I write on sites like Helium which pays you a tiny amountof ad share per view but I have had up to 30 quid a month for not much really. Also thriftyfun.com pays one off competition wins of $20. When we first moved abroad it all added up and helped us survive. Elance is a site where jobs are advertis...

There are a load of back issues of 'Backwoods Home Magazine' free on Kindle at the moment in Bestsellers-Non fiction-Home and Garden. Lots of good articles (as long as you ignore the ones about guns and hunting if you are a veggie)

Cheers for that, I am off to order some now! Deffo looks like a brilliant place to start getting hold of a range of varieties.

Hi Thanks for that tip, I have already bought some from Ebay ready to start them this spring for Autumn planting out for the plants I want to harvest and do PYO. What I am also looking for is different varieties that folk know are hardy in the UK. They may not know what variety they are, great if th...

Hi we used to live in High Bentham near Settle but moved to Slovenia 4 years ago.

I have saved a load of squash seeds from my harvest in Slovenia this year. Especially Butternut, Lunga di Napoli and Hokaido which have been tasty and gorgeous all winter. Also have Frech beans Doublette and Violette de something I can't remember the full name but they are purple delicious and produ...

Hi I would be interested in some of your tomato seeds. I live in Slovenia and I would be happy to find some of the seeds you want and post them to you in return.

I am looking for English lavender seeds. I want to begin cultivating in quite a serious way on my plot in Slovenia. The problem is it is very difficult to get anything not simply labelled 'Lavender' and in the garden centres they just sell Dutch Lavendins. I have loads of seeds to swap especially Wi...

I wonder if anyone has any hardy lavender seeds to spare? I would be happy to pay for postage and/ send seeds in return. I really want to start growing lavender on a serious basis but in Slovenia where I live at the moment I just can't get hold of any different varieties of seed and what they sell i...

You are not sorry, you are patronising and if I responded to you in the way you have responded to me you would not be happy. However and I repeat (for the final time) I am not upset but I will leave you to it... Bye Bye

I am not upset, I just do not enjoy being lectured and patronised, 'you dont need to get upset because people disagree', to be honest I feel that I have been. I just made a suggestion, and if you read my posts you will find I have not made any negative or superior comments about what other people ha...

GOOD GRIEF!! I'm off to dismember myself from ISH! (don't know the technical term) I just can't compete with the standards of taste and decency of the 'regulars'.

The biggest laugh of all is my name is actually CHRISTMAS!

'So if your only concern is security, it is worth looking into those other sites. And if you simply love paper cards, well this thread is not for you... ' If your only reason to read a thread is just to respond by having a rant because you know you hate what it is about, seriously why bother? It was...

Hi all I have to say that we have been using Care2 for 3 years now and they have never spammed us, AT ALL, nor anyone we have sent their cards to. I use them for my Christmas and Birthday cards with no problem whatsoever. I will edit the post to remove the other sites I mentioned, as people seem to ...

I am sure everyone on ISH knows all about them but this is just in case....There are plenty of excellent free E-Cards available and with very little computer savvy and a little time it is possible to use these to spread all the peace joy and love you like in an amusing or entertaining way. :santa: W...
