    hopefully you managed to get that little lot done


    i managed to get alot of it done taxi thanks :)

    we got £39 refunded, the expanding foam that i bought the other day that didnt work and also an old gas thing that my friend bought years ago but still had when she was moving and wasnt any good to her anymore so gave it to me and said el here ya go we dont need it and cant be bothered getting the money back .... so that was £24 made which i paid straight off the mortgage, that is coming down nicely btw :)

    went to the inlaws there are some family decisions to be made there so i may need to go pester some of the others on various boards so that i can get them all the info they need so that they can make a decision.

    have done the mail stuff as well so just need to wait till the right days to post them now :)

    after all the things we achieved today we are now sitting down with a wee glass of red wine after just eating a delicious chinese and looking forward to NCIS

    i might sit later on with a pen and paper and have another scribble with the figures to find out how much we need to pay next month etc

    hope you are all well :):):)

    Well I'm awake ... Had a great wee night last night and finally managed a lie in today, no plans so far for the day but I would be happy if somewhere amongst it I could get some garden time :)

    Nothing financial going on, just waiting for the first so that I can start moving money about again

    Woohoo got to spend some quality time in the polytunnel .. Have so much more to do but I've started, I just love being out there, have cleared all my old seeds out, will start with new seeds this year and be more selective in what I grow I reckon

    What a lucky lady having a poly tunnel - must make the season so much longer - it's been snowing on and off again today and it's the first year that I haven't had salad leaves ready to pick under the large cloches I use.

    I am beginning to think I hould have sneaked into GGs luggage.

    Have a good weekend, Tilly x x

    Happy Easter to all who celebrate :)

    Yep Tilly I am a very lucky lady with my polytunnel, I'm not really good at gardening but I do enjoy it and slowly over time I will learn as I go along

    This year I am going to try and keep it simple and just grow a few things ... I find that very hard to do as I want to grow so much so that I can taste it all, and that's fine at the start of the season, but by the middle to end I'm pulling my hair out lol

    Sadly will not get time in the polytunnel today as I'm working :( ach well it's gotta be done I spose
  • Very envious of the polytunnel ... okay very envious full stop - my garden looks like a cross between the somme & a triffid nest :eek:

    Glad you got some time yesterday to play, it's great when you can shop in your own back garden ! :p

    Happy Easter to you & Mr El, (and everyone who pops in here) :easter:
