    Not much flying done so far this week apart from daillies. Aiming for a catch up tomorrow.

    Afternoon off work this afternoon as took advantage of the fine and not freezing weather to pot up some free plants and some I bought. All going well so far in the garden and I've made a plan to sort out the back and make a veg plot and a table and chairs area

    Just need to find some sleepers now then give it a go!

    Sweet peas are growing nicely from seed which surprised me as I didn't think they would germinate. My Christmas pressie growhouse kindly put together by my brother has done a great job so far. It has terrible reviews online but as he managed to put it together (it took ages but he didn't complain!) and I treated it. It's doing well.

    Have just been researching some recipes to use up some ingredients

    self saucing chocolate pudding
    millionaires shortbread
    thai green curry
    apple charlotte

    yummy!

    Have they been sabotaging your attempts to post? They are buggas for that... we should take it up with the management!!

    I put stuff being collected in the hallway when they say they are on their way.. I don't like people in my house either.
