Fire

 Well thats the annual fire down on the veg patch over and done with , just the ashes to spread and a full box of chicken manure fertilizer to throw around then its full on planting time , im always later than some people getting stuff in , but its open and very windy here so it makes sense . going to pop my sweetcorn and squash in today in pots because joys of the countryside the mice eat everything you direct sow ..lol ive cauliflower and loads of broadbeans awaiting planting and the spuds are waiting patiently . Thats this weeks garden plans 

Anyway what else is going on in the world , it would seem the farmers are planning a grain movement strike ?  could be interesting or maybe not , will all the old grannies be out scooping up all the bread just in case , I shouldnt think the supermarkets will miss a chance to ram their prices up yet again and we can live without bread also i can always hope theres a shortage of Mr Kipling products , another branded product that seems to have become inedible even for himself . On the subject of brands whats going on with Heinz , did they finally realise that they had priced themselves out of most folks shopping baskets? I had got to where the only Heinz product i wasted my money on was salad cream , everything else there were equally as good own label products , now they seem to be on offer everywhere B&N has been doing the curry beans at two for £1.50 so I have a great load stocked up , the big kids love them , they also had cheap HP sauce which is himselfs favourite. 

This week we have to start the application process for Universal Credit wish us luck im really hoping its as seamless as they claim , but if not i can manage on what we have in stock and whats a few threatening letters after all these years , just have to remember to order a few more cases of cat food , then im done, the end of an era i will not have another penny from anywhere till i collect my pension in five years. Under universal credit everything goes to the male head of the household ...joy
