    Impressed with the food diary entries ladies :T

    I have heard from the Fife fleabag buyer, so all good there :)

    Still nada from local guy or guy from England - I'll send another friendly email tomorrow evening ....

    Today I walked for approximately 3 miles and chopped (sawed) down a tree - it was a smallish (although maybe 7ft) fir tree which was clearly sapping the nutrients from the veg and other plants. I checked and double checked just in case there were any wee birds etc. inside, however only lots of brown fir needle leaves. I don't like chopping down anything, however the space at the patio looks so much clearer (plus lots more sun as tree was clearly just plonked there when a lot smaller). Have I justified myself? I am feeling a tad guilty in doing this :o

    As I had garlic in the sauce (and of course garlic bread), I have brushed my teeth before fleabag pick up guy arrives - not that I'm expecting a snog or anything!!!! however I figured a). No one likes garlic breath and b). After collection, I will put on my jams and go to bed early in an attempt to stop any unnecessary snacking ;)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
