Peggy's Mundane Thread

First child (he is playing with duck set) in bath, I have one and a half hour to bath them both and to put them to bed befor I will log in to the match

Glass of Chablis on the sofa........ just the one! Always leave 12 hours from bottle to throttle

I'm going out.

It's the right weather for soup, innit. Or even for a hearty broth.

Nice day for assembling a gamma ray detector...... interesting one for the CV

Can't decide whether to go out and drink Guinness, or leave it til tomorrow with the football. Not the Guinness obviously cos it would go off , probably...........

Haven't had a drink for two weeks cos I've been on the painkillers, haven't had painkillers for most of this week so off to get fairly wankered tonight.  

Got to pull myself out of this hangover and get motivated for a night out in Islington. Errrrrrrgh.

Fortescue or not Fortescue? That is the question. Or wait until the match tomorrow for lashings of pre-match alcohol? I might even pop-up the Cherry Tree and listen to Seadog's old sea shanties, or Czarcazms pearls of wisdom.

I might even beam up to see De-Liar on board the USS Brenterprise and call him a few choice Anglo-Saxon expletives!

Umm, decision decisions.

Back in the garden today having a go at the planty thing. Its now gone, I have repaired the fence
and gone up the dump and got rid of the bits. All I have to do is kill the stump that is in the ground. Anyone got any ideas how?

Stick of dynamite.......but stand back a little.

The wife likes a big bang!  

SBK. Put a hole in the stump and apply liberally. Takes a while but it won't re-sprout. Don't let the kids play with the stump. Sounds bad that but you know what I mean.

As sensible says......then cover with a plastic bag tied with string.....stops the rain washing it off and helps to protect from the kids.

SBK?

Never heard of it.

I was going to paint it with some old oil based gloss I found in the shed.  

That should stop it rotting then mouldy.

SBK from any respectable garden place. It just about kills anything if you don't want it to grow. Mixing it with a bit of parafin does the same job as covering it. The parafin is more clingy and stops the stuff washing off if it rains.

Fence it in with an ice rink and various commercial outlets. The tree will realise that it can't get any bigger and wither away. Once gone, you can you can use the space for a shopping mall!

I had to take down quite a few leylandii in my garden a couple of years ago. I dug around and chainsawed it to almost ground level then drilled them and poured neat bleach in the holes. I put upturned buckets over them and left them for a few weeks to keep the rain off. They died off perfectly and I've had no sproutings since.

Leylandii are not like most broad leaved trees and won't grow from the roots of a tree they grow from a node or internode, hence if you cut them down to ground level they will die anyway, unlike say a willow which will grow like feck.
