    Er ok then starnac.
    I actually love doing things like this but I need Mr C out of the way. He likes to keep things. Although I have managed to get into the room of doom now. There is stuff piled in other rooms :rotfl::rotfl: It is mostly Mr C's stuff and I will not get rid of anything of his as that is totally his call. I may need to coax him to think about whether he really needs the Orcadians that I just found from 1998! (Pippi, you will know what I am talking about there)

    Pippi, you are doing really well getting those cards down considering that you are doing a patchwork life. I am in awe!

    we had a short sharp shower so i rushed to get the washing in and on airers etc but then it's stopped and not come back again :(
    spent most of today sat outside potting on flowers, finally gotten around to the flowers we bought back at easter which were a little crispy, now they've a little more breathing space and lots of water. Also planted up lots of pots, 3 huge ones - peas & mangetout in one, 2 courgettes and some flowers in the second and just flowers in the third. Then got my bigger sized plant pots (not the posh ones IYKWIM) and they have now got either toms or courgettes in them. Still got loads of things to pot on and not much space until the rain softens up the soil at the lottie. Guess cleaning is now on the agenda for tomorrow

    Wow, lots of business on here yesterday :)

    I've perked up mostly now....OH and I have chatted and he's trying but doesn't quite get it, but he gave me great cuddles and held my hand even when I was being a b1tch to him!

    Anyway, I spent most of yesterday afternoon cuddling my friend's gorgeous tiny baby and that really chilled me out as there's nothing quite as relaxing as having a little one asleep on your chest, took me back to when DD was that tiny and lovely - so of course she decided as soon as I was free, that she needed baby cuddles too :):)

    Aww, KK, that sounds lovely. And it *was* busy on here yesterday, wasn't it. Well done, Pippi, Cheri, LT and all - lots of progress.

    I've realised I have two mint plants that are still pretty much alive, and might really take off if I plant them in the ground, as opposed to being stuck in pots/windowbox. I don't really care if they take over 2 or 3 square feet, and even if they're really tricky, they're in a very easy place to cut back.

    Take care all.

    The weather, not the general household mood!

    Today
    Washing
    Teaching
    Writing
    Cooking

    That's probably it!

    Morning Pippi, lots to do today again. Hope that you enjoy the teaching. Its wet and windy here. I cant remember if I posted a link to down the lane yesterday but I thought about you and your website that you are building. There are some good things over there and it is very interesting indeed.

    Aching here after all my efforts yesterday, just read back my TADA list and feel quite proud of myself. I even went into the "guest" room last night and slept on the newly installed bed :) Still lots to do to get the house decluttered but getting there slowly.

    All growing away fine me dear. In the fish tank, out doors like a mini greenhouse, not swimming, slowly acclimatising to the climate :)
