Sounds like a lovely weekend - would like to see any photos if you get the chance to post them.
I hadn't used my Photobucket for ages, until I started posting a couple of photos on my thread. It looked different to how it used to be, but it was still functional, when I worked out what to do!Early retired - 18th December 2014

You're on!
Been faffing about with photos for a piece of writing for work, and have actually been doing some paid workso won't do it now ... off for some fresh air, more food, more writing, more photos, possibly more weeding. Its a hard life :j

Ta-da! An area about 4' x 3' was mostly weeded ... I finished off the weeding, got rid of the builders' clunch, aerated what's there just a little bit, chucked some new soil on top and loads of mulch on top of that. Result!2023: the year I get to buy a car0

All sounds nicely productive.0

It was, thank you Al
I didn't do *anything* associated with ebay other than look at the "things for sale" file of photos, my bad. But that weeding was so close to completion, I couldn't let it all get all weedy again.
Today ... hmm, got to go to Sainsbo - I have a tillspit, £4.50 off a £30 spend, a 15% discount, which I likeand there's storecupboard stuff I can buy, as well as my beloved broccoli
I've promised Goldie to do some ebay prep - promised her, because *I* want to do it, and I don't particularly like doing it.
Last coat of sealant needed - then I can free up the draining board, which is home to all the stuff that should be in the under-sink cupboardwhich then gives me the space to do about ten other things
Hopefully, I'll need a ta-da list later on today :j2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Glad the Sealant Situation is nearly sorted :T:T:TA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

It feels later than 2.45
However, here's the current ta-da list:
- last blobs of sealant applied and drying nicely.
- Sainsbo voucher used.
- erm, I underestimated the amount of tax-freeness from my pension contribution. Got to adjust the total upwards, I'll have fun doing that
- and the big news: I've listed the stamps and the collars on ebay :j The stamps might do well, there's someone from the US selling the same set for £16, with all the postage they have to add, so mine are significantly under that. And the collars might do well as well. Since its Tuesday, I've put them on a 10 day auction, and timed it to start tonight, so they finish on a Friday night. Should be good.
I'll do more later. Right now, since I've actually accomplished the things on my very minimal to-do listI'm heading off to the garden - no heavy work this time, but I'm going to try to collect enough dandelions to do the dandelion honey that used to be on MG's site, tho I can't find it there now. It does recommend straining out the petals, but I'm not going to do that. Erm, turns out I'm not going to use the pectin either, as I don't have any
so we'll see how it turns out
