thanks everyone.
took my cat to the vet, he's got some sort of infection and dehydration. he didn't eat or drink for at least 24 hours and was dry retching, he had two injections (£44 not bad at all) (antibiotics and anti-sickness) hes just come in from the vets and drunk lots of water so i think hes feeling a bit better already. poor old thing, hes 17! xx

today i am going to make some raised beds in my concrete back yard. i have worked out where there will be most sun and i will have to do a right angled bed, and im going to make it about 70cm high. i want to grow fruit canes and rhubarb. im getting the wood free from two sources, the topsoil free from another source and iv got my wormery to make compost, im getting the worms free from another source. better get cracking. cant wait to see things growing out there xx

i built one and a half raised beds, going to finish the job today because the top soil is only on offer until this evening, girl on a mission. will post a pic when they are done. im thinking of sunflowers and raspberries to keep me spurred on xx

i finished two raised beds, got one more built which is just waiting for painting and filling with soil. im so chuffed with them, i feel a bit superhuman :j going to tackle lots of little things today (as well as think CHILDREN day and clean like flylady), heres my list:

put up cd shelves
ebay for 10 days
paint planter and hose down back yard
tidy the shed
do hokey cokey laundry
tidy the shelves in the front room (put the shelves up then just chucked everything on them to do hoovering)
plan what im going to plant in my planters
clean out car

right, just gotta nip into a phonebox somewhere, put my lycra jump suit on and get superhumaning again x

Blimey woman, can I have some of your energy please?!

We built raised beds last year for veg, one hint - don't grow broccolli! Ours grew so tall that it fell over and blocked the path down the side of the summer house! None of the others plants stood a hope, poor things.
Definitely something about this weather that makes you want to clear the garden though, I try to avoid the shed, I dread what I'll find....

Hope you got everything done and feel really good about yourself. :j

I have enjoyed looking through your thread and although havent read it all I have to say I am similar in 90% of your list also:

1. FINANCES -I do have small savings just under 1k and this is not nearly enough as I am trying to OP on my mortgage to finish it early

2. HOME - each room in my house is mostly a dumping ground, any flat surface gets filled and my room is a chinese laundry. I could startat room 1 but by the time I get them all done, room 1 needs doing again!
I want to paint my kitchen and my bedroom and then sort the boys rooms out.

3. RELATIONSHIP -single and wanting to stay that way for a while yet

4. CHILDREN - children arent bad but I really must do more things with them personally. I dont give them enough time ashamedly

5. WORK - looking to get a job nearer to home. have started home learning accounts and hoping to go down that route for a better paid career

6. HEALTH - I really should eat more healthier. The kids eat fruit and veg each day but I only really eat one piece of fruit a day and sometimes veg and thats it. My iron count is low.

7. SPIRTUALITY "i am a bit lost with myself so want to find some meaning (outside my family) not sure how yet" - I am the same

8. FRIENDSHIPS - I let this slip as I am far too concerned about OPing and earning that little bit extra in the evenings, being a single parent means I dont get much me time to spend with friends but I should really invite them to mine more often

9. EDUCATION - as with work I am learning accounts and I am trying to study at least 5 hours a week but it gets put aside for too much time on here and review sites. I really must be more diligent and firm with my time in studying.



well there is my list all laid out and its quite shocking really when I read it back. in short I have no time for my family and friends, my house is a mess as well as my savings - boy do I feel much better now :mad:
