    hi guys ive been new here this week, are there no tasks for the weekend?
  • ammonite the idea is we have the weekend off, thats why the lists are just weekdays. However...it doesn't work like that for some of us, so do what works for you.

    Got to the bottom of Mt. Ironmore, put all the clothes away, off to tackle Mt. Markmore!

    Oooh I am pleased to tick off one of the long standing things on my list of things to do

    In fact 2 things ticked off

    I have finally cleared the bottom of the garden, emptied all the old containers and chucked away the rubbish and poped the rest into the recycling and another tree stump

    Its ready now for the final clearance - dig up the last shrug, take down the 2 trees and then dig over and sort out the sleepers for edging - yip yip yipeeee!

    I potted on the massive tray of seedlings for the winter veg and am pleased about that as I've put it off for weeks, also planted up the gereba's, all ready to go now!

    Very pleased indeed considering how much its rained today and dodging the rain showers listening the the world cup on 5Live - v.enjoyable!

    Just the ironing left and the bathroom to clean then done!

    Hi Guys

    I have no chance of catching up on the thread but gosh i have missed so much.

    Valli - I think we need to play catch up and make a date for a BB's coffee. Would be great to see you and you can fill me in on whats been happening on the thread. Mummy my darling you will be joining us too won't you?

    Sorry i have been absent. I have been flying in a fashion but if i come on here too much i read and don't clean so i have decided that i am cleaning the PC first.
    I started with the facebook Cull and got rid of all the people i no longer wish to have on there, and that got me back into the cleaning mode.
    I will start posting from tonight as i really do miss you guys xx
    Love to all x

I managed to get to the tip and get rid of some really annoying rubbish that's been around for ages which is great! I'm going to now clean the bathroom up and as my reward have a nice hot bath with a good book!!! Shame it's Monday tomorrow and work beckons!
