I think I've killed my lettuce hanging basket, well not the basket as such but the plants formly known as lettuce. It goes like this: I harvested (f*cebook talk) the lettuce and now I think I did it wrong cause I only seem to have 1 plant growing again. So all you veggie growers out there need to tell me how to harvest the lettuce. What I did do was take to them with a pair of scissors, is that wrong? Should I be leaving the outer leaves and only taking the inners, because I cut them clean off all together.
On a good note, the cherry tomato plants are starting to flower a little and the cucumber plants seem to have taken off and gotten all furry. But the capsium plant leafs seem to be being eating by something as they have some holes in them. Any idea what insect like these plants, my mum keeps on telling me to spray them but with what? Isn't that the whole idea of growing yourself so that you don't have to spray. Dam mother nature and its insects!

ANGRY
I'm just so angry.
A few weeks ago I found out from my mother in the middle of Spotlight that my nephews girlfriend is pregnant again.
This will make number 3 for them.
My nephew isn't even 21 yet.
Anyway, all was fine until I recently, yesterday actually, saw that she had announced on Facebook that:
'after her 1st ultrasound she was pleased to announce to the world that she is 11 weeks pregnant'.
I don't know why this made me angry, it just did. Maybe its the 'its not fair' happening again.
The funny thing was that same morning I said to Dazza, maybe we should offer nephew and girlfriend money to have a baby for us. Dazza, didn't know how that would work, I seemed to have it all worked out. We would just have them terminate their parental rights to the child.
I think this is illegal in this country to do but I can fantasise can't I?
My justification is that they are having their 3rd child on welfare, just like the other 2, they had their first because of the baby bonus, back then $3000, the 2nd I'm not sure if it was for the baby bonus but now the baby bonus is even more but handed out over a longer period.
Surely if I offered $10,000 or even $20,000 I was wondering if they would jump at the chance............. they could have another child later.................
I guess that she announced it on Facebook, now I feel like my plan has fallen through, even though it was only in my head.
But it could work................

why is it?
That the only time of the month that I want to exercise is 'that time of the month'?
Is it a hormone thing?
Is it because subconsciously we know we have put on another 2 kilo's in fluid retention?
Its funny, it seems just that just leading up to 'that time of the month' my brain starts to get the mojo to exercise but any other time of the month I'm more than happy to sit on the couch and watch the Young and The Restless on Foxtel (yes, its me who still watches that show, tapes it actually)
So I'm curious as to why this is happening to me, btw its happening again now..............

I'm back
Minus one husband.
Dazza really wanted to come home today but the nurses wouldn't let him. Although I think he is doing better than they thought he would.
It was a really long day because he was due for surgery at 8.30am but didn't go in until 12pm so not back to the ward until 2pm.
He really wanted something to drink and eat but they wouldn't let him have anything for 4 hours. He was up having smokes at about 4 1/2 hours after surgery, going to the toilet so he thought he would try the can I go home trick but they again said no, it might have something to do with the drainage tube from his stomach!
Can wait to get him home tomorrow though.

Nervous
Dazza's in for surgery today, right now actually, 8.30am, first cab off the rank.
1 Gallbladder gone!
He said he didn't need me to be there and I almost wasn't but couldn't help myself.
He is my everything.
I'll tell you how it went later when I get back from the hospital tonight.
I will be a complete wreck when it's his heart operation.
