    Another 3tonnes of soil arrived today, off all next week for my birfday so plenty of time to hopefully finish the blasted soil eating border!!Haha. Have done several TT and not far off my target, will see how much better I can do over this month as long as we don't reach the bottom of the account again! So excited for the hot tub coming!!

    Two more work days! Debating going for a walk on my own today, really struggling with motivation. Will see how I get on!

    I love a long walk in the sunshine, though not on my own as I'd have my mini schnauzer with me!

    Hey SJ I take my little doggy with me when I go, big dog is having a flare up of her arthritis again poor thing. We spent the day playing in the field as it was so warm in the end! Thanks ETE, we have had fab weather so far! Hot tub is sooo nice!!

    Off to the zoo today which I got cheaper by booking online the day before woohoo! Also saved 12.5% off an unlimited drink cup as well!

    Have reached my mini OP target which makes me super happy!

    Hope everyone is well!

    When my last pooch was struggling with hips i gave him a cod liver oil capsule and a glucosamine and chrondroitin tablet on alternate days. It made a massive difference after about 5-6 day, so much so that he was jumping on and off furniture and chasing squirrels again!

    Hey SJ, she is on Glucosamine and injections from the vet as well as hydrotherapy, for some reason it seems really bad at the moment despite pain relief that has anti inflammatory properties as well. Debating taking her to the vets in case something else has happened which isn't related? Hmm. Makes me so sad to see her limping, she looks sad as well.

    Have had a lovely week off work, so not ready to go back tomorrow...Had a fab birthday and did almost a seven mile very hilly walk with picnic which was lovely(6.88miles). Been very spoilt!

    Cant remember if I said I reached my TT total? Well I did! Sorry if repeating myself!

    Also my stepdad decided he wants the caravan so my mum had to retract her offer. Nevermind, we went to see the cheap one near us, its in super bad shape but got it for £100, will strip it down then use the chassis to attempt to build a tiny house minus bathroom! Will be looking for bargain/free items as much as possible. My dad is replacing his decking with composite and has offered us any wood which is in good enough condition which will be great for the decking on the old massive caravan chassis! Hubby thinks we look like a junk yard!haha. Almost finished the borders now, still got to top up the soil then plant some more plants, at the end of June got another 60plants coming which will be awesome!

    Hello Jodles,

    Your birthday time off sounded lovely. I'm so sorry I missed it. Hopefully this will help make up for it:
