Our beautiful recycled life: a patchworking income, green living, dfw adventure!

Ooh leeks. Yum. Leek and potato soup anyone? I'll whip us up a batch while someone gets the kettle on

I think it may be spring here too pippi. I have had washing out every day this week (why do I actively look for washing when it's sunny?)

Have you had a good day?

:rotfl:I'm the same as you starnac, I think it is a waste of a good day if I don't have washing out drying!! :rotfl:

Spring is definitely here, though the breeze today has been a bit chilly. All relative I know Pippi...16 degrees here and I feel a bit cold. :eek: Could have something to do with being in an over-hot college invigilating all day. Took my lunch and knitting out to a local park to get some fresh air at lunchtime, lovely!!!

I will have a look at what spare cartridges are lying about. There won't be many as I had a clearout a few months ago and took all of the old machine cartridges to our local C@rtr!dge wor!d. They were able to recyle those that they didn't stock, and the rest get re-filled and re-used, being sold at a much cheaper rate than the new branded ones. Our local one also pops in a chocolate square with the new cartridges...recycling and chocolate, what more can you ask for!! ;)

Off to do a bit more sewing before getting tea on. DH is taking DS1 back to Uni tonight (only came home on Sunday, but has some workshops and tutor meetings, and has to go back again), so an early tea is called for.

Have a great evening, another lovely day is forecast for tomorrow, hopefully everywhere! I may even get some weeding done at the weekend, as well as some seeds sown...getting late for chillies now

Bee-yoo-ti-ful here too, tho a bit misty right now. And nippy last night! I'm off away to my mum's for a week, so you all have to promise to save my seat at the table

Hope everyone's still enjoying the sunshine

It is lovely here.

Was a bad mummy this morning though DD was supposed to wear track suit and trainers to school this morning cos they were doing the sports relief mile. I sent her in her uniform cos she only goes in the morning and they are walking the mile this afternoon. Anyway turns out the morning children are going to e park so they don't feel left out! Luckily I had the car this morning so I zoomed home and zoomed back up the school with her leggings and trainers. Phew!

I was a bad mummy too......DD is probably the only child who will be changing into her PE kit at school (and I didn't give her the £1 either ). We totally forgot and it wasn't until after I dropped her at my friend's house to walk up that I saw other children, all wearing trackie bottoms etc. Oops! I might get a mummy telling off for that...

Have fun with you mummy KC, I'll keep the sun warm down here for your return

Pippilongstocking

*slumps in heap*

Up at crack of dawn, paperwork, then ferry to a garden job 7 hrs.
Caught 4 new chooks for home boxed them up took them on a ferry in two walkers crisp boxes tied with string.

Back to mainland here - gardened for 2 hours doing over a rose garden in a differnet garden

Home after pickign up a puppy crate

Hmm, I'm looking at a new puppy tomorrow t time with peedie and he might come home with us (the new pup)

Four new hens and a potential puppy - I shouldn't be allowed to leave the house.

Busy busy busy busy few days - but worked 54 hours this week for real money.

Might actually be able to clear a card this month. (well once I get paid)


tired girl

Sorry I'm neglecting my diary - sun is out - so much work to catch up on

Love you all - just a bit manic


If puppy works out (birthday pressie from Mr Pippi)

I'll put a photo on here - he looks like a fluffy hairbrush.

New chooks were free and white and black speckled. And I sold the lady a compost bin and 3 recycled bags (thank you to keiss and greying!)

I need to stop gardening - its killing me (I'm so unfit) but the money is ace!

Hugs to you all hope your'e all good (waves frantically from bed)

Glad its getting warmer and you're all gettign washign on the line!

I so want another one already and Rodders is only just about fully grown :rotfl:

Great news that you are so busy with paid work but no wonder you are cream crackered!

Hope the new chooks settle in OK, after their journey home they should be called after crisps or the ferry - So CalMac, Walkers, Pringle and Quaver maybe
