    I like Diarmuid. He's cute, in a scruffy sort of way.

    That's what I did

    If you don't want to do it, get your lady tester to do so.

    20k for a garden design??? They saw you coming

    Having spent about 1 minute enjoying my bank statement on Thursday evening, which looks somewhat healthier than last year, and receiving the news of a new contract, Lady Tester announced that she had visited the show gardens of a ‘garden designer’. A Dutch gardener, who takes his inspiration from said Irishman, was to visit Tester House on Friday with a design and a quote. Now I like my modern design, and even enjoy a bit of abstract modern art sometimes, so the aesthetics didn’t disagree with me. But the f**king price of it!

    20,000 euros doesn’t get you much except for a turquoise miniature concrete cooling tower just off centre and a square ‘pond’ big enough for two very intimate goldfish. Want plants? 3500e Extra. Want a place to sit? 5000e Extra. Fancy a pergola? Forget it.

    Why can’t women just stick to shoes and handbags instead of landscape art gardens?

    Can we just shoot garden designers and landscapers on sight?
    Can't you just become an MP and get it all done for nowt?? Or have things changed??

    Gardening? I like gardening almost as much as I like football.

    That's what I did with Moben.

    Got their kitchen designer in for an hour or so, put up with the hard sell, then took his designs down to Wickes.

    Similar kitchen, less than a quarter of the price fully fitted.
