Hopes and dreams for a new home...

I love the planted basket, I wish I could make my baskets look prettier but haven't quite got the hang of it!

Thank you.

We've spent the day clearing the loft out ready for the move and the rest of the day in the garden digging and potting some plants I want to take with us.

I've just looked at my lovely garden and thought I can't believe I'm leaving this behind. Pity I can't take it! I just can't wait to go now though.

We had a lovely evening last night watching 24 as we got the little ones in bed early so hopefully another night of that so we can watch some more! We're loving 24 at the moment and it saves buying a dvd.

G'd Morning!

Hopefully a sunny day today, one wash out already and another in the machine now.

We are so busy at the moment as baby blue has suddenly not only got 2 teeth but has become very mobile!

I'm still packing the items away and I will take a picture of it all soon so you can see my chaos.

Money wise..I've made £20.04 profit on Sunday from ebay and another item sold last night which hasn't been paid for yet, that should be about £5. Hurry and pay I want it out of my house!

I've added some games on music magpie through TCB which will bring in £11. These have also been rescued from the loft.

I've emailed a local antique company to see if they want to buy 2 1930's/40's ceiling bowls that have been in my loft for years. I know they are worth about £20 ish each so hopefully they want to buy them from me. They won't sell on ebay.

I've now resorted to emailing 1 poll at the email address above (thanks Michelle ) I really can't be bothered with them anymore as it's deflated me a little not getting the referrals through.

Overall I've done really well selling stuff this month and getting other little bit of earnings coming through..just need that bit more though!

What is your garden like in the new place? It's a shame when you've worked so hard to establish a garden to have to start all over again. At least the weather is suitable for being out in the garden!

Well done on the ebay sales, I am waiting for someone to pay for stuff today so I can post the huge parcel that is sitting in my hall. I emailed onepoll a few days ago about a missing £2.50 - have had no response yet!

It's boring really. The whole house is. It's a big garden but with regimental grass, a huge hedge separating us and the joining next door, a little bit of decking and a shed.

I love my garden now and have a summerhouse, 2 decking areas joined together by a decking path and lots of plants and gravel. I took the grass as it wasn't worth having it in.

I've just put 2 pics on FB if you want to see although it was taken in October so won't look too good as no flowers are out on the picture.

I'll let you know if I hear anything about 1 poll.

Just looked, it's lovely and a space to be enjoyed. I would be out there all the time. You can re-create it in the new house though

Iris_Blue

Thanks. I did it 8 years ago when I moved in so I'd do it differently If I had to do it again.

We want a large summerhouse and a hot tub in the next one but we'll have to see when funds allow it.

Looks like its going to be a nice one here today! 3 washes out on the line now.

Hi Iris,

Think of your new garden as a fresh new canvas to work on. By the sounds of your previous garden in a few years you will have a lovely stunning new garden too!

Persevere emailing them. I was quite blunt and said, look i have really enjoyed your site, and as a result i have told my friends, and i will not be telling anyone else unless i get paid this money.

I also could tell them exact dates people had signed up, and their email addresses.

I have only had one friend referral bonus go through automatically since the change.

Just pester, and if all else fails pester them on their facebook page. They will do it, just i think a lot of people are whinging at them all the time about it being slow.

I don't know where all the time is going recently. We are just so busy. Yesterday we cleared the summerhouse out aka dumping ground, and threw away old tins of paint ( why do we keep them? ) and LOTS of general waste. The house is definitely looking the clearest it's ever looked..if you don't go into the dining room that is!

Excuse the gigantic pic I resized but it still showed up this big * scratches head *





( Don't ask why we have all those sugar puffs when only 2 of us eat them! )



Oh look this one resized properly ..you can see that anyway can't you!


The new house now has the sold sign on.:j

OH is feeling loads better and is ready for an interview next week. This is the one that he cancelled last Friday as it was too short notice. He's still a little up and down but he's definately improved on these tablets. I feel better too with more energy.

Baby blue had his first haircut on Tuesday - cut by me with the clippers :money:, he didn't even bother at the noise, he looks really grown up now. I ordered him his new car seat last night as my Tollunnna vouchers had cleared so £30 off at amaz8n making it £77 balance to pay. Car seats are so dear aren't they ? ..but better to be safe. It's the same car seat DD has so they will match plus its a brand I trust and I like the way it reclines when they are asleep. You gotta have comfort.
