    Yep, I'm with unixgirl - we have needs! Glad Mr F was there to lend an ear :)

    I put an online order in, for compost and bark chippings, and cleared the pathway at the side of my house to make room - and now I'm realising how much clearing back the overflow of soil from the beds, be it ever so little, has made the place look *so* much better! And I've found out how much greenery (mostly salads) can be grown in shade - lettuces, radishes, all sorts (I've lost the link! Argh!). Anyway, won't be doing that until *after* the delivery, so I've got time to find it again.

    Take care of yourself - meltdowns are very energy-consuming :kisses3:

    Hi Pippi, when you have a day like that if a takeaway is what is required then don't feel guilty. Hope you're ok.

    I feel slightly guilty - but that's OK. :) Hope you're good

  • Peedie update.

    Long week working with various levels of meltdowns.

    All fine now

    Working all weekend.

    Think of the beans.

    Bottled first of the beetroot

    Hiding from courgettes/marrows

    Kids back mid week next week as school starts.

    Lifes hectic but good.

    :)

    Thanks for reading!

    Oh working tax credits now think I'm entitled to nothing, whilst I'm earning now, I think perhaps they are mistaken. Will do battle with these fiends on Monday.

    Have a great weekend. :)

    Your courgettes have grown up to become marrows - oops :rotfl:

    Boo to working all weekend, but it'll take your mind off waiting for the young adults to arrive :)

    I'm still clearing the path etc :o but the delivery is scheduled for this weekend, so the waiting is nearly over. Hope the battle with WTFC goes well - pestiferous lot!
