    Had an email from my lecturer at college with graduation details. I am hoping that means I have passed my MA, either that or it is a very sick joke. I have sent a cheeky email asking so hopefully I will hear soon

    I've not done much so far this morning apart from shower, get dressed and nip to the garden centre for compost and canes

    Just trying to summon some motivation up to make a start on the humungous list - will have a go after the GP qualifying ends and drag myself up off the sofa

    Hiya! I have been away ages!!!!!!! Sorry about that..........been doing lots of voluntary stuff and out in the garden, I seem to MIA during the better weather months.

    Everything is fine, had a bug a little while ago but I think I caught it from one of the people at work, they have been doing the rounds like wildfire.

    Got more voluntary stuff coming up as well............seems to increas this time of year as well!

    I havent got a gleaming house but it isnt minging and am slowly working my way through the lists today. Planning to paint the fence tomorrow if the weather is ok and we are out Monday.

    Hope everyone is well and happy.

    1 step xx

    Fingers crossed for good news.

    Had a coffee with a friend and a wander round garden centre - didn't spend anything but was very tempted.

    We went a couple of years ago, just caught the tail end of the last tour so we missed quite a bit. It was interesting.
    You will be able to park close to the gardens and can use you scooter all the way around, check whether you can take it in the poison garden though as the paths were a lot tighter there.
    Ah, thanks for that, Poohbear.:) I shall wear something comfortable on my feet, and conserve my energy in that case, so as to be able to hobble round on my sticks if need be, as it's something I'll find really interesting.:)

    Ajmoney is it too early to offer congratulations?;)

    Oh, and well done to Miss A on scoring a goal.:T
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
