Well, looks like I'm well out now. Even if only one person signed up per day for the next two weeks I still be outside that with a guess of 18th May. It'll fall within the week now I expect.
Bonsai was meant to keep me away from the computer.

I don`t think the other members will be that rapt in a second guess. I can see now why PUP made the comments he did. :lost:
I think Steven needs to get involved with this,as he has gone back on his original rules,nothing to do with me, I only built the thing. Not Mojo`s problem either.

Whoops, guess I'd better pull my foot out of my mouth. Looks like I didn't read the rules I had written before I posted that glenn, Mojo and Gerard could guess again. Sorry fellas!

Only 1 guess per member regardless of the circumstances.

If they have the trouble I am having lately, those that posted june have a better chance of winning. I just tried to log on waited 57 seconds then got the OOPS could not connect.

Tried again same result being a patient man( :lol: :lol: :whistle: ) I tried again got on but it take me 20 seconds between pages. This might not even make it as it has happend twice today.


Getting this posted before I get bumped.

A patient Pup :lol: :lol: :whistle: :palm: :tounge:

Oh but Steven I swear that 2nd guess has only been trunk chopped and had root work done, I never pruned the branches at all...... :lol: it's all a bit of fun really.
