Dunno about Saturday Scrumps, Sunday morning always tops in our house.

Do you remember those days ?

A bit of Rock 'n Roll.. a few Babychams.. and the blokes looked liked Elvis...
Those were the days.. 

Then you got married..
Sex on Birthdays and Christmas..
And on holiday... at Butlins..
The bloke you married dozed in the chair after a couple of beers.. and sex went out the window..

Just a new topic .. Should anyone be interested...

It turned out nice again.. Warm in the garden.. 
I did a fair bit of weeding..
Watched the film.. 

I thanked her for her input... 
I started to giggle..
She realised what she had said and replied
 ' No.. you are ok...you are good for an old'un.. 
   'You can walk'...  😁😁😁😁

Did you tell her she'd made your day Scrumps  ?   

Really dull here and windy too, but it's dry so I've got sheets on the line.   That film looks really good Scrumps, I might join you  ! 

I was the same GM, paid ' married woman's stamp' for years even though I was working full time, silly me.  When I lived in Germany where my son was born I didn't claim child benefit, silly me again, as that would have counted towards my pension.

That's what I was thinking, I have dine some light pruning and removed some dead wood.
Today I planted a two year old weeping cherry tree in a large pot  behind the Buddha .
I put it in a pot in case I want to move it later.

If so,  what do you find grows well?

Just the usual toms, snacking cucumbers and chilli's. 

Quote from: klondike on April 16, 2026, 09:31:15 AMIt doesn't stop with the initial unfairness. Percentage increases widen the cash difference every year. I intend to live as long as possible just to spite them.

This.  My state pension is pitiful, the years I was at home don't count, unlike nowadays. And I was daft enough to pay a reduced contribution NI stamp (Married Women's) for years without being fully cognisant at the time what it would mean.

I made the mistake in one house of digging up what I thought were dead wood soon after we moved in.  Fuchsias. I know better now. 🙄
