  Indoor pot plants.
Posted by: crafters_corner - 25-02-2020, 02:23 PM - Forum: Gardening & DIY - Replies (6)

I want one big indoor pot plant...maybe a maidenhair fern or similar.

But, I also want a small one, to put on my bookshelves, that will trail down. Not big though.
This smaller plant will be sitting under the heatpump/air con, so maybe needs to be able to live in all conditions.

Any ideas please?
Thanks.

Heart Are you single, and looking for love??
Posted by: crafters_corner - 25-02-2020, 11:05 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (13)

It's not easy out there, is it.

Do you have dealbreakers, that you just will not put up with?? (obviously we all have 'cheating' on this list)

If someone smokes, and you don't, is that a dealbreaker? Maybe you don't want to be a parent to someone else's kids?

I simply want "Mr Right For Me".

What do you want in a partner???

  Total Hip Replacements
Posted by: Ferrit47 - 25-02-2020, 10:22 AM - Forum: Health & beauty - Replies (37)

I thought it would be a Good Idea to start A Thread about Hip  Replacements so people can share Their Experiences & Give Advice on how they go on having Their opperations done & how they recovered afterwards.

I had lived with Pain for years which First started after a horse Slipped over & Rolled right over me some years ago. I got Bursitis in it & gave me grief for years.  When I left The farm  i became a delivery person & Street Seller I used to get very sore chins which I brought to my Drs attention  who sent me away to have Xrays done & It showed my hips were slowly wearing out & would eventually need them replaced which was done in April 07 & October 07 . It was The best thing I did too as before having them done I couldnt even walk across the road to The local Dairy. I  was back walking around the block & doing The things I hadnt been able to do for ages. So The Quality of my life improved No End.
