Really tired today, must be all that exercise!
-potted up 24 tiny aubrietia plug plants that arrived today
-walked up to village PO to post a parcel. Whole village is talking about yesterday's break-in.
-tackled frog :T: have finally got round to putting 2 saddles on Gumtr££ which I've been "not getting round to" for about 3yrs. Also put freezer on it.
- Mr N painted back of house and edges round windows, with me hovering to make sure he didn't fall off conservatory roof
- chatted with postie, bravely doing his round after yesterday's episode. He said he wanted to face the demons and get it over with. I said well done, I'm sure being threatened of being stabbed is not in his job description.
-had long chat with mum and decided what excursions we want on hol, and booked them.
- went to town to get more paint and curiously found 2 large beautiful half price Heucheras in my basket...........
-got a few odds & ends from Ald1 while I was there
-watered greenhouse, patio, baskets etc
I think that's pretty much it really. It has been 30 degrees today and I don't do heat as well as I used to.

Dancemum- OH checked the phones tonight and on one of them he found a picture of me two weeks overdue with ds1. I was huge!! That we never got printed off! And newborn pictures of ds1 in hospital! Now just got to work out how to print them off an archaic phone! Glad I didn't just chuck them!!

Tonight, was a bit of a white wash! We travelled 45 minutes to find out that the party is tomorrow night! Doh! So an hour and a half wasted driving! Lol! The annoying thing is that I have to do it all again tomorrow!

Anyway not too much planned for tomorro so hope to get some bits done around the house. I must do a tip run tho as we have boxes and bags in the garden full of hedge trimmings!

Evening all

Back from our jollies, a long day of driving but happy to be back in one piece.

DS1 moved out this evening with his GF to a rented flat about 25 minutes away (in your direction Narco). This week will be about catching up, getting straight and collating all the stuff they have left behind.

For now though time to set the WM.

Morning all

WM1&2 done and on the line WM3 in progress - race before the rain arrives.

Alternating between I'm going to declutter, deep clean and despair as I always do post holiday.

For now a shower and a cheeky hour dead heading/cutting back in the garden for that is the easiest area to take control of.

Have a good day all.

Morning all

Frizzle - It did after an hour soaking in as hot as I could stand it water :rotfl:

Yesterday flying didn't really happen after my bath, however we did a lot of baking. DD had a go at a plated loaf, I made 2 loaf cakes and 6 lots of 1lb loaves The spares are in the freezer, and I've had some for breakfast.

Today I've already got a 2nd wash load on, and tidied up the kitchen. Not sure what we're going to do with the rest of the day. I was going to make my Christmas cake but there's not enough room in the freezer to store it (Its alcohol free ) so that'll have to wait. :wave:

Valli

I have re-hung some of yesterday's washing which got wet 'on the top' while hanging on the line and brought some back in and put out today's.

What I am wondering abotu doing is getting in the back garden and doing some digging up; the wet will have softened the soil; the strawberry bed (and would also be the 'allotment' had I planted anything) is covered in grass - fortunately that seems to be choking out the bittercress - but I know if I weed the bittercress will return - hopefully I can keep on top of it by hoeing.

You're always welcome to drop in if you're in the area. Silly thing to say really, as if you're in the area you will be visiting them......but you know what I mean.

Hope you had a good time.
