Being on the forum is very good medicine Cookie.

Started another potato bag today. Uni wanted to see a photo but there's not much to see.
It is good for anyone with a small back yard or patio. I plant in a bag as it stops the possums and other critters eating the shoots.

I just googled potato bags - it sounds like a great idea. i miss my big vegie patch, but could find a spot in the garden for a potato bag.
Today I madeup a batch of miracle spray, cleaned out my fridge from top to bottom. I have taken off all the fridge magnets etc that have been cluttering up the front of the fridge and given it a good clean. DH looked at it and said facetiously " wow! It's a Fisher and Pykall". I'm tempted not to put anything back on the fridge but I know that won't last long.
I have vacuumed and washed the floors, cleaned the bathroom, put the dishwasher on, washed some clothes, baked bread, biscuits and pumpkin (from the garden), onions, carrots and capsicum to make soup tonight. So much for the first day of HOLIDAYS! I've still got washing to fold....

You don't have to use a bag. A plastic bin or other container is fine too as long as it has drainage holes drilled in the bottom and sides.

ES I took all the magnets off my fridge and didn't put them back on. I don't know how many people who visited me ask of I brought a new fridge :D

Dede, I've compromised and put about half back on.

Hello all, just popping on to thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers for me today  :-*, am home now tucked up in bed.
All over and done with, tho it ended up being a bit of a drama, I got taken off to theatre, then after I was all dressed up and ready to go home I managed to faint halfway out the door....
Tomorrow is a new day. :)

What a sad day for you astarra, rest up now.  :-*
Cookie I hope all went well with your cancer removal - you don't need your doctor's permission to rest up, just ask us girls and we will allow it  ;)
