    too early for me to be drinking scaredy - I'd be pished by 6 :rotfl:(anyway, on a diet so no alcohol at all)

    His DS has literally only just come back from uni last week (completed his degree) and lives at his mum's house so I very rarely see him. I have his mobile number, I know he is working all the shifts he can get at Tesco (he is going to Australia in October) but OH would go bananas if I asked him direct.

    The state of my garden would kill a retired gent :eek: It needs someone who does general garden clearing day in, day out as it is seriously a big job now and needs someone pretty fit.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Well done BB given the state of my garden I think you can be proud of yourself.

    I may be speaking out of turn (hasn't stopped me before), but if you will get criticised for what you've done and shouted at if you approach a (probably) skint student to do some gardening work for you, why are you with your OH? He just sounds like a drain on your self-esteem and a bit of a control freak.

    Apologies for bluntness!

    BB well done for the gardening:T I hope you were being mindful of your Back though:)

    We have a local gardiner that charges a flat rate of £10 per hour which I dont think is too bad, OH prefers to do ours but its handy to know he is available for any big jobs.

    Just about to have a roast chicken dinner (no rosties for me otherwise I will let the team down.....again:rotfl:)

    BB........have you shared your good news with the DC;)?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    That's why I stopped in a way Lou - I have to be very careful with my back.

    £10 an hour....wish I were fit enough, I'd do it myself!!

    Good news?? erm.......not sure I have any? :huh:
