And, perhaps some indoor mowing.

????? What's indoor mowing?? Am I being a bit thick?

I think an online shop is a great idea. Obviously depends on the plants etc but is it worth (for your sanity) to wait til after snowdrop season when your hours drop a bit?

Is indoor mowing doing the hoovering?? same kind of action but I hope doesn't shave layers off your carpet :eek: :rotfl: unless you have a kind of weird *growing* carpet :eek: kind of like people who have astroturf instead of real lawn in the garden, but the opposite. What a frightening thought!! :eek: :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Twas indeed hoovering but same kind of thing.

Another day at the coal face. Hope you're all good. two days in a row my lunch has been on the table, here, not at work.

Must get money out for man who fixed the boiler.

A fly-lady-ing must also be done.

todays mission is clean behind loo and toss a lot of rubbish from the worst room of the house.

Wonder if I can do the whole house.

Moved money around last night as work cheque was cleared. Need contact bro/ma about mutt sitting as Aunty Wik can't make it.

Dugs to work me thinks. Chooks fed and must get my tatties chitted.

wooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm off snodroping for 2 whole days. And, the end is in sight.

- 46 hours this week. Who knew you could spend so much time in the company of snowdrops. Must do a bill for them.

In interesting news I've got a wee unexpected extra hours request from womble land for £315

So that's a bit crazy.

Also an extra 8 hours done on a new project which is separate to my normal hours (co-ordinating beach clean) so that's money for later and more to come.

Dinner it out of the freezer - reduced fish - eggs for lunch (free) all good.



Hope you're all well.

Oh and in MOST exciting news. Tatties are a chitting. And I dug up the last carrot.

At home day.

Expenses need doing and an early invoice for wombles.

Timesheet and expenses need doing for global snowdrop domination.

Job application to fill in for local BG - Lead Gardener - mulling it - proper job, bit scary.

Washing on
Kitchen floor done
dishwasher done once

Need do meal plan and shopping list as off to flat later to clear out last of the trees (pears x 2 and a budjleia cant' spell that one)

Meet oh at flat and see a pal for a cuppa beforehand

No clue about tea depends on how long flat takes I guess.

2 hours wombling done this am via phone conference

Need put washing away and attempt that indoor mowing again got the hosp tomorrow for knee so not home.

Phoned insurance re leg nonsense - all covered.

Must phone parent and arrange meet up next week and start grovelling dog sitting speech. LOL.

hope you're all well - poached eggs for lunch I think.

Need talk vet about op for senior mutt

So I'm doing some sums

I'm averaging (and I use the term loosely) 25 hours a week at the garden and 7 hours a week for wombles.

Based on a 48 week working year I'm happy with the average I have noodling in. The new job I'm thinking of would be a slight increase in salary but not nearly as much as I had thought it would be.

More pondering to be done but good to have some figures to start thinking with.

Wombles may increase by a half or a full day after april. Garden hours have yet to be set totally.

Pottles off to ponder some more.

What does BG mean?
No harm in putting in application is there?
Have a happy weekend
