    Can you use a lot of the info from your other applicable, with a few tweaks to cover what they're asking?

    Payday soon!

    Yes that's what i have done. There are two subjects and i dont know if they want one teacher or two but i have applied we shall see if anything happens. 

    Payday in two days i owe £190 to the holiday fund and am using this to treat my family when they visit after lockdown! It is raining. 

    My plan for this week is that i will dig in some petunias as the soil softens with the rain. Plenty of rain has been forecasted. The second thing is i will give the house a thorough spring clean before my parents visit.

    A random baby deer has come into my garden she is lost from the mother. We get foxes and owls and badgers and a heron and the albino squirrel but never a deer before. The RSPCA said to leave her if she is still here tomorrow they will come.

    Oh how amazing a baby deer. 😁 I hope mum comes and collects them soon. 

    We’ve had foxes, rabbits, birds including a woodpecker but never a deer.

    She is eating my strawberry plants and seems quite content if a little puzzled as she doesnt know how to get out. I do hope her mum calls her tonight. No gardening done today as i dont want to scare her. I hope she hasnt squashed the petunias too much.

    Payday tomorrow at midnight. I cannot wait.
