Please dont laugh.............

Number 1 Daughter and I have been growing potatoes in a container, well the old kitchen swing bin to be precise, all the flowers had died off, the bin felt helt heavy and there was at least half a ton of nice green healthy foilage sprouting from the top so we expected a bumper crop of spuds, out came the garden tarpoline, we up ended the bin and rummaged round for the fruits of our labour.

Did we get 100cwt, no of course not! How about 60lbs, no way! OK then how about 15lbs, no, way off track! What we actually got was one and a half pounds of potatoes, some the size of marbles, a couple were actually a decent size.

What went wrong, I hear you all ask............Well when we emptied out the bin the growing medium was bone dry, we were so frightened of over watering and causing them to rot that we actually didnt water them enough, still there were enough for tea, they were extremely fresh and the flavour was wonderful!!!!

We now have another purpose built potato planter which has begun to sprout and this time out spuds will get plenty of water.......Oh well you live and learn as they say!!!!!!!

Would it be that designer handbag you've longed for? Maybe a new motorbike? Those new designer shoes? A brand new car? Diamonds?

For me it would be a detatched 4 bedroom house in the countryside. No neighbours for miles. Private motorbike track in the grounds and a seperate party house/annex :O)

Ok people, all you have to do with this one is add vowels or constenants in the spaces to create a new word.....

Just wondering what other people think; I have long hair and if it wasn't I can't imagine what I should do with it as I don't like it short.
