Chuffed!!

[undercarriage plan]

Well, am dancing with joy here!! Just got back from School strokey beard meeting, and have finally persuaded the Head and Governors to give our Gardening CLub a lovely big piece of land to make a kitchen garden, and have got the go ahead to organise a Garden raising weekend!! Whehay! Where poor badgered parents come in for the day/weekend and clear it all ready for the little darlings to plant up! Even got them to set the date, will be fobbed off no more!! Am so chuffed, have been trying for months..... ;D ;D ;D

Nicely! We start our school gardening club on Thursday by digging up a fair part of the footy pitch!

[redimp]

Well done.  :)

I aim to get one going where I work.   ???

Bet your popular ,TM!! And Redclanger why the long, strangely yellow, questioning face?

[redimp]

One of those things that I am finding very difficult to fit in, but one of the things I would like to fit in most.

Must be harder for you cos I imagine you have fairly daunting work schedule. Best way, in my book anyway, is to close eyes and jump in! Subtley ask Parents who likes  gardening, then put them down as helpers,  ;D just start club, make huge announcements, then hide for few weeks in shed and take it from there. We've been growing veg in 1ft dirt round the edge of school!! Rather badly, I have to say, but it still grew...ish....kinda  ::) ;D ;)

[redimp]

I would but the school shed roof leaks  ;D

Lottie, I've been getting very angry letters from parents in Suffolk asking me to kill this thread  ... they seem to think they have to participate in their childrens education, how should I respond ?    :P

[Derekthefox]

Well done, does that mean more work for you  ;D

Thanks!! And yes, more work for me, though unpaid!!! Have had slow realization that I now have this event to plan for, and really not a clue as to plan "Events"! Can dig, yes, can point and say "shift that, please.." could be an interesting weekend....Must be mad! Aiken, you have no idea who I am, never heard of me .... she says whilst hurriedly booking ticket to Mongolia.... ;D
