    Morning Stripes!

    A day of wellies on and hands in the soil - sounds like bliss for ya :D

    You're really doing well with the sorting and shuffling and shifting prior to your move. It is draining though - and we've not really started in earnest yet!

    But keep on keeping on. Glad you've got such a good bunch on your thread to keep cheering you on and supplying you with tea, biscuits and hugs :D

    Passes the biscuits about the place :)

    I'm awa' very shortly on a ferry (EH that wee one) and off to indeed get my hands muchly mucky dear greying :)

    It is draining assessing bits of your life and things that were 'so' important now seem like either a 'waste what was I thinking' or I hug them and tell them its OK they are coming.

    Its like this is your life without the big red book and the smiley irish man :)

    Each precious bit has a story eh?

    So banks done and wages in but not cleared so no major shuffles today I'm afraid.

    Tea oot the night to the posh place we love with two dear chums by way of a 'happy birthday/bonne voyage'.

    TRG is awa' the morn and will probably pop back for a day or two at the finishing post to help me move.

    I hope you all have a lovely day today and wish you all a good weekend - like you GP I deeply appreciate the sideline cheering and nods and hugs and bickies we all share.

    You've all changed my life so much I just can't tell you. Its so nice to not feel alone most of the time. IYSWIM

    Hugs and bonne weekend chaps.

    :)

    Don's wellyboots and a wooly hat and grabs a tree to take on the journey. I hope rowans don't get sea sick.

    We have quite a busy weekend. We have a big get together with a load of friends, then DD has a birthday party then we have a Christian swimming gala.

    We went to the swimming gala last year and DD entered the race for her age group. She was so chuffed when she got a medal for coming 3rd. I didn't have the heart to point out there was only 3 of them in the race :rotfl:

    What plans does everyone else have this weekend??

    There's a free concert in the town tomorrow which sounds like fun, but the forecast is AWFUL. I'm biding my time before committing to going :D

    :hello: Of course, I'd forgotten that it was today you were off to spend a day in that glorious garden! Hope the ferry back is a little less "lumpy" than when we were on...whilst I quite enjoyed that bit, I wasn't convinced that you, MrEH, OR that poor dog, were having so much fun! :D

    Have a lovely posh meal tonight too - remember to tell us all about it, we can all enjoy fine dining vicariously that way! :T

    Weekend...Hmmm...nothing major planned - bit of getting stuff sorted for our holibobs, maybe a walk....a lot depends on whether the sky leaks, or not. MrEH is playing rugby tomorrow mind you, so that'll sort the afternoon out!

    Morning lands kettles on, emptying machine and then putting on more hc (air dry of course)

    Then a plan for the day :-)

    Hope you're all well
