    Thanks BMF, but IF is def the QUEEN of the Pics! I'm just an enthusiastic learner. I've just spent the last hour practicing some of what I learned on the ExCel course last week. Slow but sure......I even managed a pie chart!
    Anyhoo, my weekend sounds about as exciting as your's - off to hang out my washing then for a walk with doglet. The thing is I'm perfectly happy.......heh heh!;)

    Well Jinty, I'm impressed!! Love the pics!! sunglasses.gif

    Well done all,
    I'm not off to the best start - 2 days of spending so far. Still have bought groceries for packed lunch next week so hopefully will get on track from tomorrow.

    Might go now and put money on travel cards etc so I don't have to on Monday!

    I am determined to do it!!!

    Hya all, hope you are all having a good weekend.

    Picked up NSD no 1 today, been sewing and knitting this morning and gardening all afternoon.

    DH has dug up, repositioned and concreted in the spike for our whirly-gig washing pole. He had to dig up numerous plants, which I proceeded to pot up. It's amazing how many plants you can find in a 1.2x1.2 metre bed!!! We have three more the same size to clear of plants. One is full of weeds, so easy, but the others have LOADS of stuff in them that I want to keep...so a busy day of potting up again tomorrow. Once the whole area is cleared, DH is going to make new raised beds, which I plan on having for veg...at least that is the plan.

    Another spend day for me !!

    Left home a tad later than planned to get to DD's, but was home earlier than I though I might be.
    Had an hour 'chilling', then took dog out for a jog/walk
    Came home and had another hour, then headed out for a 'proper' run. Only managed 2 miles of the 3 mile, then walked 1.25 miles home with a detour to work to check the Whoopsies (in the hope of inspiration for tea, and some bread as I've run out and can't be @rsed puttin the bread maker on tonight!)
    Managed to get a loaf (Best Farmhouse) for 19p, and a Whoopsied pie for tea - plus some hot cross buns (breakfast), and a spiced bun loaf, and a tub of chille chicken soup (had one a couple of weeks ago and it's fab) :T


    Not long since got off the phone with #2, and arrangements for tomorrows meet are now all sorted :D
    We're taking my mutt for a walk (undetermined length) along a fairly busy section of a canal - so fingers crossed the weather holds.....
