    Oh dear i'm not long up, must have needed the sleep..:o

    PIL are already away for the day so i need to let there dog out. KH has been on the phone alot about houses so i said when i'm down i'll bring him the local paper and he can work away, don't know when i'll go down yet or if i will, might send PIL. He has a social worker in there who i am sure can find him somewhere but she seems to have gone walkabouts.

    My plans for today is to finish the wardrobes, mum is coming to visit and sis/bil are coming up too. It will be strange next week when no-ones about but i'll be glad to get things done. :D

    Piggers as soon as the wall changes colour i'm painting. I might just go and paint the wood for the curtain track later. Then at least it's ready to go.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    I've no skirting on but i could get the little hole in the ceiling fixed today and paint the ceiling on monday.:think: I could gloss the rest of the skirting in the hall too. There's too much to get on with here..

    You keep him busy piggers and if you run out of things send him on the slow boat here and i'll give him wardrobes to build because i can't be bothered building them..:rotfl:

    I HATE flatpack :mad:

  • Well, good morning, flyladies! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    I just had a letter. And I opened it before I had opened my eyes properly.

    After reading it three times, I think I finally got the gist of it.


    I have won a THOUSAND POUNDS in garden centre vouchers!

    :xmassign:_party_:dance::smileyhea:j:j:beer:
    :easter::starmod: :staradmin:xmastree: :rudolf: :dance:

    Bearing in mind my back garden is about 20' x 30' and the front is all block paving (plus hanging baskets/troughs I already put up as soon as I moved in), I think I might just be able to have the poshest garden in town by next summer!

    Oh, and I am definitely getting a light up reindeer for the bay window roof!!!!!!

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D



    ETA: Do garden centres sell chicken houses and bunny palaces? (SHHHH! Don't tell Minion!!!!!)
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Well done Jojo :j.

    I've decided i'm not going to waste time ebaying stuff before i leave. Knowing my luck something would go wrong with either the internet or changing addresses and it would end up more trouble than it's worth. I'm going to bag or box it all up, label it and put it in the attic of the new house to be dealt with once we've all moved in. I didn't want to be taking it with me but i'm not going to give myself anything extra to worry about.

    I'm going to put another load in the wm & td and then make a start on the ebay stuff already in my office.

    jojo congratulations. Depends on the garden centre - are they for a specific one? Can they be used online? Certainly my local garden centre does rabbit hutches, not sure about chicken runs.
