    You know when I first read your signature Jinky, I actually wondered if a Dazco was a sort of food or something.......not realising he was in fact a human being and the subject of your desires!
    That surely says it all about what your sig must have said!
    Still it is nice to see you so blissfully happy ;).

    You go easy, washing a thick dressing gown IMO weighs a ton when wet, please take care.

    Yes you are right, the fish did sell, I also sold other bits frpm the pond, ie pump, filter box, I freecycled the pond plants to a lovely lady for her wildlife pond on her allotment, we then spend the next hours wandering around my garden / grrenhosue chatting about plants, veg, frogs etc.

    I have now been removing the concrete pond, this involved me last weekend with a kango power driven hammer thingy, a 6 yard skip and various other bits and piece, it them progressed into a very nice young man to help me during the week (one of my contractors spare lads as they did last week have much work on) blimey he worked so hard and I really do mean that, any way concrete out, skip gone, 3 tonnes of top soil and infill soil delivered, OH and I moved that lot yesterday, and raked it level.

    Nice young man back next Saturday to put in some concrete path edgings, and top off a wall with coping stone, which I have to buy this week, plus 12 rolls of turf to buy and lay.

    To fund this I have been using my ebay money / car boot money, and raided my hol fund. I will just have to find more stuff to car boot to top hol fund up.

    The quote I had in to do all the work was nearly £600, I reckon I have so far spent about £200, so I am well happy, although it has taken longer than proper work men would have taken but they are fit hunky men normally, not menopausal, wrinkly , females like me!! mind you the men in the hire shop for the kango hammer reckon I am wonder woman, using the thingy they gave me, but then again they didn't see the bruises on my legs.


    ebbm get your youngster to write down all the things she 'hasn't done ' this hols, that might make her see what she has done, but you see what I mean, any thing she misses off the list you can gently remind her!!!

    Afternoon all

    One load of washing out on the line, not a bad day although bright rather than sunny.

    Dinner cooking now as DH came home earlier than expected, I was going to cook at teatime but I prefer to get it out of the way.

    Superbikes on television......great :(;)
