Morning all, :-D <3

It is wearing doing battle with some companies. :-(

I think I am getting somewhere though, but I will keep you apprised. :-D

Quite a decent day here - bright and dry. Tomatoes in the greenhouse are thriving as are the potted bright red geraniums and the wisteria is starting to flower.

Have a good day everyone - be good and don’t do anything that I wouldn’t do. There’s a lot of leeway there girls ;-) so enjoy yourselvws. :-D <3

Morning Joy :-D <3

Bright and sunny here :-D

Deep breath Joy, talking is always exhausting, especially when the other party does not want to hear :-0

We have our tommies out on the balcony as it is south facing, and obviously warmer down here. I have both red and orange geraniums that are starting to flower. A splash of colour is always welcome :-D

There is a house in the next street that has wisteria, that is positively dripping with flowers, so pretty.

Have a good day Everyone <3 <3 <3

Pleased everything went well Gwyn <3

Good morning all :-D <3

Bright and sunny here :-D :-D

I love wisteria it makes the whole garden smell wonderful :-D

Good luck with the battle Joy <3

Enjoy your day everyone. <3

I’m off to the twirlers ;-) ;-)

Morning all :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3

Dry and sunny here but a bit cool so far.

Son has set off for Wales where he's working till Friday night so I'm footloose and fancy free :-D Wonder what I'll do with myself ;-)

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone :-) <3

It's trying it's hardest to be a bright day here and we have weak sunshine.

Temperatures are to be a lot lower today and will we at last get the possible rain?

I will have to take myself on a local walk, as I know of two gardens, where they have wonderful displays of wisteria, at times :-)

Your geraniums sound very colourful, Maddie.
People around here leave them out all year and they just seem to sort themselves out.
We seldom get the harsh conditions of further north and in fact locally, there is a sort of mini climate, which is very mild.
It's the wild winds blowing through the Channel, which affect us most.

Morning Joy :-D <3 Maddie :-D <3 Von :-D <3 Kath :-D <3 Gwyn :-D <3

Started off sunny here now cloudy :-0

Morning Joy, Maddie, Von, Kath, Gwyn & Fly <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Joy, count to 10....hope you get it sorted :-0 <3

My SiL has Wisteria in the garden of her new home and it looks positively beautiful :-D

The wind is chilly willy, I might need to get me bobble hat back out if it continues like this :-0

Collected me Click so time for brunch now ;-) :-D

Have a good day<3 <3

Morning Maddie. :-D <3

I have not read back but, from Maddie’s post, I guess all is well, Gwyn, I, too, am pleased for you. <3

Maddie, I agree it is great to have a splash of colour and I think I may get more of the geraniums for the pots at the front, I do love a wisteria when it is in bloom. Mine is over the pergola near the kitchen door and the scent usually drifts in. It is not as advanced as the one you wrote about but it won’t be long …. :-D

Oops, just got back in and realised that I had forgotten to post these words. :-S

Morning Von, Kath, Gwyn and Fly. :-D <3 :-D <3 :-D <3 :-D <3

Success in Curry’s, girls. :-D

Well done Joy <3

Are you getting a new washer or your money back?

Kath. x

A new washer-dryer (like the original), free installation, a saving of £115 (an independent plumber, not one of theirs, installed the first machine), free delivery of course as I paid that on the first machine and a goodwill gesture (called manager’s something or other) of £20.

So, considering I paid the independent plumber who installed the first machine £100, I will be into pocket to the tune of £35 which is better than nothing and certainly more than my neighbour got when she had problems over something she bought from them. She got nothing back and vowed never to set foot into the store again.

New machine comes next Wednesday.

Didn’t even have to weep and wail at all ….but I was prepared to! :-0 :-D

Perhaps they knew they'd met their match, Joy so no need for more drama from you ;-)
Well done for standing up to them. :-)

Overcast, but still dry all day here.

Evening :-D

Evening Billy Fly <3 :-D

Hiya Belle :-D <3

Oooo it's turning chilly :-0

Did you win :-D :-D

Yes we did :-D :-D I forgot about that ;-)

I've got toothache :-(
