Moving on up! 🏡

Thanks Hetty! They are loving it and it's quite troublesome getting them back in 🤣

Three cleaning jobs done this morning and when I got home we put together a couple of sun loungers. As you can imagine they didn't stay mine and DH's for long before the dogs were on them and chilling out in the sunshine! We had a lawnmower delivered today, so will probably have a go with that tomorrow, although I think the batteries will need charging first.

We're having a trip to the garden centre tomorrow and I can't wait! My main buys will be a spade and a buddlehia. DH has said I should go with a list so I don't get carried away, but who cares what he thinks 🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely! You've earned this garden 😀!

I went crazy when I went from a postage stamp garden to a 50+ft one. It was like a luxury 🤣 and I spent any spare pennies I had on plants! I filled a lot of my garden with Mr M weekly deal plants and Mr Al ones! So quite cheap 😃

Thanks SC and DFW! X

We had a lovely trip to the garden centre. We had coffee and a scone then DH bought me a bird feeder stand, a couple of bird feeders and some bird food. I've downloaded the merlin app so I can identify what's about and I'm hoping for some little visitors. I have recently found the Sean Bean Birding podcast on YouTube and highly recommend it if you like feeding the birds and watching them.

I got my spade and my buddlehia, then I got a viburnum, a hebe, some foxgloves, lavender, lupin and verbena. DH said I was like a kid at Christmas 🤣 I've missed gardening so much since moving back from Yorkshire, where I had a lovely garden that I'd spent 10years working on, so this means a huge amount to me. Gardening has a huge impact on my mental health, so it's nice to be able to do it again. There is one side of fencing that needs to be replaced so I need to get a quote from my brother to do that. Once that's done, I can dig out a little pond over that side of the garden 🙂

I've done a load of washing and that's outside on the airers, I need a washing line! I'm thinking about getting a retractable one, so need to look into that ASAP. I've then enjoyed an episode of Gardeners World with a cup of tea and a kit kat on the sofa with the dogs.

It's been a good Sunday. I hope everyone is enjoying there's x

I have a retractable washing line, do get a pole if you get a retractable, as it helps with the weight of the clothes on the line x great plant purchases x

The old owner actually left a pole, so that's alright. His washing line is a bit makeshift though 🤣

I'm waiting an activation code from virgin money to be able to log on to the mortgage and it has to come through the post, so that's a bit annoying. I want to get overpaying it!

I've booked this morning off and I'm just waiting for the plumber to arrive. He said 10am and its now 10:30 🙄 I have to get into work for 12, so he best get a wiggle on!

Congratulations on your new home Jessy, so glad everything went smoothly (aside from cancelling the van 😆), I hope you will be very happy there ❤️

Thank you NG x

Well, I've made my first overpayment this morning! I got the activation code yesterday and logged straight on. The balance was £191,274.53, so I've made a test overpayment using my online banking of £274.53. Unfortunately, you can't do it through their website or app like natwest. I wish all mortgage companies did the same, it would make life so much easier! Anyway, that's why I call it a test overpayment. I can see how long it takes to update the total and then I know for future.

It's been a stressful week, lots of stress at office job and then busy with cleaning jobs. I have 3 hours of cleaning to do and then next week i shall take Good Friday off, I'm looking forward to a little break! I did get some purple brocoli from one of my customers yesterday so will decide what to do with that this weekend

Boyo is here visiting this weekend before going back to Lowestoft. We had Chinese last night and we are having pizza with my parents tonight. Bit of a naughty food weekend!

Have a good one all! X

P.s i hate this new text box, it keeps trying to predict what I type but leaving random letters! 😫
