Yeah I have and Mr me keeps saying when is the ebaying starting. I've a website designed and the starts of info sheets etc for things. I've really been head down getting this garden sorted out first before I give it a real blast, maybe next year.

I'm keen to find a niche for edibles/bonnies which are useful and pretty.

And perhaps more perennial edibles..........

So its part of the bigger 'cover the world in flowers' plan.

Thanks for asking I keep forgetting rome wasn't built in a day.

Paid work done, must do invoice.

Then sow some seeds, do I do this inside conservatory and clean up quickly or wrap up and go outside........

Ponders.

Ah L that's who it was :-) how exciting! Xx

Hope you're good. My great exciting news today is that I've cut the grass for the first time.

Hens happy at the spoils.

So far no driving, no spends.

Happy May Bank Holiday folks!

I'm working started back in the garden yesterday after three weeks AWOL.

Soggiest of days.

Some spends to update.

Petrol £54 - eek we went up skiing on saturday. So I funded the petrol, there's lots left I'll have to eek it out too.

Food £53 in sainsbugs (mainly a tonne of reduced meat and store cupboard bits) £4.50 in B?M on pet supplies.

DS has been home so he's eating us out of house and home whilst doing his final assignments.

Had to give him some dosh as his SAAS isn't sorted yet (SIGH) several emails later blah blah. £150 to him for last rent/grub

Bank account is dangerously low but should see wages in this week from both jobs if I do a time sheet this week too.

Lunch is made, DH is off to work with his packed lunch too.

Managed to swing by ironmongers last night and score 8 pallets

I love my new car it fits 8 pallets in it comfortably.

I'll leave a donation to the lifeboat today as the man has a tin on his counter. There are more, I guess they were having a clear out, but best leave more for others.

Unless of course they don't shift over next couple days and then I'll take them, don't want them to spoil.

Hugs and stuff to you all. Quick cuppa then I'm off to the coalface

Hens/dogs/birds fed, now for me.

Hope you're all doing something fun this bank holiday.

BTW why do they have bank holidays any more (ie in the bank) when everything is automated.............??????) happy for folks to have holidays but does our money need to be stashed away for a couple days?

Bleeping eck to Ds 's SAAS still not being sorted :mad: :mad:
Happy Monday

Hello!
We've been away at a family bash for OH's gran's 90th birthday. Came home with lots of party left-overs for us and the chooks. They do enjoy some left-over sausage rolls!

Hey Beanie - it helps (with SAAS if you actually phone them.......he's not great at actually getting in touch ) x Hugs to you on this fine soggy day.

Hey Trog sounds like a nice bash. My girls enjoy all types of pastry goods hope you're all well.

So its my not quite weekend.

I did three days in the garden, first time in a month, so I'm exhausted!

Some paperwork today and then a group meeting/meeting a chum for a garden discussion.

Its raining so hard there's poodles everywhere. Whilst its good for the garden to get a drink, be nice if this stopped later.

Banks/internetty things and some paperwork for the womble job to do. I've a meeting in the land of RTB tomorrow so a bit of prep to do with that like, where is it.

kettle is on

Hope you're all well.

Must do a freezer/fridge shoogle about and fathom a meal plan/shopping list.

Morning all, another work day for me best get a wriggle on I've meetings in central later. Train awaits

Made a four fence panel wood profit yesterday, news of my wood fetish is spreading throughout the village.

No spends at all aside petrol £22

Managed a couple hours in the garden, now that things are starting to wake up its getting exciting although the temp today so far is 4 degrees.

Left over roast beef from dinner at MIL with sprouty tatties and old cabbage which was tastier than it sounds!

Given some lettuce seedlings from a neighbour and sowed more sweetpeas for later blooms (I've four pots already about 3'' high)

Put cardboard from work on one of the raised beds as I think due to extreme laziness this year they'll be no dig

The other two might end up no dig and covered too with courgettes in them/some other easy crop. We'll see, maybe Ill dig two........:)

So today should only be work spends, and election watching later.



Have a great day folks.
