    Good morning and happy Wednesday ☕️🍫📚🧁
    I have an awkward customer call to get through today, I’m not cut out for this standing my ground business! Sadly you can’t people please everyone when you are stuck in the middle 🤔
    Anyhow, only 2 days to the long weekend 😁
    I ended up spending on some plant pots and soil discs yesterday, so I definitely do not want to spend today! 
    Two and a bit weeks to payday…still! 😧
    I hope you all have lovely stress free days filled with all good things 🍫📚☕️

    Ooh what we planting? I likes gardening and growing things I does. 😁
    Smile when on call it makes you sound better apparently. Lots of reasuring noises that your listening to them and understand where they coming from but your hands are tied etc etc. I have lots of awkward calls as credit control is part of my job 🤣

    Morning
    Happy hump day :) I'm on leave this week but seem to have spent most of it in the car :( Have done 21 hours driving between Sat - Tuesday.  Anyway I have caught up with some of my family and safely delivered DD2 back to her uni flat along with a stock of food and 4 portions of HM soup for her freezer.  We took the scenic route yesterday and stopped off for a walk and late lunch. Today i am not planning on getting in the car nor spending any money! 
    love Deni

    You do need a rest @Deni_debt-free_dreamer!
    @moving_forward I have a wild garden and everything indoors gets eaten, so I’m not a green fingered expert 🤣 I have some seeds I want to get going inside, then when they are big enough to go out I expect the wild rabbits will eat them 😧 it’ll be a challenge! I need plastic pots as I popped some in a coffee glass to start them off and ‘someone’ smashed it into the sink in the wee small hours  🐈‍⬛ 🙄

    Empty loo rolls. Put in old ice cream tub/ mushroom container etc. 
    When planting out give each one a plastic bottle cloche to protect.

    I thought about a plastic bottle cloche, but with reducing plastic use we don’t actually have any 🤣
