Who would have thought-switching on the washer would cost me  a load of cash, well it did !

Saturday was washday, so I loaded up the washer, put in the powder, started the wash and sat down at the computer.

Suddenly a heard a load bang and a flash !!
THE RESULT I had to have the whole house rewired and buy a new washing machine, never mind eh its on
ly money.

From Argos on offer  £169.99  a bargain.

The first two contenders for planting are !!

Feb 27 th 2013 " Inspection "

 
It looks o/k, so lets get started.

Costly cup of coffee !!

I dropped my mobile in the old fart cup of coffee, and now it wont work! so I had to buy a new one. Looked on the amazon web site and spotted one a Samsung GT-E 1200 unlocked for £13.59 and brand new, and still sealed in makers box and postage was free...a BARGAIN

I bought an Asda mobile sim  card @ 5op=with calls @ 10p a min and texts @ 6p and top ups start at £5 its the cheapest one around apart from Tesco @ 8p a min.

Allotment 2011

Allotment 20011-12 has now come to an end.
Its now Jan 20th 2013 and we are in the grip of winter snow ice and freezing temperatures.The nights are drawing out 4:29 is light up time to night that's around 3 Min's a day total gain. I have not been to the allotment  since Nov last year , not got no seed potatoes or onion sets  yet or seeds am I losing interest-may be!!  but as soon as the weather gets better I will be up to the pound shop to buy potatoes and onions and a few pks of seeds for a start in march.

Every things o/k

Went for a re test on the 7 Jan the result was normal.

Not all that bad.

I went to see the doctor as planned and the news wasn't bad thank god he said my blood test showed low in sodium a form of salt in the blood and i was to be retested in 2 weeks time

Good news or bad! " FINDING OUT"

Got a letter from the Doctors asking me to make an appointment as soon as poss, so i have for 5:50 to night, fingers crossed !!

Getting it sorted

Getting used to the phone after 2 weeks of playing around with it
but cant get used to the on screen keyboard to type-its to small, in all its far to complicated

Not that smart

 

 Bit the bullet and bought a smart phone-its a Samsung  Galaxy Y, and its smart, smarter than me? Its good for e:mails, facebook, u-tube, e-books, music, radio, photos, ect, and it even came  with £10 air time inc in the price of the phone. Bought from amazon £74.99, ordered sat night, arrived tues lunch time.

Just got to get the hang of it now ?????

BLEAK FUTURE PLOTTING

I have Hardly been to the allotment since the break in and the rotivator stolen not got the same interest in the plot now. I cant dig with the state of my legs, so what will happen next spring at planting time i don't know  yet.

Maybe i will give it up, but i have been on since 1979 that's 33 years-a long time, and have made many friends down there..Albert, Kevin, Roy, Helen & Rebbecca  to name a few, plus countless hours of work and fun-i would miss all of that-how would i pas my time ?. Its been a bolt hole for me, a place to go when feeling stressed out with things-a place to relax and reflect on things.
 

 

So its don't give in, carry on you will " get there in the end ",  you all ways do.

e:mail from a friend

Hi Peter

how's it going? After i saw you i went to the plot and while i was on the plot digging up weeds someone came on my plot and stole my bag. I didn't hear or see them at all - and i was only a few feet away - how awful. My camera was in my bag - so i'm gutted about it.

I wondered when you left the allotment - did you put the chain on and lock it up? When i arrived the chain was over the gate but not locked so i presumed someone was already on the site. Also, who else did you see around the plot - anyone?

I only saw Kevin for a chat and then i saw Andy the site rep - but not another soul. And they didn't see anyone either.

Anyway i called the police and they logged it but it's unlikely i'll see any of my stuff again. So, on your travels if you see a black rucksack in the bushes or in a bin, please try and check it for me. My purse went too. My camera is a Leica - nice little camera. I'm gutted.

So - if you go to the plot - really take care of your stuff - there is a thief about who is very sly.

I'm going to go down later to continue to look to see if they dumped my flask and stuff, but i don't hold up much hope.

Take care when you're down there
