Back to work today. It's very refreshing not to have to do the school run as well, it feels like I've got hours of uninterrupted concentration time! Of course that won't be the case once everyone else starts logging on and the kids start pestering for food, though they've already had breakfast. I was up bright and early so that I can finish in time for dinner tonight and am already halfway through the gazillions of emails that seem to have landed since Thursday.
I need to find a good deal on hayfever tablets today, as we are nearly out, and my hayfever is bad today. I've also got to order my shopping for tomorrow, and that budget will be limited to whatever is left in my current account. Roll on Friday!

Happy Thursday! I'm very glad it's the end of my week, it's been a tough 2 days
I managed to get what I needed to done though, so at least I'm ahead for next week.
I've just listed 11 items for DH on top of the three I did earlier in the week. Hopefully they will sell and it will encourage him to get on with sorting more!
Swimming tonight with little miss.
Tomorrow I plan on doing nothing. We've been chasing around all over the place, so I need to catch up with some stuff around the house (and hopefully finish my book at last!). Not sure what we'll be up to for the rest of the weekend.
It's quite windy here today, but otherwise not bad out there so the washing dried nicely today. DH has tied the Holly bush up as it looked like it was blowing over.
I found a random lavender plant growing on the step! I don't know where it's come from unless it was in the wildflower seeds I planted last year, but no lavender grew last year. I love lavender but I haven't been successful when I've tried planting it here and this plant is nowhere near where I'd had some plants before.

Can you transplant the lavender? Or will it be ok where it is? It sounds like my winter pansies which died in the hanging basket and then self seeded a complete carpet of multicoloured pansies all over the drive.Enjoy your lovely long weekend.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
