Plants make your garden a bit of paradise, an escape from work, a place to relax. At some point your garden will be as you want it to be and the spending will stop 😉Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2

Don’t worry too much about the weeds SW, they only grow back again ! You can spend more time in the garden once work is finished for the summer. 😊0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Loads of plants are arriving in a few days so I am going to try to plant them and make my garden look better maybe next week before my parents do visit in July? Today will be a nuthouse at work.

It will feel like Christmas every day when you are opening up your deliveries. Slow and steady wins the race with gardening, only do a section don't plan to do everything.
Fresh raspberries, ummmm yummy!Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0 -
I'm wearing the new pairs of slippers that came today. One of my friends is being treated badly at work. Why can't people just be nice?
