A world of love that's what it is on here

Evening all. I am happy to see you all.....

Pink totally agree - we were all just so 'living' it catching up we all forgot to take even one pic!

Gien - I work for a recycling charity doing their reporting and social media (one part of my job from up north that I kept on one day of) - its great fun.

RT glad to see you're inspiring FA with castles.

I just had a mini rant about family to NON family. Seems that you can pick your friends. Still seething but feeling more loved.

Emotional as feeling a bit ergh I think. Normal service soon.

Family is the worst. They know exactly which buttons to press too!!

Hope you are okay

Glad you had a lovely weekend xx

Sending hugs your way with even more love!

MSE family thank you. Mines are just epically carp.

I need to remember that my kids are awesome therefore I am awesome.

RT darling the floor got mopped again as if by magic. Its a bit weird I must say. Hope you're all good today. Well after a loooooooooooooong night Mr Me got his next MSc assignment in and I got my work for ooop north printed and bundled up.

Posting today.

Did a 20 'green tips for dogs' thing -interesting but after a while you can't help but think that you're being a bit preachy.

Although I had no idea you could get flushable dog poo bags. If you're out and about great but whats wrong with a shovel if you're at home?

Anyhows enough about poop too early. Taken a chook out of the freezer as I reckon both me and himself could enjoy a midweek roast.

(reduced of course, dare you expect anything else?)

Plan for today
Work 6 hours garden 1/2 hour womble
Pick up some bits when doing post in town. Not much
Scan the reduced sections
Flop after hm meals and a nice recycled wood fire. Filled the logs this am when doing chickens and mutts.

There's a job at local BG (botanic garden) going but its full time and largely retail but it is local and it does have a contract even if the pay is minimal.

Thinking of applying.

There's also a development post at my own work, proper scary post with contract and salary to match. Also looks interesting but ups the game significantly and its more arty/management than I think I'd like. But also thinking about it too.

Half inclined to email herself and ask for a reference for the other job and see the reaction.

Am pondering that one. Its a bit more 'retail' and a bit less 'mud'.

And we all know MUD is my real specialty



I'm thinking of disowning anyone in my life who's carp and makes me feel carp. I like to think of it as emotional decluttering.

Lets see if I can actually bag them up and recycle them rather than put them in a corner and hope I can't see them or what they're upto.

Fly lady.

This month, you may have all your friends and relatives in your dining room, so let's get ready for that! Is your dining room table a smoldering Hot Spot? Set your timer for 15 minutes and put that fire out! If your dining room table is clear of clutter, give it a good cleaning. Don't forget to look under the table for dust and cobwebs. I always forget to look and am amazed what collects under there!

Oops my dining table currently holds a sewing machine, an overlocker, a drawer of fabric, a jar of buttons, a box of finished items, a pile of off cuts to go in the compost bin, two pairs of fabric scissors, two tape measures (why do I have two of everything??) a pin cushion full of pins and a to do list :eek: maybe I do need to fly lady today :rotfl:

Jobs sound interesting although I would say to think about it before applying. No point going for a well paid job if you are not going to be happy doing it :kisses3:

Oh how I wish I could do this this.
Apparently I like to play the victim.

What a great opportunity. I love the idea of working in a botanic garden but the reality is that I'm best with plants when they're mushed up and in a test tube!

I'm rather impressed by the flylady thing - might give it a go as we are definitely moving and so I need to get this place sorted and presentable. I have to do some painting right now and I am procrastinating...
