    4. Clean the bathroom Done and it looks good

    DH has requested that I tell you that he does nearly ALL the cooking and that he is positive that I will really enjoy the fishing trip tomorrow [we did walk round the pits where he will be fishing yesterday and saw a Kingfisher and a Grass Snake, it is a lovely place and I'm going prepared with books and my MP3 player] :rotfl:And apparently I have said that I would enjoy it and that I was looking forward to it - do I see beer coloured glasses on him!!!

    Hi everyone! Sorry I've not been on sooner but I've been working hard honest guv! DH has had the day off and we've been trying to tackle the flat. I've done quite a bit off my nursery slopes five a day list (well actualy DH has done some of it as I stuck it to the fridge and I think it motivated him!) plus we've dealt with the stuff from the car and had a bit of a clean up/tidy up under the bed altho there is A LOT more to do under there but that's for another day.

    In between I've been asleep as I kept coming over all funny. Felt a bit better after my sleep so I got the gravel out of DH's truck to put in the bottom of my new pots for the garden - I must have caused lots of amusement for the neighbours as I couldn't lift the sack and had to drag itt across the road and across the grass to where the planters are! I need DH to put the gravel in the pots or I need to find something to decant it into so I can put in the planters myself. Need to think about that.

    Hope all are well, I'm going to catch up with the thread now.

    ETA: Soappie - am about to email you again

    Open the bag across the top and get an old jug/cup or something and scoop it out with that straight into your pots. You've done loads :T
