    I'm in although I'm Scouting all next weekend so I need to get as much as possible done in the week and considering I've done nothing this weekend as we've been away I may come unstuck!

    I hate gardenning.. we are going to cover 1/8th with decking so there is less of it to look at!

    Cat was in pain and trembling earlier and crowling and biting when I went to see if she was ok so I took her to the vet.. the vet said she is a hypochondriac abd ther is nothing wrong with her!!! Stupid feline freak! She is not normal.

    WMx4
    TD x1
    DW x3 and ....

    .. the worksurface of doom cleared.. needs a wipe and reshuffle but it is so much nicer !

    Charity collection tomorrow so I am filling the doorstep up in a minute.. in case they come at 6am!

    Off again at crack of dawn tomorrow. Can't decide what to pack. Can't work out what more I need to do before I go. Can't think what to put on the list for the cleaner for Tuesday...

    Have emptied the ash can and dyson. Need to get the washing in and put away cleaning stuff. Clothes may need to go in the TD to finish off. Oh, and need to put stuff from making supper in the DW... Trying to decide whether to check in online tonight (which means moving the laptop upstairs and making space to use the printer) or leave it till tomorrow morning...

    Kazw... you're always welcome here to do gardening (as is anyone else). I need some ideas/help with the manual labour. Will swap for aquilegias :D

    i have been reading, with interest, the posts on the last thread about slugs. I hate the little s*ds too! They are everywhere - including indoors! :eek: I just don't know what to do. I was going to lay beer traps, but I may try the yeast thing (except I don't have any yeast :o) I can't do slug pellets (indoors or out) because of pets & children. Any ideas? I was thinking jars of beer, tucked away in corners (out of the dogs way, as the last thing he needs is beer!!)

    Tomorrow I need to vac up downstairs (as I cba tonight :o) and I may manage level 1, if the baby sleeps. Hopefully the kids will walk the dog, as I am working nearly 10 hours and DH is away all week in Bonny Scotland. I was hoping to do some gardening with Little Miss Sunshine tomorrow afternoon, but the weather may put a stop to that :(

    My list:

    FROG LIST:

    1. Do 3 x 1hour studying
    2. Complete SEF 6 sections to go!! (and review)
    3. Contact new CM’s – phone as have not answered emails
    4. Diversity book – festivals WIP
    5. Update Little Miss Sunshine LJ
    6. Update Miss T LJ
    7. Update Curly P LJ
    8. Start LJ for Bubba
    9. Plant peppers
    10. Declare war on slugs/snails!!

    Hugs, sticks and spoons to all that need them. JoJo -it's good to see you posting again. I hope things work out with DD
