It is blowing a gale out there with sunshine and showers, but too, too windy to be bearable being out. Glad I mucked out half of the chooks first thing this morning.

i used to do it for a living...had a shop

sold some for thousands :eek: but more architectural masters than "dolls" houses

Thought I remembered you saying that - at Beaulieu wasn't it? I used to have a shop too in the late '90s - in my past life as a fashion designer - although it ended up as a general gift/card/toy/ethnic clothing shop

I'd love to make dolls houses/decorate them - must be a throwback to my childhood when I had a passion for making teeny weeny dolls and outfits for them......mind you I also used to dress worms in loo roll, lol :rotfl:

Sorry you've had a wasted day LIR - it's so blooming annoying when your good intentions come to nothing :mad:

We went off to a local auction this morning - not looking for stock, but because I'd seen something I fancied for myself that DH said he'd get for my BD next month. I had a max bid price in mind but he said he'd do the bidding as I tend to get carried away ;)

Well, typically - it always happens with us - the item we were after proved to be more popular than I'd hoped and it ended up going for £550.....DH went up to £500 - so much for him saying I get carried away as I was only intending to pay £300! The auction estimate was only £100-150

This afternoon DH has gone to pick up some eBay stock so at least one of us is happy......

Similar here. I managed some brushcutting earlier, but then my good line ran out. After 10 minutes with the horrible Mole Valley stuff, I gave up. :mad:

So, after checking the sheep, I thought I'd do some plant related work....... when a load of logs turned up. The log people had seen the weather forecast & decided to come today instead of tomorrow.

The logs were in a bit of a state, as they'd done them in the messy yard next to their other business to kill 2 birds with one stone! To cut a long story short, that was 90 mins, stripping bark and loose stacking in the hope that this delivery will dry by the time we need it. Grrr! :wall:

No plant work done, except to put in a couple of small elms where the hedge is thin.
