Nice little essay. Sounds like she's got a good friend

There's a few of us Ishers who do Flylady too. It certainly does help, but when life weighs you down that much it's hard to see how. Best wishes to all x

I'm headed for a glut of tomatoes this year. I'm loathe to get rid of any of the plants as everything else is being beaten by weather or slugs. It's not a huge problem though. Going to make a load of ketchup and sauces. Definitely a load of green tomato chutney as everyone I gifted jars to moaned ab...

Ugh! Well, fingers crossed they're wrong. I'm just concentrating on filling the greenhouse. It may just be a cheap thing that'll only last this season, but so glad I bought it. My veg patch is a complete disaster area.

Not a lot, am on third attempt with beans and sweetcorn, if it wasnt all the heavy rain that got to them it was the snails and slugs, a whole tray of dahlia destroyed overnight, I think word is out I am running a snail and slug b&b!!! :hugish: Same here. My poor courgette plants were looking so...

Gah! Future Sound of London made me think of DJ Shadow. I don't suppose anyone can remember what the TV series was called that was presented by the vicar guy that was about aliens, UFOs etc that featured some of DJ Shadow's music was called? Edit!! Of course I remember now I've pressed submit. It wa...

I try and keep to stuff my girls like too. Our favourite YouTube vids are Raise Your Glass Cosplay lip dub, Geek and Gamer Girls. The Princess Who Saved Herself by Jonathon Coulton. Jonathon Coulton rocks! Love him. We also listen to They Might Be Giants a lot, especially the Here Comes Science albu...

But what if someone's favourite music is shitty pop music?

How'd he die? Did he do an Amy Winehouse? ( R.I.P Amy )

They never found out. It's thought that he was given a bottle of poisoned whisky after he flirted with another man's wife. After that night, he got really ill and died 3 days later.

Red dots mean you have commented on that thread. If it's swirling it means it is a popular thread.

Pop his name on YouTube. He was a blues singer, absolutely amazing. Died at 27, legend said he sold his soul to the devil to become the greatest blues player ever. He had a HUGE impact on rock and roll.

No, we don't get any bird song here, unfortunately. Morning noises tend to be a neighbour arguing or the mosque during Ramadan.

Probably. I also would like to add Peter has been a city lad far too long and is overly sensitive to anything like that. He was about ready to go out and strangle the guinea fowl when we were last on holiday.

Noisy enough that the neighbours having some put my OH off and won't let me have any :( If the neighbours have decent double glazing, it shouldn't be a problem, but the neighbours' chucks woke Peter up a few times early morning, even without a cockerel. I'm not sure if some breeds might be quieter l...

Nope, you'd still need to do the 5 year course, at least. Although all doctors are let off around hospitals early on in their studies. The 'fast-track' medical qualification is still 4 years long but requires a good degree in human biology, psychology, pharmacology etc.

Aren't mushrooms quite high in MSG too? I read/watched something that said our bodies are programmed to eat more when we have sugar. When fruit is in season, it's time to eat extra so we have fat stores for the winter months, our bodies treat all carbohydrates like that. Might have been on Fat Head,...
