Hope you are okay after the bee sting. Your garden in coming together.

Thank you.

It was a stealthy bee, came out of nowhere, stung my leg then walked off! After a bit started flying around the greenhouse getting frustrated at not being able to find the door, as did the other one. So pleased I had a huge bucket to catch and shoo them out.

First time I've been stung by a bee 🤫

My leg is itchy, swollen round the sting and a bit stingy, but hopefully it will calm overnight.

It is coming together, OH was outside for ages today and also did the downstairs neighbour front garden.

I need to do some weeding as the growing garden is getting them spikey weeds coming through all over the place.

@ForestBluebells they were amazing, got them from m0rr1$0n$ yum-yum!

Ouchy to bee sting 🐝 not sure if the stinging is the worst bit or the itching. Hope it settles down. Maybe a cold compress might help ?

I'm trying to to think about it so watching TV, talking and surfing the net 🙈

Sadly, I can't do 'cold' due to all the nerve damage I have. Hopefully it will calm down, if I don't touch it.

I have a small tub of sudacrem in my first aid box. My mum once got bitten on her foot by a spider in my garden and rubbed sudacrem on it to stop the itching. Blooming nature ! 😆

@Skint_yet_Again I've got a tub of that! I've been joking all evening that I'm going to turn into a superhero called beewoman! Ouch to getting a spider bite 😬

I hope you are better. I'm phobic about bees. I have got better as I am maturing but it was after my sister was stung as a child.  hope the sud@cream works. You have done so well with all your pots. I only have 4 pots xmas fund, mortgage/savings for retirement in same account, current account, I just have work pension. 
OMG, my garden is a wilderness after one week of not being tended. Yours sounds brilliant.

About 1/5 of my lower leg is bee sting red / sore. I'm reluctant to go near them at the moment, but hope it passes soon as they are so beautiful to watch.

My garden is springing weeds up all over the place, each one I get rid of means a handful replace it 🙈 will be weeding the weekend, planting spuds and fennel. It is slowly coming together and OH should be ordering the bulk manure / compost soon then the growing section will look a lot nicer. 
Only waiting on one tomato to flower and one pepper to get the buds. 
Roses are still not opening up, but more buds are appearing every few days.

I thought it was easier to have different saving pots as they all need different amounts saved. I guess it's a way of focusing and meeting goals, it worked so well before. It means when the one pot has got what it needs, I can then split the money normally paid in between the other pots, keep going until they are all at the amount I want 😊

My CC took the payment, even though I had already made it payday. I owe less on the two installment plans I did and it will be cleared by the end of next month. If I do these plans again, I will cancel the DD and stick to manual payments as it doesn't override the DD like it does when paying in full. 
Had to move some money from my spare fund to top my account back up, but moved the surplus to my other pots 😁

Cheekily still at £50, 14 days til payday.

Had veg risotto for tea.

Glad money management is going well. Hope the weather cooperates with you this weekend.

Hope your leg is feeling better MF & you can get out and enjoy your garden this weekend. 

I just make manual payments to my credit card as I don’t like the idea of direct debit, especially that it doesn’t reduce if you make a separate payment. It’s great that you will have paid it off next month 🤗
