Morning, hearing you so energised makes me want to go away so I can come back ready to start again! Been busy sorting garage and the rubbish tip area of the garden, took as much to the recycling as we could and the rest went to the dustman. Still a long way to go both inside and out but feels good to have started :j.
Look forward to hearing how the trading goes next week.One small step for ME, one giant leap for my family!

:jto progress in the garden! Isn't it amazing how energizing sun and fresh air are?
We bought some garden furniture restorer last weekend & this weekend OH has to get it cleaned and then mow the lawn - on the flip side I have to weed before he mows and do the bbq meal after he sets up the furniture! - :rotfl: - (I'd rather sit in the comfy chair and read a book.)

Have a happy and productive day!!!

RTIt was so lovely being in the garden yesterday, and very satisfying to see a little area of soil appearing - erm, its about one foot by three foot, so not very big :rotfl:thats what had all the ivy tendrils in it. I'll keep going.
You have a lot of work in the garden too! My furniture doesn't need anything - well, the table I inherited is a white plastic thing, and needs a really good wash, but thats all. My chairs are lovely aluminium, and also need a wash, I didn't use them last year what with one thing and another. Tho I have a little deck at the end of this garden, and I bought some deck-oil (can't think of the right term for the life of me :rotfl:) so I must give that a go at some stage.
Today - hmmm, 3 hours paid work, the catching up on the admin is going pretty slow too, to be honest. I will cut the buddleia down today, and a part of me also wants to go to my local big Sainsbo, partly to buy some food, but mostly to see if they've any food processors on offer, as described in Martin's newsletter. I've sussed that if I buy one with dough hooks, I can cook gluten free bread in my oven, without having a breadmaker, and I can also use it to chop vegetables and batch cook them to freeze in stews. The arthritis is one reason why I'm using so much frozen food - no chopping! But it would be nice to have other veg too.
Right, I'd better post this *novel* before I break the boards :rotfl:2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Also check to see if your knives are sharp. As in *sharp*. If you're "chopping", sounds like they're as sharp as an axe, not as sharp as a knife."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
