Just a little journal............

Hello Scobbie :) It's strange how I value my Scottish ancestory much more than my English one. I think it was because my Mum was such a strong willed woman. She really was an true example of a real Scots Lassie, Red hair and a temprement to go with it ;)
I'm affraid I only have one item of the family Tartan, my mothers shawl, and I only wear it on special occasions .................... Talking of which it's Burns Night on the day I get back from holiday, so I will be wearing it then :)



Hello Mobay :) , Well love I have only read "bits and pieces" about TC (affraid I have struggled to find time to vist here just lately), but is it certain he has been "conning" people ?.
That is such a shame love :(

Tell you what Mobay I used to make a living doing market stalls and I used to venture into the Antiques market a little, you know buying things as cheap as possible and selling for a profit. That buisness was full of people trying different "scams" to make a "few quid". However I never did, I "bought quality" and "sold quality" ..................... and in the long run I made more money through being honest than any of the "scammers" and I could sleep well at nights ;)
Have you ever heard the saying "what comes around goes around" ........ well it's true love ;) ................... if a person lives by "ripping off" others, then it will more than likely happen to them ;)



Hello Buk :) You know love I really like to read you're updates of you're grow love ...................... you seem so full of enthusiasim (don't think I spelled that right :o ) and you're grow reminds me so much of my own growing but I feel certain that you will definately produce much more than I ever could ...................... which is fabulous to see :)

Hmmmm Las Vegas :) , well I have talked to people who have been there and I don't think it's quite my "cup of tea", I'm kinda more the old fogie scene nowdays love ................. peace, quiet and a large Vodka ;)
Although I can have my moments :o ;)


Thankyou very much guys :) ............................love mand xxx :)

Hello :)

I might not have to much time to do another update for a while so I will just add a few pics now ;)

The ten remaining plants out of the sixteen seeds have been re-potted, some are looking ok and a few are looking "bellow average". I went to the market earlier today to buy some seeds for the next grow, I also had a good moan to the man on the stall about the failure of so many of the current grow.
I smiled a lot whilst complaining and he knocked off the price of the last seeds from the ones I bought today :)


I'm not going to let these plants grow to tall before inducing flowering and I don't think I will bother "pinching" them ethier, this is just a quick basic grow.

The next grow will be White Widows and I am going to try my upmost best to make that as good a grow as I am capable of doing :o


love mand xxx :)

White Widow... Mmm MMMMMM.... :)
That's what I'm growing :)

Your grows are great... simple, yet super effective.
The current plants, looking great mand :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

-turtle420 :cool:

do you buy your seeds in the uk mand.

Hello Turtle :) Thankyou love :)
There are two or three of them I'm not all that happy with, they look a bit .................. well "not quite right" but we'll see how they go ;)


Hello Scobbie :) , yes I always buy them of the same chap at the Sunday market, he knows me quite well now ............. well I am a regular customer ;)
I actually was looking for some Durban Poision seeds but he didn't have any so I thought I would give the "widows" a try next time :)


love mand xxx :)

lookin good maND AND IM INTRESTED IN WHAT MARKET AS I WEOULD TRAVEL FOR THEM

Hello Scobbie :) Well there is Thoresby market in North Nottinghamshire and Castle Donnington market in Leicstershire. Both have one or two stalls that sell them. You can also find that alot of growshops will sell them as well.

Hope that is some help to you Scobbie :)



love mand xxx :)

thanks a lot mand yer a great help

Hey Mand,

Ya gotta feel pretty special with a thread that has the 2nd highest number of Views and the top number of Replies! Just think what would happen if you wrote a book! It'd be a best seller. Especially if you had photos of yourself with your shawl on as you were tending your crops as the grow progresses!! YEHAAA!!!! :dance: :thumbsup:

LOVE YA!! Marc

Hello Marc :) Special, not really Marc I reckon most of the replies are mine, I seem to have made an awful lot of them :o
I'm supposed to be doing a log of my growing but I'm affraid I do tend to wander "off track" now and again, if you notice most of my "wandering" tends to happen when it's the last thing at night here ............. hmmmm I wonder why that is ;) :stoned:

Well I can't really do an update because there isn't anything to tell you about :o . I can tell you that I'm really ready for a little break from homelife and work. I'm just looking out the window now and it's all grey skies, rain and cold, the main thing occupying my thoughts is in a few days time I'll hopefully be looking at blue skies, sunshine and a nice blue sea.
I'm still feeling a little "run down" from the cold/flu thingy I had last week, still don't feel as though I've recovered from it properly .............. I'm looking forward to a rest :)


Bye for now ............. love mand xxx :)
