    Hi pippi, I'm making a forage back into the boards after a long rest from them. Nice to see lots of familiar names on your thread. I'm even considering breaking with my own tradition and starting a diary and seeing how i get along.

    Woo hoo nice to see you on here and happy happy new diary sorry was lost in a fog of handmaidens tale and speaking to ds at a ridiculus time of night down under.

    I think I'm going to enjoy your new diary I'm ramping up to have one of my own as I've got a giant list to get through by 50 :eek:

    Waves to all above slept late cos of silly late call so I'm about to skidaddle.

    Yesterday scored free onions from work to add to the onion mountain and some goosegogs.

    We had a takeaway - shh don't tell but it was £13 and payday and officially last second job day so kind of a wee celebration although I didnt' write up the final handover due to laziitis.

    So I'll try and finish that today - and no the cc hasn't shown up on the online account INOD and Beanie I'll send them on to you.

    Cheery and Starnac waves hello and EH anytime me dear beer fest mid to late Nov I think but not much in the diary the now x

    I intend to sit down at lunchtime and update my own diary and then will be in touch...I'm pretty sure the Beer Fest weekend is already booked up with something but no matter - tis you, him & the hounds I'm coming to see, not the beer! :D:T

    Good for you for having a celebratory takeaway too - I should think that was indeed deserved!

    definitely a well deserved take away.

    Hey LT me too on both fronts.

    EH - diary open......

    Beanie thank you me dear.

    Well yesterday was a flurry of tattie harvesting and onion sorting (we have white rot yuck). And some more naturalistic garden design talking too.

    Scored free spinach, onions and tatties from work - only the scraggy ones but that's OK.

    Walked mutts and steps called in at 20.5k too tired to walk anymore!

    Busy day at the garden today - so best tottle off CC still hasn't appeared on the online banking......?

    Have a good one.

    Think it might be time to ring up about that Credit card Stripes. Not good that it hasn't reappeared.

    It turned up today - wouldn't you just know it.

    Morning lands

    Yesterday was a frenzy of tattie digging and I was fair puggled when home. Pizza for tea and then slumped into a movie.

    Mutts crashed too - rain was pretty torrential through the night but OK afterwards - suns oot the noo. :T

    I wrote my invoice so that's done although handover not complete yet I've a few hours by for that. :rotfl: One day I'll finish I'm sure.

    DD meet up on Friday night and its harvest day today.

    Lunch is leftover veg and some fish which will be nice.

    Contemplating a new diary to give the focus to clearing the cc's and OD's before I hit 50 next april.

    I do clearly need focus as I've been working post full time for over a year now and still have the same level of OD and the cards are creeping up.
