    Well I am quite happy with progress so far for me :o I have mowed weeded and tidied the front garden. Even ventured into a bit of topiary for my plants by the door and swept up the mess. Back garden is on the plan for tomorrow but I did make a start on the weeding. Inside nothing much yet but the day is still young need to do some work for a bit now.

    Lamewolf - I would like to tell you what Spike is but I fear there would be not enough characters in the post to tell you all his ancestors. He is a very hairy very cute teddy bear the size of a cocker spaniel (maybe a bit bigger) with the face of a cairn terrier. One day I will try to work out how to post a picture for you

    Valli - Good luck with your new man its always so lovely in the early days isnt it :)

    Sorry I don't answer everyone I am trying to get a grip of how this works. Right off to get some stuff done. Have a lovely afternoon everyone

    Thanks
