    Remember small sections at a time and enjoy plant shopping.

    One day till the weekend and 3 days till payday! I have mowed the grass v quickly and weeded one section of the garden. It isnt fantastic but it will do. I put down some lobelia and some pretty purple bedding plants. I would like to buy some more in the next few days.

    Sounds great SW, it takes time but eventually you'll get it looking how you want it to.

    Well done on weeding and mowing. Your garden will look great and purple flowers sound amazing. Don’t overdo it in the garden I’m sure your parents will help when they visit

    Hurrah it is the weekend, I have just spent £25.00 buying petunias, gloves, tomatoes, stakes and Sweet Williams for garden.

    Just when i was about to give up a new job is being advertised fairly locally (within bus distance). It is more interesting  than what i am currently doing, pays a bit more than my current job but it means losing some of my time off in the week & it opens up future opportunities up for me so I will apply this weekend. 

    That's this weekend sorted then! The weather is gorgeous but sugars v low so i am eating. Lots.

    Not bad spends for what you've picked up and will last a few years. Keep some tomato seeds for next year.

    Good luck with the application!

    I've started to fill the form in and plan to finish it on Sunday when the rain starts. I had a huge rest when i got in from work as i was so tired. So glad to have escaped.   After watering I planted some Sweet Williams in front of the garden swing.  Thank goodness for the hot weekend.

    Think you need some proper time off to rest.
    Enjoy your weekend 😃
