Well done
Good to get another job done.
Contrary to my previous post, I dug 2/3rds of the border over. Hoping to finish it tomorrow once I stop walking like a bent over 90 year old :rotfl:Back on the DFW Wagon:

Good going, but tomorrow you'll be worse. I refuse to call it gardening, it's hard labour!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0

I do like a good days hard labour, but I need to be in the mood for it! My hard labour today involves planting one sunflower that DD has been carefully cultivating on the windowsill!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Bizarrely I don't ache this morning, was expecting it. Just the neck problem is in one shoulder/down an arm. Nothing codeine won't solve so I can finish the job!
I'll raise your sunflower for a hydrangeathe Ald! bought one will get planted today.

Glad to hear your all green fingered! I sadly am not and leave that squarely to Mrs SJ and her mum! Accounts posting next...though i've had a big change of plan and not made a bonus payment to get 2 bricks coloured. Mrs SJ has a hen do which im trying to cover with everyday spends rather than dipping into holiday funds. A shame but the sensible thing to do with £50!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0

Fantastic month, almost identical figures again
So close to being under £120k you should hit that this month and I will be close behind next monthvery jealous of your daily interest, being self employed im more limited on offers. You snaffled a great deal there
Also a 2 brick month coming up for you, may is going to be good in the MFW SJ household!0
