    It’s been a fairly busy week, I popped out today and got some garden bits in Poundland pots to grow veg etc. I’ve also already splashed out lots of my birthday money on a robot hoover 😱 best friend has had one for ages (Boris) and says it’s great and my mum has just got one (Doris) so we have Morris arriving Sunday 😆 I’m not usually one for such frivolous items or any kind of tech really but I’m sick of going round my floors multiple times a day as people keep dropping bits of fluff or crumbs, it’s become a lockdown obsession clearly I have too much time on my hands and will soon have even more 😂

    Of course you did I forgot! I was torn with the wet or dry version but went with dry as it said the wet wasn’t suitable for carpet and I going to plonk him on the top floor sometimes 😆 Glad Robbie is working out well, I’m so excited it’s due tomorrow!

    Hi orangetoes and jessy 😊
    Morris arrived yesterday and is fantastic! He can get under our very long table with many chairs and also all around the bins and cat littler tray very well which I didn’t expect, it’s money well spent 😬 
    I planted some seeds yesterday which I’m starting off in the conservatory, I’ve  never been successful yet and usually end up binning them and buying plants from the garden centre but you never know 😆

    Happy belated birthday wishes newgirly. I have high hopes for my seeds too and hoping to avoid an expensive emergency trip for established plants later in the season! There's been a good gardening show on tv with car0l kl3in which has been helpful, you might find it on catch up if you've not seen it.

    Midge (preceded by Mary and Mungo) says hello to Morris and Robbie ;). I hope you have stuck eyes on him so he can see where he is going?

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Hi GG how are you? Well I hope 😁 Morris says hi to Robbie and Midge, he doesn’t have eyes yet but will be growing some, we discussed it last night as he keeps bumping into things 😆

    Hi Cath, I’ve seen her on the early Sunday morning gardening show I wonder if that’s the one you mean? One of my jobs at work used to be sewing together gardening magazines and 9/10 had her on the front cover so I feel I know her well 😬
