    Hi Karma,

    Well my garden is a partly tamed widerness!! My fiancee (Sp?) moved in a year ago and looked very forelornly at the weed collection I had (Well I had been single for 2 years - no time for gardening!) and we have spent a small fortune in time and money:o on the garden this year, and covered an area of 30 x 5 ft yes! the top back corner.....
    We also relevelled the garden to get the slope to agree to the neighbours?! (Apparently that was necessary too), you can tell I am still learning a lot!
    Which involved moving muddy clay around, a lot!
    So that's our gardening problems, time (we both work full time) and the poor state of the garden and more importantly clay soil.

    What kind of planting do you hope to achieve once you have de-forrested?

    I have a Mystery shop today as well for double the fee, the agency actually phoned me up because they couldn't get anyone to do it....
    Which is my bad because I have not been checking their website regularly enough. Need to get better organised.

    Hi folks! I'm back from the mystery shops - kind of shocked at how unfit I am, actually - doing them on public transport, I had four bits of walking, each of 15-20 minutes, and I came home feeling absolutely terrible, so shattered. I've still only input one set of results. Its made me more determined than ever to get to grips with exercise every day; thinking about that big report that came out yesterday, I do pretty well on most of it except the exercise - so I'm going to be working up within the next two weeks to what it said, either 30 mins vigorous exercise every day, or an hour of moderate exercise. I'll have to work up to it cos I'm at such a low level!

    Pania - you're fit, aren't you? Sorry you're so unwell right you, I hope you gave the antibiotics a chance to work. I think I've sussed how to work the linky/upload thing again, and I'll give it a go later, but sorry sweetie, I won't be putting my own image on here - new and existing clients of mine do name searches on me, and now that you can image search on google as well (and my photo is on my leaflet) I'm not going to risk people finding my photo and all this diary and Michael Shanks stuff. Sorry! You'll laugh (hopefully!) when you see the way I've tried to scan as much of Michael, and as little of me, as possible!

    InTheRed - hope the m.s. went well, how nice to be so wanted - ringing and double the fee, excellent! The gardening - its a money pit, isn't it - at different times, I've spent more than two thousand pounds on the back garden, and it still looks like a hellhole (partly because I spent it on labour, not landscaping). Still, with my nephew's help, it should get better. I'll do a separate post later on about plans for the garden, cos actually thats a really good question! I'd appreciate your feedback, especially since it sounds like you have a steep slope too.

    Taxi - hi there! I know, I think I must have been resisting the process or something! I'm really glad I've done it, as I think I posted earlier, I've been amazed by how different it is to post on my diary as opposed to posting on others'.

    Right, now to do the second data input. Bye for now, folks!:cool:

    Sounds like an ok day! At least the weather was good for your various walks!

    Hi guys, yes, it has been productive - I've just popped off to do the input thingy, and realised I made a mistake on the sequence of events.... if I don't get the money, then I don't hi ho, its my fault. Just posted on pania's diary, so I'm going to hop over to yours, hypno, and then make a salad and a quick tea - an omelette may be calling me....

    Heavens, look what I promised to do yesterday - gardening plan, and the Michael photos. Nope. :o And definitely not doing them today either - leave for London just after midday, and just got some client work for the morning, so thats it really. Any spare time, I'll try and do a little bit of accounts listing rather than post on here, or work on the kitchen - I broke a glass dish on .... Tuesday, I think, and I'm still dealing with the aftermath of glass shards. Told you I was a slob! :o

    I really need to stop *waiting" for posts to be made on people's diaries, and playing freecell in the meantime, thats such a timewaster, of time I just don't have. :eek: Its all the fault of mse that I'm a slob! Who cares about personal responsibility! :rotfl:
