Hey you busy bee.

The weather is supposed to be lovely over the weekend, so hopefully you will be able to get your gardening jobs done.

So pleased you treated yourself for once and got the new jeans.

Have a good day today, hope that rain holds off xxx

Me busy? Not in comparison to you my lovely! I've booked my Tuesday jobs into Saturday, giving me Sunday to ease my back into mobility :rotfl:

Yah for MsE new jeans
Do coffee shop ones now become gardening ones or painting ones? Would be tempted to use jogging bottoms for gardening in? Might be cheaper if they are getting covered in mud regularly?
Cold here and under throw with Doglet ..... Some peace before DH gets home!

They will become gardening jeans for my garden, they are really baggy round the bum and don't stay up properly. Not too worried about hoicking them up in the privacy of my own garden. Less embarrassing than in a public place :rotfl:

I had the throw tucked round me yesterday evening, very chilly for two days off June... Give doglet a kiss from me, probably a paw swat from Colin

Tuna..hope you get home soon as hospital is so boring and of course it'll mean you're loads better.
PIQ..great news on savings on your mobile and new proper fitting jeans.Your gardening business is doing so well now and rightly deserved.

You've had an awful year and come out the other side with great dignity, and best of all, well! You are great!

Lovely to hear your news...sorry about the Little Shop of Misery but yay to new jeans!!

I bought myself my first new pair in 3 years 2 weeks ago..and they are YELLOW!:rotfl: never thought I'd wear anything than blue denim (I wear jeans all the time I am not at work) but I LOVE them. Cheering me up despite all the gloomy weather

Great news on the jean and \geraniums. Got some trailing Lobelia for my wellies, should look good.

Andrea reminded me of some waterproofs I bought for my son (also 14 but only 5'8" -still 5" taller than me though lol) and they were from fleabay £10 (inc postage! :T ) they do the job well and i've used them (rolled up lol) a fair few times

Yay to new jeans! I love getting new clothes now it's a proper treat and then I wear them to death and need a replacement within a couple of months though Brizzle yellow jeans sound great - just what we need considering the sky never lets off any yellow anymore (well not round these here parts anyway!)

I love new clothes too. Have to admit to being naughty this month and buying myself a new dress. Wore it to lunch today and felt really good, especially when comments were made re how much weight I've lost. Its a flattering dress

Yellow jeans sound fun

...and here is what I was greeted with yesterday when I returned from a wet and muddy gardening day.

A green nosed cat:eek: What you can't see is his green legs and green chin. It's hard to ignore the fact he is lying on my cream bedding and thereby transferring his green to the duvet cover.

Cat's don't like having their faces washed....

I have to ask - what had Colin been paddling in and sniffing to turn him green? Was it paint for your pots or..............?

It was grass stains, goodness only knows what he was doing, most of it is off now, he just has a faintly green nose. Very fetching!

Yellow jeans.....mmmm, how very lovely. I think I'd look like a giant half bunch of bananas though :rotfl:

I did forget to tell the most important news about the jeans *drumroll* They were a size down :j I could have got the next size down to that but they were a bit tight and gave me a muffin top that would be the envy of muffins everywhere. :rotfl:

I have quietly being watching what I eat and it might be paying off.

I wore the new jeans to work at the coffee shop yesterday and I can report they were very comfortable and not once did I feel I was in danger of displaying a builders bum to the world!

Today I'm doing Tuesday's gardening jobs and this evening I'm taking my mum to a beetle drive run by the lady who gets me most of my gardening jobs. Mum is very excited. I'm excited because I'll be the youngest by far and everyone refers to me as a young girl :rotfl:

Have a good day gardening and fun at the beetle drive x

Enjoy your Beetle Drive with you mum "Young Girl " !

Loving the picture of a green Colin x :rotfl:
