Bank holiday weekend "What small dfw things have you done???" thread

Pips_Mum

Hello All
Happy Sunday!

Andan - Garden looks good as does your 1001 list

Pips Naming Ceremony was really nice and everyone, well nearly everyone, enjoyed themselves.Thanks for your messages x x
MIL kind of ruined it though as she sat and glared at all of our guests hogged Pip so others couldnt see him even people that had travelled long distances, and generally made an awkward a**e of herself and made others feel uncomfortable until OH had to take Pip from her and take her outside and they had a huge argument. You would have thought that just for 1 day she could have been happy not to be centre of attention:mad:

Today I have/ will:

• Storecupboard tea as per menu plan
• Scratchees and clicks
• Survey
• Hokey cokey and line dry
• Walk to Nans for exercise and fresh air for Pip
• Opened Pips presents, £150:eek: in money and lots of nice cards and presents
• Peeled sellotape off of presents wrapping paper so I can reuse it
• Lots of Hugs for OH who is feeling down about his mums behaviour yesterday
• Use free texts to thnk friends who were good to us yesterday:A
• Pack for our Frugal trip to Devon tomorrow, not sure we will fit all of Pips junk in the car!!:rotfl:

All for now, hugs to all x x

did washing up
did the laundry
checked online banking
up-dated personal profile info on survey websites

HI
all

Yeah SM I think I need to avoid the mainland - two horrible bugs one for each trip - just shows you how isolated we are here - you will have to watch out when you get your little cottage - you will be in your own little isolated micro-climate
ps I hope you saw the newly installed blankie in the Darwin beast on my diary

Andan some folks do two tomatoes to a bag some do 3 - (SM? you grow in grow bags don't you??) So If you are happy to go with that - that works

The bush ones I just usually grow in big pots 3-5ltrs - but thats just me 1 to a pot

Hello to all
grr to mil pips mum xxx dont let it spoil things enjoy devon

Lovely DFW day here - DD and I had a trip out in the campervan - we couldn't decide where to go so we flipped a coin at every junction - not far to any beaches here so we ended up out by a place called the Brough of Gurnsey - found a couple big bits drift wood (for the fire) so that was great and feasted on lemsips - hot chocolate and instant noodles (10p packs from asda) after a nice long walk with the doggies

DD has a pal here
DS has a pal here too = I am off to hide in the greenhouse.

Just potted up some tomatoes into big pots (my own seed) and caught several slugs
Also potted up lots of baby geranium cuttings for summer pots

Tent is out in the garden - first time up this year = so that will hopefully be fun

Brother gave me back £400 of the £600 he owes me so I might be able to pay the rent
