    Sometimes payments do take a few days to show up, even as a pending transaction.

    Did you receive any email confirmation of your order it is it showing up in your account with the company?

    Charities are going to be inundated with things when they open up, hopefully people can get some good use out of everything.

    Hope you have your feet up now after all those tasks!

    Ladies, they took payment. Hurrah it will arrive in next two weeks please let it be ok. Hurrah. Now I have serious weeding and stuff to do for the next two weeks in between work. The neighbours gave me 3 runner bean plants and also bought me some more weed and feed to do top end of garden. That's my plan for the next few weeks. Eventually I will paint the fences too. I have all summer to do that. It's all falling into place.

    Whoop whoop! 

    Take your time, break it down into bite size pieces, make sure you rest and it will all come together in time for your delivery.

    Weather is glorious. I have had the biggest lie in. All I have done is trimmed the spinach in the garden and added longer climbing bits to the 4 clematis plants and more slug pellets. 

    I just have to mark 26 bits of work today and it should only take 2 hours.  I might have another snooze first as I cant bear to look at it. 

    After all my bills are paid I have £100 in my account for spending. I have enough in the Christmas Fund to pay my neighbour so as long as I am good and don't go bonkers I should be ok till the end of the month. I counted 8 working days till payday!!!! lol. I have a one track mind.  lol

    I wondered where my summer had gone!

    Rest is good, always find time for a Sunday snooze.

    Your money will last, you may even have some leftover come payday.

    Are your toms in bags or pots? 

    How often are you watering them?

    Do you have any ice cream sticks or the wooden coffee stirrers or plant label sticks? If so, jab one in and see how it comes out, if moist too much water, if dry not enough. Think of it like when you bake a cake and test it to see if it's ready.

    Years ago (30+) it was possible to buy little stick things that went in the soil and told you when the pot needed watering, it would change colour. Not sure if things like that are still made / sold?

    I will check the tomatoes out tomorrow morning and see if I need to water them again. They are still alive so I can't be doing too badly. Lol. The birds are chirping like flipping Rhubarb and Custard bet they are laughing at my lawn. It looks massacred after the weed and feed has got to work. Still it looks like that every year and it always recovers and I am hoping in 7 days the grass will be back without the weeds.  I have only bothered to mark 13 bits of work it is the weekend after all and I am going to enjoy what's left of it. 

    I have emptied the bin and also descaled the kettle.  I'm starving. After my food I am going to check my niece's uni essay. Oh what an exciting life I lead. Not.

    13 bits are more than enough for a weekend!

    Put your feet up and have some you time, no tasks, no marking, just a nice brew, a book or a film.
