Excellent work there lass on both the list crossing off and overdraft closing! :j :j
Ooh, and painting tables! What colour did you go for? I have a cheery little metal table that has got a rusty top - I need to go at it with the heat gun and then give it a spray paint but putting it off as I don't know what colour to go :rotfl: It's mint green at the minute (kind of) but wilkos don't have that colour paint :rotfl: Also can't decide whether to do the whole lot or just the rusty bit!
Hmm, will ponder
Also need to do some other plant-related tasks today
- plant out the rest of my raspberry canes
- plant out the poor willow which I brought from the old house and is patiently waiting in a bundle getting its leaves on
- plant the fuchsia cuttings I took that I also brought from the old house
- and the rosemary cuttings, oh dear!
- and plant some more seeds! Always more seeds! Leeks fell off the potting bench in the plastic greenhouse (oops) so might need to sow some more...
Wish I had your jet lagged energy!
