    Hi, new lodger moving in on 7th June :T. This is short term but two more people are talking about rooms and interested so I could have one long term and one short term. Excellent. I couldn't cope with two long term Monday-Friday guests.

    Any lodger money is going straight into a fund for refurbishments.

    Yeah! Well done Tilly! That's great news..

    I can already hear Mr T in the garage looking looking for his spade and cement mix for the new patio.. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Congrats on the new lodger Tilly - although I can't fathom for the life of me how anyone could put up with lodgers :D

    Hope you're getting the sun?

    Hi Tilly,

    I hope your mint is in a separate pot - it'll take over the world if it isn't!
    My OH planted up an old Belfast sink as a herb garden for me last year and it's currently bursting with rosemary, sage, parsley, dill, camomile, lavender and a beautiful bay tree.

    Fresh herbs in my cooking and Thistle is a happy bunny!!!
