So glad you are enjoying your new job wik. Think of all that free exercise you're getting x

Ooh, sounds like fun Wik! Glad you're enjoying it. Definitely get a pedometer, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised! (mine has a little man who jumps up and down and waves his arms when you get to 10,000 steps :rotfl: )

Pippi! SO lovely to hear about you pottering about in your own garden. Since I've known you you've struggled with outside space I think so this is SO lovely to hear :j :j :j :j Love the sound of a purple border, and planting edible stuff in with your veg

My garden is so tiny that everything's a hotchpotch anyway but after years of trying a nice Alys Flowers-style mix and failing I have resorted to actual veg beds (small ones, surrounded by flowery things) until I can learn how to do it properly! And still things die... Actually managing to kill rainbow chard this year as you know - I didn't even think that was possible!!

And you've reminded me I must get (more) replacement cucumbers for the ones that got eaten... Getting to the point where it'll be as cheap to just buy a year's supply of cucumbers...

If it's not already been mentioned (I may have missed it) - try buying "The Courier" tomorrow as there is an advertising bit near the back where you should be able to find point of lay pullets available locally.
Hope this helps

Aye aint dat the truth.

Today, not so much. A rectors bookcase is being delivered later (TRG's hoose budget not mine)

But I splurged on 4 fence posts for the garden £13.25 when I was out at the builders merchants across the street.

I know how to treat myself.

:rotfl:

Yesterday was a day of plumbers, plumbers and more plumbers, and it kinda ran away with me. I didn't get in me garden til gone 10pm :eek: but I did manage an hour or so out there.

Today is work/work/work/work/work. Good from the money side, bad for the gardening side.

Have a great one, catch up later.

What's everyone upto this weekend?

Missing me girl, she's been away a month now. :eek:

Has it been a month already?? :eek:

Fence posts?? You do know how to treat yourself young lady

We've got a busy weekend of swimming lessons, birthday parties, extra shifts at work (me), normal shifts at work (DH), a visit off my sister and a long drive to North Wales for a conference early hours of Monday morning.

What's everyone else got planned??
