    Good for nothing now.:eek:

    Neither would I.;)

    First day of the half term holidays today. I have managed to get some sorting out done and have noticed I'm getting a little more ruthless. Lots to carry on with though.

    I was going to take DS out but he has another cold. Will it ever end.:eek:

    Hopefully we will have one dry day. I'm desperate to get out into the garden.

    And that's about as exciting as I get at the moment apart from continuing mid life crisis. sorry.:o

    Ooh me too Parsnip. Is it too early to prune?
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100

    Depends what you are pruning? Ok for roses I think, not for hydrangeas.

    Thanks. Nope you didn't miss the detail. I'm far too embarrassed to detail it at the moment.:o I'm sure it would give everyone a huge laugh though. A story of lust lost, choking on pizza and feeling generally sorry for myself.;)

    Not much to prune in my garden at the moment. It just needs a very big clear up and a big of organising. By the way I'm a very slapdash gardener and just tend to throw things in and hack away as needed. Don't take any advice from me.:eek:

    My hydrangeas were attacked in the autumn. I'm surprised they have survived so many years.:rotfl:

  • Hydrangeas are one of the few things I do know, the rest I just make up as I go along. I'm a big fan of cut a third of everything out and hope for the best.

    :rotfl:I just hope for the best. I do tend to get lucky though.

    I've had a good morning. The house was very dusty due to my aversion to vacuuming so an hour with the vacuum has made a difference. I have realised a hour a week have a through vacuum would make such a difference. I know most folks have already figured this out.;):rotfl:.It's starting to get easier to do as I throuw out more stuff as well.

    I'm having a bit of lunch then going to see what I can do next. A few more things from the spare room would help with storing stuff from other rooms, such as a set of drums.:eek:

    I'm trying not to pressurise myself too much but I would like to be completely decluttered by the long summer break as I have two weeks alone before DS breaks up so could get meatier jobs sorted then.

    I also have a bit of an uplift with my business bits and bobs so a few more pennies to be coming in.

    I hope you're all having a nice day and the sun is shining.:)
