Hi Folks,
Well I had a lovey few days off so far. Yesterday we went to Wallington Hall, A fab national trust place. The weather was wonderful and the walled garden was in full bloom. The house and the grounds were great.
I was hoping to get in the garden today, but there was a deluge of rain overnight and this morning which put pay to that.

Hi Folks, it was raining again today, so did not manage to get any digging or garden work done. However, I did manage to convert one of my outhouses into a garden tool shed.
I have put some pictures before and after on my blog

MF I am enjoying the blog so far. Your garden is going to look absolutely fab and think of the exercise and the weight you will lose by doing it! The tool shed looks amazing.
good luck with it all.Debt free and Keeping on Track0 -
Hi Folks,
Did some more gardening today, mainly weeding and digging section 6, that I started last week. It is coming along slowly.
Had a nice few days out as well and not lookng forward to going back to work next week.
Went to see the Bourne Legacy yesterday, it was very good.
My parents are coming up for the weekend; fortunately I get paid on friday, so that is not too bad. Hoping to have a few cheap days out.

Enjoy the time with your parents - you might be able to persuade them to do some digging

Hi Folks,
Well back to work today after two weeks off. The parents came up to stay over the bank holiday weekend and met gf's parents for the first time. We all went out for a lovely chinese meal and everybody got on well, so it was good.
My time off overall was a good balance. I managed to make a start on the garden; I did not manage to get as much as I would have liked, due to rain, but I was pleased overall. I just need to keep it going now. I will keep writing my blog.
We also had some nice days out, which was good; hopefully I did not spend to much money. I have to work out the accounts today, as I have been paid.
I need to knuckle down this month and get back on track. I also need to never eat or drink again. I have stuffed my face over the last two weeks, so need to get back into the fitness.
