  • Would love to sit there with a drink watching the garden , lovely job on the chairs . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

  • The chair looks great 😊 and what a lovely view. I hate it when people chop trees down they should spend more time considering where they are going to plant them in the first place. My neighbours wanted me to chop my trees down but I said no, for a start they hide the neighbours ugly garden and they have been there for years before my neighbours moved in

    I’ve had an email from work saying I have reached phase 3 of the sickness policy and they are referring me to occupational health to begin early retirement or redeployment proceedings. It will be what it will be. I’m still not sure I could manage work atm. I’m getting there but not fast enough for work 😏

    So a bit of a stressful, meh day. We had another appointment with the man from the bank....he was proposing locking some money away for 6 years - not masses but some of dh inheritance..... I was concerned about this.....but he just kept prattling on last time. Anyway when I told him today I might not be earning a wage fairly soon he suggested we postpone the meeting in which he was giving all the details of his proposals. I think he needs kicking into touch because what he was suggesting was not what we enquired about 😳 but I’m a bit intrigued to see what he suggests 😏
    Dh has put new curtains in the back bedroom and put the shelving units and mirror back. I am going to make a throw out of some material I very nearly threw out for the bed settee. It’s coming together. So now it’s down to dh to sort his stuff and decide if he wants to be surrounded by clutter or nice things he can use 😂😂😂😂watch this space. I’ve suggested he put an old tv he’d kept on the wall for himself....but to do that he needs to get rid of a big bookcase and it’s contents. I wouldn’t mind he never looks at the books
    The upshot was we ended up having fish and chips for tea.....so much for my good sw intentions. It is what is is 😏 I think getting the email from work has got to me even though it’s what I was expecting and I think deep down is what I want. Just made it real seeing it in print.

    At least you know where you stand with work and can plan accordingly. Mr SA has a shelf full of books he’ll never read again but infuriatingly won’t get rid of. I think you deserved that fish and chips tea, tomorrow is another day.
