When did ebay become so damned complicated? really struggling with it at the moment not running the shop just using it to sell a few bits and bobs that we dont need , it just seems to be designed to run on a smart phone . Something i dont have and try to avoid at all costs , in fact mobile phones are the one aspect of modern life i detest , I could live without one if it wasnt for work . Then my wretched phone decided to ring 999 under its own steam this morning 3 times in a row .Why just Why!!!
Got a long lecture about wasting their time , i heard it talking to itself or i would never have known , apparently EE are experiencing network problems . So ive turned it off and chucked it into a drawer till i need it .
The only pleasure is veg gardening down in the windswept wilderness , bleedin mice have nobbled my sweetcorn it had nicely got shooting up , the potatoes are just up , lots of orkney blue again this year, its a short season potato so the cabbages will go in straight after theyre done , couldnt find my favourite pink fir apples this year , unless i ordered them which i couldnt afford . Theyre may be a few strays pop up, im hoping . Somewhat surprisingly im getting a bit of help from my son , im not complaining , digging reduces me to agony .
The greenhouse is likely never to get finished , mainly because Mr BH is an annoying perfectionist , if hed just vanish for a couple of days it would be up and working , I dont need perfect i just want it up .
Must get round to sorting the strawberry netting , the thrush will be so frustrated but i want to leave them to polinate for a couple of weeks first , then theres the cabbage nets to sort out , the joys of living in the countryside , the wildlife wants to share all your food !!
Mr Bah Humbug went to see some kittens yesterday they will be ready in a couple of weeks, I knew he would give in eventually, a small furbaby would cheer everyone up , he wants two but we can barely afford one , we arent on Income Support so dont qualify for help with the cost of neutering .
On the Thrift side I managed to get to a Car Boot at New York on Sunday , no its not a large place its a crossroads with a barren windy field with added bucket bog , tons of stalls lots of great stuff and i bought a tray of cauliflowers and calabrese, they are much further on than mine so it gives the crops a head start a whole £2.00 spent .
I'm going to try and flog these JAJ pyrex lovelies on facebook , my favourite pattern but they would be just stuffed in a cupboard unused so they need to go . If they dont sell I will hide them somewhere ..lol you can have to many mixing bowls !!
Ebay can be a right pain I know. Love the dishes I have seen lots at the car boot lately, I think I am going to get some myself.
ReplyDeleteI have given up a lot of on line stuff because of the same reasons!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain... a small change you may be interested in is no dig veggie gardening. I love it https://www.charlesdowding.co.uk
ReplyDeleteive been no dig for years but you cant get away with it all the time all i did was open the ground to put in a dozen cauliflowers ...lol
DeleteHooray for cats! Two would be good but I understand the financial implications.
ReplyDeleteAlys Fowler (I found one of her gardening books in a chazza) says that a plastic toy snake placed near your crop will keep the mice away. Worth rummaging in the toy box at the next car boot/jumbo/ chazza? xxx
thats a new one i will go and rummage the munchkins toy boxes
DeleteYour hubby sounds a bit like mine. Ijust want the darn job finished.... I am still waiting for the coping stones to go on top of the wall he started last month. I offered to do them at the time but was told in no uncertain terms that he would do them tomorrow. He just forgot to say which tomorrow
ReplyDeletei think they operate in a different time space reality , we always call him Mr Half Job , dont tell him
DeleteI tried ebay before we moved with little success and a lot of messing about. Good luck with the garden.
ReplyDeleteI love the pyrex - I have a couple of rectangle dishes with this design - have you listed them yet? Wondering how much the postage would be as they are quite bulky? x
ReplyDeletethe postage would be 12.00 theres no couriers out here only a post office one a week when the village hall isnt a polling station , are you remotely local?
Deletenot remotely local I am afraid - In the middle of kent!
DeleteThe other day I remembered what happens when you drop pyrex on a ceramic tile floor! Couldn't eat any of the roasties Damn!
