    Another vote for just getting on and getting outside stuff done. After all, if you're clean and then do messy stuff, you'll just need to get clean later :) (Having said that I had a shower after my workout as thanks to having builders here all week I haven't really had a chance to wash my hair and it needed it!

    Ha, thank you for your advice, both of you! I went with a shower first - I can't STAND my hair being in need of a wash, it just makes me generally feel incompetent 🙈 so I am at least dressed and have had breakfast. Heading into town with Mr C to pick up my prescription and a birthday card, then we'll see where we are with the weather.

    So basically I've not done what either of you suggested, sorry 😂😂

    If your hair needed washing then the shower was definitely a good idea. At least you've moved :)

    I’ve finally today got a code for octopus coffee - they all expire on Sunday as normal so you don’t get them for 7 days

    So you mind me asking about the wild garlic? I'm keen to plant some but buying bulbs seems so expensive, any tips or are you relocating from somewhere else on your land?

    Thanks @dawnybabes you prompted me to try and I've got one now! 

    @CCW007 I bought a plant from a little farm shop for £4. It looks like it might have several bulbs so I might be able to separate 😊
