And its good morning from me if anyone is around.

Weather looks slightly better today, its a bit lighter so maybe no rain for a change.

Not been up long, which is good for me, I have been waking up around 5 every day coughing and didn;t today so a good sign my cough is going.


Take care all

It's ok jeferey it's actually quite warm here today for you to come home to.

Got a very strange email from an ebayer today, apparently I'd posted an item to them they didn't win, but they didn't bid on any of I my items, and it was the address a buyer asked me to change delivery on. Thankfully I took ebay advise and reinvoced the buyer asking them to give the correct postal address, so I have that and POP should it be anything odd.

Good morning guys

Hope you had a good journey home Jeferey, now you have time for shopping and a quick tidy of the allotment over the weekend. When you return to work you can make everyone jealous by showing off your tan. lol.

Too many ebay buyers are thick as two short planks. I don;t think half of them can read either

change of address can be a pain, I had someone a while ago that I noticed the address when I invoiced but when he paid half of the address was different. Well, that is to say, it had a company name and street, but the rest of it was the same as his home address. How they expect to get parcels is beyond me.

Hope you manage to get it sorted Kerri

Well in this case it was me as thick as two short planks, sent it to the house next door, what a muppet, and goodness knows how I managed it.
Good job I put the auction order details in with the item and the recipient was honest enough to contact me. I should prob put a thank you card in the post to them now I have their address.

Was going to be a day in the garden today, but couldn't get the sleepers we need in the car, so ordered what we wanted, plus another half sleeper which saves on my trying to source a scaffold plank (again issue trying to get length in car) which makes delivery a little more palletable. Fingers crossed for nice weather next weekend now!

Can't believe how gorgeous this weather is, was a beautiful drive out towards where the sleepers are from, makes me realise what a lovely part of the country I get to live in.

We had a lot of wind and rain yesterday afternoon but it was still quite warm considering the time of year. Sounds as though your spending a lot of money on your garden. I know someone who has sleepers in there garden, they used to to create some raised borders. Bet your garden will look lovely when its finished.


Ebay - at least you only sent the parcel to the neighbour and not a different town:rotfl::rotfl:.

That's true, it could've been worse. It was the item where the buyer wanted it posted elsewhere as well, why is it always the case that when one thing goes wrong it snowballs.

We spent enough on having some brickwork done in the garden last year, this is all kind of shoring up what is alreay there and making good as a lot of the wood that was originally put in before we moved in has rotted. These are 'new' sleepers, not the big reclaimed ones, I found the place where we get them from online, it's not too far for us, £24 local delivery, and about £20 a sleeper so not as expensive as a lot of places. It's a family business and they're really helpful. its actually quite a small garden, we could change it totally if we wanted but it would be a log of work and expense so just going with what we have for the moment.

Pouring with rsin here this morning when I went for a run, dull but sill mild atm. Just put some fat out for the birds...cat has shot out to eat it... I give up lol!

Good morning guys

we had lovely weather yesterday, it was hard to believe we are in November, the sun came out, blue sky and warm as well. The weather forecast got it wrong as they said we would get rain in the morning. It didn;t rain till about after 3.

Atm it doesn;t look too bad so maybe a good day today.

Hope you all had a good weekend.
