     Granny kate, that is a shocker. 

     The back garden is clear. Everything is at the front of the house now. I do have a lot of garden stuff.

      A lot of communication with our solicitor yesterday.We have a provisional date of 30th September to move. Not plain sailing as we now hear someone further up the chain has issues. I have realised why this move is so stressful compared to previous moves. The chuffin internet. Contact from the solicitor several times a day informing every high and low. I think in the past you would only get to hear of things on a need to know basis. Progress has been made though. I did get a little sleep last night.

     Today we are off to Sheffield. My bangle with all my rag tag collection of diamonds is ready. Sounds very grand to have a diamond collection. Just unworn rings really.

     We have some of the smaller garden pots in the car. They can live in DD1's garden for a bit. I just thought it would help slightly on the day, I have possibly 50 pots and it's not something that can stack.

    My lovely Step son is on a rest day on our move date, so is his very loved up girlfriend. He is checking if she would mind if he came to help! They both work for the ambulance service and rarely have a day off together. I would feel very much better if he was on our team. Fingers crossed that she can spare him. <3 

     I may have asked for a set of drawers at 1 am today. I was very surprised to get a reply straight away. We will collect them on our way home. Just the job for the new bathroom. Obviously they will need some work but they will be just the job. I have converted Mr V to furniture restoration. He properly enjoys it.

     Gotta go Vx

    Hi all, absolutely lovely day yesterday. Drive up to Lytham was easy and arrived early so time for a chat before we went out for lunch. We went to Lytham Hall which had a lovely cafe. The weather was perfect. I would have liked to walk around the grounds but my friend T is waiting for a hip replacement so she couldn't manage it. I will return another time 😁. After lunch we went back to her sister's house and sat in the garden in the sun for a couple of hours chatting and catching up 😁. Her sister had an apple tree in her garden that had come from her Mum's garden. She was like a second Mum to me when I was at college 😁. I was gifted some apples from the tree so apple crumble will be made today 😂. I left about 5.30 as they were going out for tea with T's ds who is celebrating his 40th, how did that happen 😂. Drive home was easy as well 😁.
    After tea all I did was clear some emails and a bit of crochet 😁. My new driving licence has arrived so I have checked that over and put it away safe. 
    Ln has ordered a new chair from the Swedish shop and it is being delivered today but it is flat pack so I have volunteered to help her with that when it arrives. I am usually quite good with these things but I am curious to see how this will work as it is an upholstered wingback chair 😁. I also need to pop to the sm for some bits.

    @Vulpix well 30th isn't so far away now, hugs. Re the pots if they are empty could you use some bubble wrap or even newspaper to sort of wrap and stack in a box of some kind? Or could you store some at your Mum's/ db's garden for a couple of weeks or would that be too difficult to ask? I have sent you a message. Eta reply received 😁

    Right time to get weaving
    Hugs to everyone who would like one
