Morning all - hello starnac!

I've just done an invoice for that job (yippee!!!!!!) and the labour part of it is about £385 , I've paid my brother some money for helping out for a day and I've still a goodly chunk of that money left, which means we've made the flower income budget this month - well, I've not got a 'flower income budget/target' but if I had one, it would have made it from that!

And, it was just under budget - (£3) OK not MUCH under budget but not OVER budget - my guesstimation is getting better it would seem.

I've blogged about the job and how to plant a hedge - but not been specific about it being a job, iyswim. Which is great cos it adds to my 'how not to garden' informaton out there!

Hope you're all OK - doing ebay listing and got a few more orders - given the bank holidays - I can't post until tuesday so I get a few days off from the post office.

Dragon BTW - my ebay name is the same as my blog name. You'll find me under that I'll email you too - don't suppose they'll like if I post the name on here, my homepage on here links to the blog - so my name is easily found out! I don't have a shop - I'm just listing what I've got when I've got it.

However, great news here is that I talked to a web designer yesterday and we're (well she's) working on a proper site for me. How scary. Thinking up a name. Don't want to use my ebay name as I'm not always going to be in the land of the wind.....................I've a couple of ideas but they all seem a bit lame.

fab news about the invoice. good guesstimating too. always better to be under budget than over it.

:j:j:j To billing your first proper paid gardening job :j:j:j

And well done on the guesstimating

Lets hope that they recommend you to more people so that you can build up a nice little business there :cool:

ebay drving me crackers

Argh - why will it try and foil my plans to do some quick listings???

yahoo indeed - I'll be popping back to the garden in a couple weeks see how its gone and hope she's happy.

I'm happy too as alot of plants winging out in the post - and the window sills are beginning to be a bit less groany.

I hope you're all good

What plans for the weekend???

Lemon_Tree

well done for getting your invoice done, sending vibes for uber quick payment.
Mr LT is back at work today for 12 hrs I'm trying to get on top of the laundry including the lving room curtains. I love sunny weather when i can get all the curtains washed. I'm a throw back i guess.
got to source a new curtain pole for the living room and then head out and buy it.
i planted some more seeds on thursday, mild chilli's, the long red peppers, aubergine, courgettes - green and yellow. Figure this weekend the temps will be high enough to help germination.

what have you got planned for this sunny weekend Pippi?
