Hub2Dee (MrFixit) - How do I .......

[JoolsToo]

take a cutting from an ancient Pieris - or is it easier just to by a new a baby one for £6.99 at Hayes Garden Centre

really tho - I'd like to try myself but haven't the foggiest how to go about it - all I know is you cut on a slant!(?). You seem quite knowledgeable in gardening matters so you're my first port of call

Whatcha laughing at, giraffeski??

Nah, the post-preg brain saw the end of any pretentions to writing I had.

there's a yellow van on its way!

Calm down Gski. I fear all the blood is rushing to your horns. Have you had a wonderful day ?

WWB: I'm sure that if you tickled the grey stuff a but and really worked at it...

Nah, too old now. You start losing the old grey matter pretty quickly past the age of 40

dribble, droooooooooooooooool ............

It happens to some of us earlier than others, Jools!

WWB: if I spent the next week hassling you, giving reasons, asking questions, gently prying, encouraging....

... is it something you might think about ?

(in between dribble-mopping sessions)

You're frightening me now! I don't do thinking anymore ...

Maybe you should, WWB... maybe it's something you don't do enough of...

You obviously enjoy it from the literature games on here...

... and you have an especial writing style.

... and your posts are rather good.

Maybe it's an activity which would be good for you in lots of different ways...

(Will you at least do me the flavour of thinking about it overnight ?)... we won't discuss it further right now... deal ?

I'll have a think about it. Not making any promises though ...

Gski - you sound close to grandmother giraffe. Is she in a bad way ?

Sorry you had to be on commode monitoring duties to prevent the unthinkable.

Tell dd that a strange man from the Internet is very upset she didn't eat her mummy's fish pie because it contains magical Omega 3s (or is it 6s ?) to make her really tall and really brainy and maker her dance crazy-like, just like her mamma.

Tomorrow if we're on line together I'll send her a few simlies, but ONLY if she eats up some of that fish pie (or whatever your current mission-du-moment happends to be).

we could start a new board - mumsnetters short story board - I think its fab a idea!

there are some great threads to give you inspiration

Understood wwb... remember, we're not discussing it.

But before my self-imposed ban, gut reaction, one second answer:

For adults or kids or you're not fussed ?

Don't care. Haven't tried writing stories for dd, perhaps I should try!

Glad dd cheers grandma up. Can imagine the loon climbing on the zimmerframe and enjoying it immensely.

So, do you have still have great arches ?

WWB - we said we wouldn't talk about it !

I saw that little smile as you hit SHIFT-1.

That would be a magical present for her and any kids she might have one day.

Let's chat tomorrow.

My eyes hurt.

I'm pretty much off to bed...

'nighty noght,' giraffeski.

more info required - re climbing plants please

for a sturdy trellis between two houses. I've been advised clematis is good but apparently it doesn't look good in winter(?) any likely alternatives that don't die easily and grow quick?

Clem. armandii is evergreen. Other Clems will look a bit crap during Winter.

Look up some images on google (enter text, click images).

There are other evergreen climbers, we recently discussed this here and en passant here .

HTH.

Thanks very much

No problem, do you require a VAT receipt ?

LOL.
