    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!

    You're on!

    Been faffing about with photos for a piece of writing for work, and have actually been doing some paid work :) so 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!

    All sounds nicely productive.

    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 like :) and 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 cupboard :D which then gives me the space to do about ten other things :D

    Hopefully, I'll need a ta-da list later on today :j

    There's nothing to beat a nice long ta-da list at the end of the day:j

    Glad the Sealant Situation is nearly sorted :T:T:T
    A 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 :o

    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 list :D I'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 :o so we'll see how it turns out :p
