Morning all,

That's very odd getting the report, could it be somebody new to the boards do you think who didn't know what or where to click and pressed the report button , does it just report or does it take you to a bit to say why your reporting it , I've never done a report so have no idea what happens , hope it's sorted so we don't lose all the old posts.
Lovely bright morning son ,dil and Lewis were here early to help put the canopy on and the cover on the greenhouse and they have just left to go shopping .
We have to get the runner beans planted but we're just having a coffee first .

Enjoy your coffee with your friend Ann hope you an find the plant at the garden centre that you want .

Ann the thought has crossed my mind that, could it be anything connected to Jane. somebody maybe not coping with seeing her name on there. But if that was the case why would they be looking at the thread at all?

Morning all and a special hello to Elizabethofseasons as I forgot to say so yesterday,

My hips today are letting me know they don't want to do any gardening today bless them they did so well yesterday back and forth around the garden bending and pushing the wheelbarrow. I shall have to see but need to take advantage of the nice weather as things in this garden soon get away with you.

Its 11 degrees here with blue sky and this white cloud to the north and a very high pollen count. My Laurel hedge still stinks as its in full flower but the bees and butterflies love it.

I think the bonfire may still be going a bit this morning because I put all those grass clippings on it, well not clippings but the stuff from the scarifyer off the two front lawns andwhere he has dumped the front field grass is something I hav'nt found out yet.

Morning All,

Sunny again! I'm off to meet a friend for a coffee at a garden centre soon and to see if they have the Camellia I want.

I didn't realise it was so recent so that is a bit odd then AnnG and it isn't likely to be an accidental thing with Jane's post being reported as well.

Good morning all. lovely sunshine out there still only 1 degree. Because it is so cold overnight it takes quite a while to warm up out there. It must be cold for those going off to work in the mornings. I used to leave home just after 0730. Seems strange now, I am rarely dressed by then.
Ann, the thread was only marked for review in Mel's first post on Sunday. There was nothing on that post , or, I think, on Jane's posts before that. I often open up onto the start of the thread before clicking to go to the end, I'm sure that I would have seen it before if it was done earlier.
I don't know if they would take any notice of anyone else emailing them except the original poster. I might try though. It would not be the end of the world if we lost the thread but would be a pity.

Evening All,

Another sunny day. We are being so spoilt before the promised rain arrives mid month.

The reports, whenever they were made, were on 15 year old posts on the thread, not reporting the thread itself and were just after you decided to start the thread again Mel. Even Jane's only comment I can see about the reporting was at the same time, 15 years ago as well. Maybe an explanation is that your post was reported then, GR reinstated it and since then someone else didn't like the post for some reason and it has been reported again or accidentally reported as AnnG suggested?? :-S

You got quite a few of your miniatures made Mel. Do you get customers that are regular?

I didn't get on very well today. The squatting slightly weeding yesterday made my knees ache, so I gave the garden a miss today. I popped to the shop then called at the bathroom place and couldn't find the coloured samples I was interested in and a helpful lady said they 'walk' and gave me a knowing look, but gave me the company phone number so I can request samples from them. I thought I'd just check what the sink and vanity units I've whittled down looked like again, only to find some have disappeared and they have another new catalogue out with different ones and some of the ones from the old catalogue are still for sale in the showroom. How confusing!!!

The schools here break up on this Friday too. It must look lovely in DIL's house with all the flowers Mandy and someone is going to be busy topping up the vases. It's a good job you were able to pass some vases to her after going through your own.

It took both of us to wheel the garden bin on the front as it is crammed full and the drive has quite a slope. Do you all get the same instructions that the bins have to be left on the edge of your property with the bin handles pointing to the road like we do? Also the lids must be fully closed.

Mel, I am confused. You don’t need your password. Just go into your emails as you do when you are sending something to us. Put the address you’ve been given by Von in the To: section and then put in a subject as normal and whatever you want to say. It is just an ordinary email you are sending.

I had a message from a Von telling me another support email so I tried it but it won't accept my password.

I can’t see any reason why this thread should be reported, hopefully they will sort it out soon. I too can remember the phantom reporter, did anyone ever find out who was doing it?

AnninGlos

AnninGlos Report 7 Apr 2025 16:06

Hello Elizabeth. Pleased that you enjoy the posts and it is good to see you on here. Hope that you are well.

Vera, It is so annoying when the bed gets forgotten. I am feeling pleased with myself as this morning I managed to get a duvet cover onto the spare duvet for the put u up. Being not very tall it is easy to get taken over by the duvet :-D

They have been known to just delete a thread when there is a review request Vera so I hope they don't do that..

I would be interested to know what the reporter gave as his/her reason for requesting a review but Genes are unlikely to tell Mel that. I just hope Genes look at it properly and don't just decide to whoosh it anyway.

It's another blue sky and sunshine day, though there is still a bit of a chilly breeze. I've done all the washing that had been piling up and a bit of housework, including steam cleaning the kitchen floor, but haven't got around to gardening and am feeling a bit weary now.

Thanks for the advice about the phygelius spreading Annx. It will be fine in the pot I've put it in for this year and next year I'll put it in a very large one. I've got a big one that had a buddleia in it so that should do fine.

Those tiny clay pipes sound very fiddly to make Mel. You'll have to send us a photo if you manage to do them.

Cold chicken and salad for us tonight so a nice easy meal. Oops, I am getting forgetful. I've just remembered that I stripped my bed this morning and I haven't remade it. Better go and do that now before I forget again.

I have only just read your posts and I can't find where to get in touch with GR. I see there are lots of posts from Jne that have neen requested to review.

I did put on there that why is my thread requested to review. It said answers within so many days.

AnninGlos Report 7 Apr 2025 09:47

I just noticed that. I think somebody might have made a mistake but I hope it doesn't mean the thread will automatically be cancelled. Maybe Mel needs to email support.

Our schools break up on 11 April (Friday) As I think do Hampshire schools.
