    I think you can be forgiven two books.

    Could you spend the money you're spending on solicitor reducing the price, instead paying solicitor to put the land and house in the name of someone you don't like 😁

    Evening all

    Spent a good part of the morning either in the garden or giving some care to my plant babies. Tomatoes are doing well and I have had an email to say some more are their way to me. That was a surprise as I had forgotten I had ordered some. If I can find room for all the plants and they continue to do well I shall have lots later in the year.

    Played ball with Bear in the garden but he wont play for long and certainly doesnt bring his ball back. He walked quite nicely today and this morning he managed to largely ignore another dog who was running towards him chasing a ball. Some days he would go balistic at that so lots of praise given.

    Lounge dusted, dishwasher cleaned.

    Exercise done for the first time in a couple of days as I keep forgetting.

    Surveys done.

    No Money spent - Hooray. Bank accounts checked.

    A large car boot joblot partly photographed so will need to finish tomorrow. It that sells then I will not be listing anuthing for a while as it is stuff I have tried to sell but has not gone. It is all good stuff but having to add postage makes some things hard to sell. If it doesnt sell fairly quickly it will go to the charity shop as soon as I can carry it.

    No other news so have a good evening.

    Evening all

    Spent some time on my hands and knees (ouch) going over the lounge carpet with a damp cloth trying to get dog hair up. The vacuum is ok but I can get to the edges more easily when I am down there, also washed the kitchen floor while I was grovelling on the floor. Bear tried to help but as he was breathing on my pile fo dog fluff I shooed him off.

    Exercise done first thing.

    Started of a plant kit that I was given for Christmas. As it was out of date when I got it I dont know if the seeds will grow but have followed the instruction so will have to wait. They are for marigolds, fennel and something else I cant remember at the moment. The tomato plants havent arrived yet -hopefully tomorrow.

    Bank checked and a couple of small amounts added to Christmas and savings.

    One item sold and will post in the morning. The joblot is listed and also another item.

    A couple of small surveys completed.

    The highlight of my day was a friends visit with a bunch of flowers for Mothers day. She was quite upset when I mentioned my dd never does anything except a text meassage if I'm lucky. She (our friend) is one of the kindest people I know and I was very touched at her thoughtfulness. They are in pride of place in the lounge.

    Still nothing on the house or land sale. Mr LH is very depressed and is very hard to live with at the moment. I dont know what will happen if either sale fails but will cross that bridge when/ if we get to it.

    Thats my lot for tonight. Have a good evening.

    I've considered one of these for getting cat fur off stairs.
