Ivy?

Just realised I was looking at the wrong bit - sorry!

I too read the first item as frongs, which is no help, as there is no such word either in English, or in the three other languagues I speak.

Couldn't resist reading the rest of the list and now I cannot stop wondering what you had to do at Asda and what pebble plaints are?

Try to stop thinking about it and go and do something of the things you can decipher - then perhaps the first item will occur to you.

Could you enlighten us?

Still no wiser……been busy, but it is still bugging me, but fyi, I need to return a top to Asda Living and Pebble Plants, is to put pebbles on top of the compost in a couple of planters outside as the Birds (or worse) are digging in them!!

Frongs
Ivy
Butter
Cushions for Ketche
Cushops
Asda return
Pebble planks

It makes perfect sense! 😂

You can clearly type- maybe use the notebook on your phone and then you will be able to read it?

Kateykrunch Mon 15-Apr-24 15:54:05

OH MY GOODNESS……I’ve got it………..It is FRONGS probably meant fronds. See image……I was trying to remind myself to look up the strange, horrid FRONG things on my garden plant as Hubby says they are normal, but I think they are strange. I have just had to walk through the house and retrace my before toast actions to ‘remember’ what I needed to remember but couldnt remember!!! Thanks for your lovely input lol.

welbeck Mon 15-Apr-24 15:55:59

the curse of the frong !
coming soon, in a movie theatre near you, cert X.

Well it does look like 'frongs' to me Katey; does that make any sense to you?

Gosh you were correct, and the first one lol.

Callistemon21 Mon 15-Apr-24 16:05:39

I can't see anything wrong with your frong, Kateykrunch

There might be a toad lurking underneath, though!

Mizuna Mon 15-Apr-24 17:25:15

Ooh, I've got a pot full of Frong plants on my patio and had no idea! 😂

BlueBelle Mon 15-Apr-24 17:32:12

Frongs are they what you wear to match your bras

Kateykrunch Mon 15-Apr-24 18:04:53

Callistemon…Oh my, no Toads, I hope.
Mizuna… There you go, now you know.
BlueBell. How rude, (I’m joking) but I’m a double mastecomy!! and wear biiiggggg knicks lol.
Welbeck….I’m not going to watch that, too scarey!!, but wonder what you mean about me being younger that you??
Keepingquiet…yes, can clearly type, but can clearly not remember as I often text myself things to remember but forget to look, no hope lol.
Thanks all for the input and giggle x

from your script, the formation of esp the letter r, i never saw when i was at school.
i have since noticed younger people do it.
i presume through using a ball-point pen, there is no vestigial distinction between up strokes and down strokes.

welbeck Mon 15-Apr-24 19:43:11

anyway, glad the riddle of the frong has been solved.
take care.

I've enjoyed reading this thread Katiekrunch😄 and all the contributors.
Forthwith I shall use your lovely word frongs for a lapse in memory. So much better than senior moment.

Namsnanny Tue 16-Apr-24 12:11:37

Or possibly a substitute swear word for when I forget something eg 'Oh Frongs, where are my keys!'😄
