    I do hate change - the message box is the wrong size too!

    Potatoes are planted, and DH is welding me a frame for a climbing rose. Can't go outside though - I hate the sound of metal being cut.

    We're back :T:T:T:T:T:T:T
    So what was the point of switching the 'thanks' and 'quote' buttons:confused:

    Glad the meet went well and thanks for the photos (that was the only benefit of facebook and yahoo) Oh, thought of another - facebook is a closed group so anyone who wanted to ask about something private wouldn't need to worry about 'visitors'.

    Still this is home :j

    Toots - can I have another star please? :D Wednesday is now done...

    I had a lovely walk with my friend while her daughter and another friend went for a ride. We walked 5 miles at a fairly leisurely pace, then had a picnic lunch sitting outside the horsebox in the sun looking over the village from the downs.

    It's clouding over now, but my duvet and mattress topper are on the line, one load of washing is dry, and another is in the machine (fingers crossed I'll be able to get it mostly dry on the line today).

    My brother was going to come over this evening but isn't, which is a bit of a relief as I haven't got his Easter eggs and his fiancee's birthday present sorted yet, and there's no way I've got room in the garage for my kayak until it's had a bit of a clean! I'm going to go over there on Wednesday for supper instead (so free food too!). If I need to do any extra shopping, I can do it tomorrow as I'm working from home.

    Updated list below - I don't think I'll get much done as I have to start baking again for the next cake sale! The kitchen, utility and bathroom will probably get a S&S, but I don't think I'll manage more than that. And I clearly need to catch up on my physio... I haven't been very good at doing it this weekend :o

    It seems they are going to change the thanks and quote button back round.

    And you can add to ^^^ thread anything else you find that is wrong.

    Toots :- all lists done on Saturday for the whole week.

    Thanks to those on yahoo

    Oooh how exciting! I wonder what happens when we become 'friends'.... Time to investigate I feel...

    yet more procrastination, oh dear. Must do a HHC later on.
