geum leaves) are strong rooted and we really need some rain befor I can get them out. I had my covid jab in my right arm as I sleep on my left. And the covid arm was not happy with pulling tough weeds so I gave up. I then sat under the arbour just about in shade for half an hour reading.

Pleased that your OH found his ring. It sounds like a good idea not to wear it until he has it made smaller. However, how likely is he to stay slimmer? Is it too big for his middle finger? T never had a wedding ring, it was not done so much when we got married. But he would not have worn one anyway as it was too dangerous to wear a ring to work. There was a story of somebody who got a ring stuck when working on an engine and lost his finger. He later had a signet rimg but hardly wore that. Son has ir now.

Just lost the lot.............................................Not doing it agian as I hav't eaten yet and my tm is rumbling. Em's been for eggs and we chatted for ages just as I was about to start lunch.

Afternoon All,

Sunny and warm today so after a short weeding stint on the waterfall flower bed yesterday I did another today while lunch finished cooking and OH went for a short walk. I also went and got another tray of Violas yesterday and finished planting the pots either side of the arbour by the patio. A delivery driver commented on the wall pots by the front door yesterday.

We spent ages looking for OH's wedding ring again that had slipped off when he took me for my covid jab. He doesn't wear it in the bungalow. He didn't get out of the car at the surgery so it had to be at home, in the drive or on the road at home if it rolled down the drive or in the nearly full recycling bin! I'd looked in the drive and on the road, moved furniture in the lounge to look and checked the other rooms and was about to start on the recycling bin when he decided to double check the car again...........and there it was on the driver's seat! He doesn't know how he missed seeing it, but I was glad he spotted it before my marigolds were plunging among the recycling! This time he's taking notice of me and not wearing it till the size has been reduced.

Anng my covid jab I had on Friday is making my arm feel bruised if I catch it now. Other than that I'd forgotten I'd had it. It's nice out in the garden today. I've decided to get a couple of courgette plants to grow in my tomato pots that I can put outside. I can move them around regardless of what alterations we make in the garden then and they need little looking after.

Happy Birthday to your DIL Mandy. You will be seeing her with wrapping presents so will some of your fruit cake be eaten? :-D What a coincidence to see a horse called Maximus, but a shame he didn't run just a bit faster!

I see you have a busy day planned Mel. Don't overdo it will you and careful where you are jabbing that two pronged fork!

I'm just making final decisions on the wall and floor covering for the ensuite so need to pop to the bathroom place in the morning to see if the catalogue colours match their samples which are a bit heavy for me to carry. Then I can carry on to the village with the flooring place to see if the colours in the catalogue look ok with their flooring I fancy.

Morning all,

Bright and sunny again here this morning and its 10 degrees. Pc says high [pollen count today.

Up[ at 6.23am for the loo then fall asleep agin till 10.23am its becoming a habit I think. Probably all the gardening Iv'e been doing and knbees are letting me know today.

I have to empty the garden vac of leaves and deal with a couple mmore brimbles in the wrong places and cut back the shrubs around my pond and find the path along the edge. Strim the corn at Prickly Bottom and thats it.
