It's The Ingratitude That Hurts

[joggerjayne]

I give my plants plenty of water, and put them in nice light spots, near the big windows, with a view of the sea front, keep the soil topped up ... I'm a model plant owner.

So I go to spend a few days with my OH, and come back ... and they're all wilted, and sulking.

After lots of remedial attention, they're still floppy and sulking.

I don't know. I do so much for them. It's the ingratitude that hurts.

They do not like being left behind.

Get Prince Charlie round to have a chat with them.

[DTCwordfan]

well, I guess you are stemming the situation, Jayne. Could ask them to turn over a new leaf, I guess?

[joggerjayne]

I could give them an ultimatum. Fresh and bouncy by the weekend, or I go out and replace them all.

[joggerjayne]

Jeez, you can actually BUY spam fritters ??

( only if you have a doctor's note JJ )

Does Ibuprofen work on plants, Sqad?

[joggerjayne]

Cripes, Triggy!

=0o

A northern weekend? So ... like, Hertfordshire?

[DTCwordfan]

so Jayne, it wasn't you who has bought the £64 mil ticket, somewhere in Herts.....

[joggerjayne]

I don't buy lottery tickets. I spend my money more wisely on blackjack and horse racing.

You're supposed to remember to water them before you go..... and keep them out of direct sunlight... :-)

[sunny-dave]

I think Burgess Hill is probably far enough north, JJ - beyond that you will need an interpreter ...

[joggerjayne]

Lot of weird people in Burgess Hill.

[sunny-dave]

Whereas in Brighton ....

[joggerjayne]

Okay. Touché.

[Psybbo]

My money plant is totally pissed off with me

[boxtops]

You wanna keep a cat, JJ - forget to feed them for even an hour, the ingratitude is incredible.
