Yo List,
As I spend the most of the year either at work or in the patch I
have to make amends to my poor long suffering spouse and children.I sent
them to the seaside for a couple of weeks during the summer.Cost, about
$600. But no thats not enough,now I have to take them to the caribean next
week for 3 weeeks.Cost, about $6000.During last summer her indoors says "the
living room needs decorating"."You pay for it and I'll do it"she says."Your
in the patch and it won't get done otherwise" Cost, about $100.Anyway she
painted the walls and it looks great.Then a neighbour comes round and
says"Oh that looks nice,what colour is it?" "Don't know I'll ask the man in
the shop" Wife goes to shop and asks.The reply comes back "Oh that colour is
called PUMPKIN". Yippee, my living room is painted PUMPKIN.Thank god it
was'nt squash.So if by any chance I grow a 1000lber it will have cost me $67
per lb before I even start on the patch.Every word of this is true.So what
is it going to cost some of you lot out there?.
