Just grateful to get it so cheaply. I hired a van for £45 and put in £60 of diesel. The two greenhouses cost £40 so in all it came to £145 so, as far as I am concerned, a great deal.

I also bought paraffin heaters so that when Mrs L kicks me out when I tell her how much we have lost on WBN I will have somewhere comfortable to live.

Welcome to the group Oilretire. Now added to the email list.

I reckon because it was the Ebay sellers fault I reckon you should make him pay for the extra cement/pre-mix and labour got to be worth £50 quid.

[harold larwood] 24/9/2014 12:00

I wish - just dug out another 10 inches and busy cementing it now. Blasted nuisance.

Morning everyone bit rainy here in Dereham.

Harold I take it you cannot shorten the green house by what ever.

[harold larwood] 24/9/2014 08:51

Oilretire, its [e-mail] and it is growing so you will be welcome.

Good morning all, Harold the good lady has an allotment but she is thinking of giving it up this year.
Rain first thing but sunny now.

[oilretire] 24/9/2014 08:02

Morning H, dry & bright here.

What's the email for your action group? I don't have many shares, but I guess every little helps?

Cheers

Morning all, raining heavily here.

I was on the road yesterday collecting the 2 greenhouses that I bought on EBay. Got back last night and checked out the one that I am going to erect on the foundations that we laid over the weekend and was devastated to find that the damn thing was 10 inches longer than the foundations and on measuring again I found that the person who sold it had converted inches to centimetres incorrectly so I now have to do some more concreting. I was SO happy.

FUT, I've got into gardening this year for the first time and we have had some wonderful veggies this year. My pea risotto was superb; we have just finished off the courgettes (thankfully); still cropping runner beans and beetroot etc and the kale and leeks are looking good. I will grow tons of tomatoes next year in the greenhouses.

Yes, there is an ominous silence from Numpty Central.

Good morning all, no not worthless Harold, you're becoming a real Percy Thrower, I'm impressed! No news from the numpties then? What do they do all day? Morning fut and wilbury, beautiful day here..

[futhark] 22/9/2014 08:29

Good morning all, bright, sunny but cold here.
Get your feet up Harold.

[wilburylover1] 21/9/2014 10:57

Morning Fut Harold and Gis and anybody else who's watching bit cloudy here in Dereham sun trying to come out.

Harold you never know next year you could have more work on your hands laying the new foundations for the New Woburn Energy you could make us all millioneers.

[harold larwood] 20/9/2014 20:28

Gis, so I am worthless then. Totally shattered but greenhouse base now laid.

[futhark] 19/9/2014 08:12

Good morning all, NO! Thank goodness for that, no I don't need to get a passport.
Overcast here.

[gismo] 18/9/2014 20:32

Evening all I see Harold is getting toned in the garden.

[gismo] 18/9/2014 20:31

10 Woburn shares !!!

[harold larwood] 18/9/2014 16:20

Fut - enjoying myself? I'm almost killing myself. A 62 year old man shouldn't be subjecting himself to such physical work. I blame the wife - she must have taken out an insurance policy without me knowing about it. I wonder how much I am worth?

[futhark] 18/9/2014 15:12

Harold I'm glad you are enjoying yourself!
Red hot here, not a cloud in the sky and no wind.

[harold larwood] 18/9/2014 12:51

Fut, glorious here and have worked up a lather having shifted 20 wheel barrow loafs of soil up the hill. Another 5 to go then its about 15 loads of stones down the hill for the hardcore base. Then the hard work begins again as I will have to carry up the cement and sand. The height being that of two houses.

If the Numpties had of got their fingers out and done a deal then I could have employed a builder to do the work. Still, its keeping me fit I suppose.

[futhark] 18/9/2014 08:49

Lol! If it's a yes vote I will not be able to go their again as I don't have a passport :~(
Overcast here.

[the stigologist] 18/9/2014 08:37

what scots referendum ?

[harold larwood] 18/9/2014 08:22

An early start in the garden this morning as I have 3 tons of soil to shift - thank goodness for the wheelbarrow. Slightly overcast with a definite touch of Autumn in the air.

Thank goodness the Scots referendum is now over as I am totally fed up with listening to it all.

[futhark] 17/9/2014 09:01

Same here Harold, overcast and breezy.
Good morning all,

[harold larwood] 17/9/2014 08:18

Overcast and windy in Barnstaple today so got to crack on laying the base for my greenhouse. I need the help of Mr Gismo.

[scaleyman] 16/9/2014 18:03

Ploughing a lonely furrow, Fut!!

[futhark] 16/9/2014 10:32

Good morning all, foggy start but sunny now.
