    Paula does your friend with the garden have a car? or do you have a friend who could take all the stuff there for you at a weekend or time that suited them?.
    hope the digging goes well. I think its a lovely way to get together with another family.
    Laura good luck with interview. let us know how you get on.

    Laura, good luck! Hope it goes really really well :)
    jo, sadly not, and the OH is getting annoyed with me shifting all this stuff down to someone else's, so I'd like to just kind of do it and tell him later...or not! It's all junk anyway, there's a big piece of kitchen sideboard that could be an outdoor table, and a bed headboard that could be painted with weatherproof paint and dug into the ground as a small fence or border, and one project we could do for free would be collecting shells and pebbles on the beach then putting them into some polyfilla in a plastic box leaving a hole for some string to go through, and pressing out when dry to hang up :) am looking around for free stuff to do as my friend's on her own with two young girls and on benefits, but I'm finding lots of stuff that can be adapted to use materials we already have. This is the 'high' end of my depression cycle I've just realised, when I start getting too many ideas and have the attention span of a fly, but I'm learning to push it through to the 'low' end so there's always something to do and keep going with. Sorry this is just babble, I'm thinking out loud, it helps me if nobody else lol! xx

    Morning!! I've been up since 6 :eek:.

    Pay day today (yay) so once I get dressed I'm gonna head up the town and get some food type stuff from the butchers. Gotta be there early unfortunately as he sells out quick!!

    Had some really good feedback on my waxing skill (the client plastered it all over facebook!!) so hopefully that means more business!!
