I love the big package. They will swarm all over your place and give you their cell number for emergencies. I am happy with them. But I'm new using them so check if anybody is not, but I think they really have stormed the market. trim bushes, inside/outside pest control. Jesse, a supv. has studied plants and loves to talk about ph, what will grow well, pests, etc. they also landscape if you want a project done.

Is their big package that gives us 14 months for the price of 12 a good idea? Thanks for any suggestions.

I just signed with Stellar after firing Sterling. I got the mowing package for $650/13 months which is what I was paying with Sterling. I called the co for an estimate and the rep was out the next day which was a Thursday. He said he would try to get the team to the house on Friday and if not possible would be here Monday. They showed up Monday morning and the yard looks pretty good. They cut it a little short for my taste but I wasn't here to tell them how I wanted it cut so I'm not unhappy. The rep also told me that I can add any of the services whenever I want but for now I'm going to do the fertilization, etc on my own.

Hope this helps!

It is with great sorrow that I announce that our neighbors from across the pond (Junction29) otherwise known as Sir John & Lady Wendy Andrews and HRH Millie left for the auld sod this afternoon at approximately 2:00.

I personally will sorely miss Sir Johns cracking sense of humor and highjinks and Lady Wendy's clips about my head and shoulders. Heaven only knows what my behavior will be after she's gone to keep me in line in public!

We in GillyLand are, however, a hardy bunch and will try to struggle on whilst our friends and comrades are absent....anyone up for a party????

Comment about a party made me smile. Glad that I'll be joining such a hardy bunch.

Hi Guys,
Still suffering from leaving stress and jet lag.

We are all missing you guys probably more than you are missing us

Mr Mayor and A4 please give the Mums a very big hug from us and tell them we will be back talking to them in that funny accent they can't understand but like the sound of anyway as soon as we can.

We are up for the idea of a big 'gillybration' when we get back, but insist that you get in lots of practise before we return.

On an upbeat note, when our son arrived to pick up Millie from UK immigration (she traveled the day before us), they had already let her out of her travel box and given her the run of the reception office, where she was busy greating the visitors to the office, no doubt wondering where the hell we were and when we were coming to pick her up!

We landed in the UK to a bright sunny spring day, but within 4 hours, the rain started and it hasn't stopped for two days - oh to be home in the sunshine

Thank goodness we have a lovely home and our family and friends in the UK to come back too or we really would be depressed.

Right that's enough depression for one day - off to the nearest golf course today to buy some golf clubs to keep up the practice and looking forward to seeing you guys again real soon - Andy Wendy Millie

As the GillyCruisers put it so eloquently;

"Keep the left arm straight, head down and follow through!"

to the mayor for starting this amazing thread!
Hi to everyone in Gillyville! I've been here 6 weeks and as someone put it, "still have my head in a box." Soon, I'm having a small practice party with a few old and newly met singles, and after that, I'll host a bration at my house!

We wondered why we haven't seen that much of you --- you've had your head in the proverbial box!!! Glad you're getting settled. We are all excited for a "bration".
