Lovely archway with the white roses and the clematis at the bottom :-) I love Bessie's pose too. Wishing you all the best with your 100-day plan

Everyone ... and GallyGirl in particular, the Diva has decided to stop running around like a headless .... oh, perhaps not, anyway everyone, Bessie, Bessie, everyone ...

Erm, talking of headless chickens, what on earth is May up to in that pic?! :rotfl:

I do a very good headless chicken impression, but I've never done the version May is demonstrating...

Yes, she's pretty alright but my gosh doesn't she know it (between us she's also a bit of a bird brain!)!

Many thanks U*S, the purple ones have just started to come through on the arch today with the sunshine we've had, and it actually felt like a tunnel underneath for the first time ever! The clematis is better than it's ever been too (largely because the skinny dog has finally learned to !!!! his leg against the old apple tree and is no longer watering the archway)!

Thanks for your good wishes too!

Bessie doesn't do photos as a rule, but when she does ... well, she just goes all out!

You lot! She's clearly after Bessie's secret stash of meal worms whilst Bessie is too busy posing for her clamouring new fans! :rotfl:

Lovely to have had so many visitors to have a laugh with and support from ... thank you so much, I do appreciate it!

MFW actions:
* NSD
* 100 days SMASH is now up, running and "out there" and it feels good to be accountable rather than "just" plotting and planning it.
So, SMASH day 1 / 100, total so far £0 / £3,000 MOPs early days!
* I did email my main uni contact again today about the money ... not that I expect her to be at her desk, but at least I know it's lurking in her in-box for Monday!

Grey Cloud:
My turn for the lie in as Mr. Hbbb wanted to go for an early run round the park so he said he'd see to the hens first thing. Problem with the lie in? Neighbour. Angle-grinding. 5.50 a.m. 'Nuff said.

Silver Lining:
Moved a few things back into little bedroom and it's starting to look more like a proper bedroom, some canny appropriating from other parts of the house is going on which helps. Just a bit of bed swapping around to be done in the week. As a result, the front bedroom (to be student bedroom) is starting to be clear enough for me to top and bottom it before they come.

Daily Declutter:
Nothing out today but another charity bag arrived, to be picked up Tuesday. Will do 15 in 15 tomorrow and sort out single bed linen for students at same time to try and find a few more bits to get out of here!

Simple pleasures:
* Knowing there are lots of kind, supportive people out there.
* Walking the dogs on the beach today, made a real change and was great for blowing away the cobwebs.

Weekly Will-Do round up along in a moment!

Habibiboo

And so to the Weekly Will-Do:

First, the round up from last week:
Weekly Will-do:

1) 5 NSD & put £1 into sealed pot for each NSD achieved.
Achieved, plus dressing table kill [STRIKE]nicked[/STRIKE] appropriated from Mr. Hbbb.

2) Start decorating small bedroom - complete paintwork at least!

:T Achieved and more, wall-papering, floor painting the lot, very happy!

3) Take time out with Mr. Hbbb one afternoon this week (he's off work this week).

(2) was achieved at the expense of (3) unfortunately, although we did work alongside each other for a short while on the room (until he left me to it) and we did spend some time together this weekend walking the dogs!

4) No work after 8 pm any evening. Yup, done

5) Sew up jumper knitted for friend; knit at least one more herring!

Again not achieved due to continued good work on (2). Only half a herring! :cool:

6) Focus on Freecycle: target 5 larger clutter items from garage to go! Achieved 4 out of 5 so pretty happy with that!

And this week:



1) 5 NSD & put £1 into sealed pot for each NSD achieved.
2) Declutter 20 items
3) Wednesday afternoon off work and work evening instead (catch up with mum before she goes on holiday, hopefully)!
4) No work after 8 pm any evening (except Weds as above)
5) Sew up jumper knitted for friend; knit at least one more herring ... carried forwards from last week as this didn't get done ... I'm still a couple of herrings short of a shoal!


Fargo catch up and early night tonight, thread catch ups tomorrow!
Thinking of you school colleagues for tomorrow especially x
