    only in so far as I can't run about like before so they are taking advantage.. but it won't last long because I will kill them!

    they aren't sleeping too well due to the heat either

    Not sure if I'll get to the bedding as I need to pack tonight for the weekend away and I'm getting a spray tan later on too. And my manicurist said I shouldn't do housework today so I don't damage my lovely pink nails!!!!:T Is that a good enough excuse?

    Need to go and buy insoles for the girls bridesmaid shoes and return some shoes to M&S too. Will do that while DD2 is at nursery.

    HHC later I think to make me sort the packing out.

    Garden watered and in true Dusty style gardening plans for the autumn are being formed in the grey matter.

    Feeling a bit blur, have earache and feel a tad warm so I think I'll pace myself.

    HHPaperwork next for me.

    Hi Dusty

    Looks like your having the same sort of day as me! And I also planned what is moving where in the Autumn :D I think it's that time of year - stuff isn't quite looking as good as it was in the borders, and some plants are outgrowing their welcome, while others have finished and flopped...

    How am I doing?
    List for today:

    [STRIKE]* Plant beans
    * Water plants in garden (lots of them)[/STRIKE]
    * Do urgent paperwork
    * Buy a present on Amazon for godson
    [STRIKE]* Hang up washing
    * Usual wipe round kitchen[/STRIKE]
    * Write a shopping list
    * Do the shop and put it away
    * Get the wasp nest in my garage destroyed (coming early afternoon)
    * Leave the house at 3:00pm at the latest
    * Not back till mid-evening

    Found there were 5 trays of beans - 60 plants! They're yellow podded French beans. We already have purple podded and two types of green podded; plus runner beans. Hmm. Guess what we'll be eating this Summer/Autumn? :o

    Cup of tea with some paperwork, I think - then shopping list.

    Will try to start at 12:00noon and work till 1:00pm. Kettle calls....

    MissH
