Haven't started one of these in a looooooooong time:)

I guess change happens for a reason and I am in a much happier place than I was 2 years ago.

The members of the DC played such a big part in helping me to see the light at the end of the tunnel and for that I am forever greatful....

Too many of you to list but you know who you are;)

Much love and keep supporting each other, it really does make a difference xx

Morning all, what a lovely post to start the day

I don't seem to have stopped all weekend - mainly painting the bedroom and making cushion covers for the living room. Only in work 2 and a half days this week which is nice, looking forward to a little break!

Morning All

Happy Birthday Lou, and yes you are right the DC and people on here have certainly got me through some tough tough times over the last 4 years. I too am in a happy happy place and am thankful for my lot in life really.

Sun is out, sky is blue and I am stuck in work until 5pm today
Meeting the lady who is taking over my allotment Can't keep it when I move as I won't be in the area so hoping to sell off shed and raised beds which will pay for some new sofas etc for house. Then Mum and I are going to look at furniture in local auction when I get home...busy day!

LouiseJ

Did you manage to get B into a new school Sal?

Ooh Happy Birthday Lou! :beer:

Aw Sal, it's a shame about the allotment, lots of exciting times to come though.. does the new house have anywhere to plant things?

sallyx

No I haven't Lou...at the moment I shall be doing the 50 mile round trip to bring her back to school here. Ok on the days I am working 3 out of 5 but the other 2 I could really do without the hassle! Really really hoping that over the next couple of weeks they might suddenly have a space!

Squizz it is a shame about the allotment, but since ive been on my own its become a pratical impossibility to keep on top of it because I always used to spend 2-3 hour an evening there and I just can't do that now. The new house has a reasonable size garden and we have already been thinking about what we can plant and might even put in a few raised beds in the massive front garden that is pretty much unusable for anything else

Good morning

boy was I sore when i got up this morning , had to got back to bed with Painkillers, not moaning though had a fantastic day yesterday. Dh was actually suprised i went cause i'm a bit panicy with trains.

Nathan has just harvested, washed cleaned some of the onions he grew, he's chuffed to bits they look good too.

Got lots to do today, not so much housework, cause when i got home last night, dh had hoovered and washed all the floors, cleaned the stairs and hallway, so it was just put dishwasher on this morning, i need to hoover cause theres dogs hairs everywhere and tidy throws and cushions where the dog and kitten had a party last night. Other than that the house is quite tidy.

I need to tidy my bedroom where i was throwing stuff out of cupboards looking for a tidy pair of shoes i hadn't scuffed to peices to wear yesterday (which has now gone in the bin cause the heel came off them whilst i was out:()

Other than that its jewellery making for the big cheese

Just eaten my porridge and had a cup of coffee, before i start, might treat myself to another coffee while i'm working

Oh and happy birthday lou

Sally hope you get loads of money for your allotment stuff

sallyx

Thanks Claire...so do I.
Ok I paid £95 for shed and £135 for the raised beds (bought in March this year) do you think £60 for shed and £80 for raised beds is reasonable or too much? I want to get the most I can but equally I want her to buy them and not have to sort out another buyer. Oh and I'll throw in 2 compost bins with that too and the patio slabs I put down which were probably another £40
