      @@bigbarnlittlehouse7013 the extravagant spending really annoys me. I want to see content that is relatable, something the average person can afford or do. I used to love Justin Rhodes and now it just doesn’t appeal to me. They just spent god knows how much on renovation for a new kitchen last year and now they are ripping it all out. I like the guy and his family but it really seems like the money has gone to their heads. More more more!

      If you don't plant the three sisters or a version of the likes. you could under sow the area with a green manure mix, adding a cover crop to the ground, not only water retention but also adding plant matter to the plot. Works like a champ for me.

    Well done Meg on successfully completing your secret mission.
    Love to you all as usual xxxx
    P.S Ben whenever anyone asked me how old my Dad was I always replied 36 - then one day I realised he couldn't be 36 because I was 21 😂 in my eyes he never aged. Having a young family keeps you young, I had my first son when I was 20 and my second and third son at 34 and 36, that definitely helped keep me young, just remember to look after yourself as well as your beautiful family and you will be as young as you want to be ❤❤

    I'm totally for the idea of skipping birthdays so we don't get to 40! Way to surprise him with the cake! Your daughter is so fun!
