  • No point trying to do anything until the weather has settled.
    Well done getting a handle on spending this month.
    Enjoy your holiday and don't work too much!

  • It is raining now but was mostly dry this morning. Everyone has lost fence panels or bits of roofing on our street. We are so grateful that noone had injuries. I am resting and have some marking to do.

    Glad to hear you're safe! When I saw the video of the flying wheelie bin I did start to worry. We've escaped most of it up here.

    There has been so much marking to do I am nowhere near done.  I popped into work to pick up extra bits and did a £27 food shop, had haircut (£15) and spent £5 on travel.

    I have planted my snowdrops - although there were only 25 i think they willl look nice and it will be fab if i get more next year. The greenhouse will have to be replaced following the storm but Im not sure if i should as it was in a most inconvenient place and the garden is prettier without it.

  • Don't replace the greenhouse, live without it and decide whether it's missed or not.

    Well done grabbing a pamper, food spends are good too!

  • Hope you had a good week off SW & managed to get some rest. Sorry to hear about the greenhouse. Did you use it much?

    Only for tomatoes but it's ok. I spent the day in the New Forest yesterday and have loads of work to do for tomorrow's lesson but it is payday tomorrow and i am so chuffed.

  • Felt like a long month between playdates.

  • Play dates or paydays MF ? Auto correct on here is terrible lately 😆

    Maybe your parents or handyman could salvage some of what’s left and help you make a tall “cold frame” or smaller greenhouse to grow your toms SW ?
