You’ll settle back with the spends Beanie….it’s just because you know your mortgage free and we can get out and about again after lockdown. You’ll get back into it 👍

I need to!!

Beanie I have been buying extra things here and there because I know I can, as everyone has said it will settle down . Good idea to maybe get help with the gardening if your tools are not helping you.m

The weather here is not summery at all.
I have not managed any weeding which is just as well as I have pulled a muscle in my leg.
When I weed I sit on the ground & then struggle to get up. 
The long handled tool I bought does not work for me.
I need to pay someone to deal with all the weeeds on the other side of the fence in the land that no one maintains.

In other MSE news I seem to have been overspending a tad & I need to reign it right in.
Although I am now MF I stll have a very small income & need to remind myself of that.

Are you mad woman!? Getting someone in to start you off is a good idea but a little bit of maintenance is good after that.

Check out sturdy steps for weeding - DH uses one like this that you can kneel on the pad at the bottom and use the sides to get up but I don't like the feeling of being closed in so I use a stack of four plastic stools like these and I make sure I have a fork to lean on to get up if I am stiff from being there a while (I am double jointed so it might not suit others).

I hear you on the overspending.

I think Suffolk_lass has a couple of good ideas there.

Thank you
Have had those stools that you lean on. Unfortunatly I have broken 3 so far.

I have the other type of stool but I still have to crawl to get to it.
The joys of CP~~not.
