    Hope you all had nice brekkie

    I've gone off and helped plant trees this aM AND THEN HAD some time with OH and Ds and now getting head back into that pesky chapter!

    x

    Banking etc v tight - paid for all of the garden stuff up front and will have to wait until I've invoiced to get the money back - hey ho

    Moved polytunnel bits to a place for pick up by haulier - unfortunately despite our best intentions we can't get it shifted alone (too long)

    Ebay stuff sorted for posting tomorrow - all little seedlings doing fine - and everything trying to grow.

    Think I'll let these listings finish and concentrate on thesis and then go back to it after I've handed in (about a month to go).

    Lots still not done - but slowly getting there - scary though.

    Hugs to all - and happy mothers/lasses day to all us lasses (mummies or not)
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:

    Oooh, only a month to go Pippi! :j :j Wow - you're Sooooooo close! :T :T

    Hooray to moving polytunnel :D

    No special mothers day here :o (my mum informed me she had croissants in bed - made by herself - and my poor sister (who has 3 boys aged 5 and under) was going to have a lie in until the middle boy's tonsils swelled up and filled his entire throat and they had to take him to hospital :eek: - all ok now though :))

    As for me - normal day. Alternatively cheery and glum :o feeling creative and also overwhelmed :o

    Keep going though pippi, soooo close! :T :T

    Pippi, not long left. Sounds like lots going on there. Hooray to the polytunnel being moved but PAH to having to use a haulier.

    Ebay - rubbish I sold 3 things today and made a grand total of £4.42 and one of those things is a really pretty little side table that sold for 99p because my reserve figure didnt work for some reason :( Oh well, it all adds up and Mr C consoled me by saying that at least somebody is paying us to declutter our house :) Slowly does it I guess.

    hope you've had a good day Pippi and got done what you needed to get done. I've been suffering from the evil witch today, but still met Mr LT at the lottie. He's done lots of hard work and dug a lovely huge bed which is now full of the garlic and onions which have been growing in the greenhouse. sounds like i could have saved myself from doing any watering as it sounds like it's now pouring outside, at least they'll get a nice bedding in.
