If the socks are pink and grey striped with sheep on them, then they're mine...

I need good strong all weather/terrain walking boots, the ones I have are very old and showing their age, I didn't like anything they had-looked too much like 'fashion' rather than functional, same with the coats, lightweight rather than strong and long lasting.

I got a pair of Merrells from there and they're doing me very nicely, much better than the considerably more expensive Mountain Warehouse ones that only lasted a year and a bit.. They've some decent Columbia ones as well.

Mind, I go to the big one in Surrey Quays, where they have more or less the whole range in. The problem I have with their coats is the fact that being short and curvy, either a) the sleeves are much too long, or b) I can't do the benighted thing up.

Love their fleeces though...

Lovely supper here tonight - another yellow sticker special...

Black pudding, fried onions, fried apple rings, mash and steamed asparagus.

Mmm, just a plaing roast chicken here with bubble and squeek rostis and a salad. M&S chicken always seems tender

Been forced to go to MeadowHell please kill me now!!!

I know what you mean. We just 'had' to go there last week.

I remember seeing a sign in The Forum shopping centre in the Devonshire Quarter once (this was 20 years ago, no idea if The Forum is still there!). It read:

No Meadows
No Halls
And definitely no sheep!
​

Very apt

Thank you for that I think that may have been what got me through, it got worse, out of MeadowHell, across the road to Ikea, then around the corner to Costco, I need a lay down now for a few days

I've not been in the new IKEA. And I have absolutely no plans to do so. Last visit to Costco was about 5 years ago. I'll leave it another 5 before going again. No rush.

I rescued a palm tree today. It was my daughter's. She had it in the backyard/garden. It was on its side and missing quite a lot of its soil. I knew she'd get bored with it and then neglect it. I now have it in my bathroom. I've put some banana and veggie skins and stuff in its pot and topped it up with compost. I'll give it a month or so to 'get better',then i'll transfer it to a bigger pot and put it outside here in the communal garden.

I'm wondering how one lifts it with one handle when it's full?!

Yes,bananas are great for all plants,i learnt last summer from a rose tree growing neighbour

I now save all banana and other fruit and veg skins/peelings etc,to use for plant food. Ok,my flat sometimes stinks a bit of rotting farty smelling veg,but….
