    Well up this morning tired (as friend on phone till after midnight) to a lovely sunny morning, hope it stays that way. Looking forward to the weekend and a good rest (chance would be a fine thing).

    And only just realised its a 5 week month. And breathe . . .

    Bex - can i send you my gutters, fascias and conservatory to clean please whilst you have good weather? I good trade a dog walking service??

    As for 5 week months. Mrs SJ gets paid every 4 weeks which can be tricky with organising finances, but it is one positive when we hit the 5 week months! Deep breathe and plough through it.

    Thanks for that Bexster, I can just imagine my shed driving down the motorway :D almost like these houses they build in the States . . . like a mini caravan with wheels and they just drive about in order to save having a mortgage (must be tired) cannot think of the name for them. :o

    Seems they build these in the old Usa to avoid large mortgages and can move home without all the expenses :D

    Ever heard "If only I could have this house in "that" location ;)

    I wonder . . . . will it ever catch on here ? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ok, so mind willing :), body not so :o

    Loads to do - list endless - one scored off, 2 added on :( and not feeling great for it, everything piling on top at the moment.

    So plan of action needed, list jobs and stick to it - one thing at a time and by end of May list complete :rotfl: so long as nothing else added on.

    Paint bought for porch roof but found out it's too high for me. Picture in my mind that I get up there, then ladder somehow falls over and I'm stuck up on a flat roof :rotfl: which doesn't help :rotfl:

    My imagination can sometimes run away with itself. So it's painting on the ground for me with a little stool to reach to top of the shed, then onto the fence, after that if I have time the hedge needs cut down - again - probably nearly 8-9 feet high - should be around 5 and half feet - that way I can reach it - just. Then there's the grass - you get the picture . . . .

    Washing no.2 nearly finished - hope I have enough line to put it on . . .

    Will report back - that may give me motivation to get something done.
