    SL, loving the thought of your own asparagus :) most of my plants seem to be doing really well, except the new chives from last year. Jobs I've been doing, rather than faffing hopelessly:
    - opened all the post and distributed it :)
    - pruning at the front border
    - linked up my bank account with the builder, to pay easily.
    - shredding, but the poor little shredder got bunged up, I'll try and get some veg oil in there, but it smelt a bit burned, tbh - nearly done, though, and I won't bother buying a replacement if it's died.

    Just seen my bills - telecoms are definitely too much, a tenner too much, so that might be useful work I can do while I'm confined by the building work. All's well,though :)

    Also just seen the ceiling (two layers of plasterboard!) being pulled down in the kitchen, that's quite a sight!

    Glad you're okay and it's all going well but ugh to the ceiling coming down (necessary, I know, for kitchen rewiring) - so much dust and dirt! :eek:

    Ditto what rtandon said about the post - very impressive! :p

    I've really got myself a rep now for not-opening-the-post :o :rotfl: oh dear! But all comments and all good wishes are appreciated :kisses3:

    I've taken it very slow this evening - and the reality of almost 3 weeks of doing washing up is sinking in :eek: I don't like to say it, but it's a stressful time, and I'm going to use disposables :(

    In the meantime, I'm tucked in bed with a cuppa and the laptop, as tomorrow is the third day in a row of a 6.30 alarm.

    Absolutely, needs must - and I'm well aware that whileI was working, my 4 days a week when Iworked at home were down to luck, not planning - I only commuted one day a week,which is remarkable.


    Night night, RT, sleep well xxx
