March Forward Into Spring 2026

Excellent work from you both @Soontobeoap and I hope you're feeling much improved, that sounds a shoddy time!

Today I have finished another little bottle of shower gel, and admittedly while we added them to the cupboards so it doesn't really count as eating down the cupboards, have salvaged some tentacled potatoes for dinner

What on earth are tentacles potatoes?

I've moved the old fridge from the garage into the utility room, and am going to use it to store bottled water, defrosted pet food, veg for pets and main fridge overflow. So I've washed it, the shelves and veg drawer, and have taken the seal off and left it in the sink with green bleach to soak. I'll stick it back together tomorrow, turn it on, and move stuff into it.

I used a break between work meetings to dig up the tulips that I loathe and have annoyed me since I moved here. They're now in a bucket, waiting to go in the garden waste bin at the weekend.

Potatoes that had eyes and evolved beyond 😂

Wow that's a productive day @greenbee! Do you have olio or similar near you, could someone take the tulips?

I'm struggling enough with FBMP ghosting. I don't need anymore idiots ruining my days :) Also the tulips are really, really ugly (red, orange, and acid yellow all in one flower).

They sound amazing, shame I don't live nearby, love a rebel flower 😂

greenbee

They're hideous, honestly. I like orange flowers, but these are awful.

Gift them to someone you don't like so you look like the nicer person but you also get the satisfaction of having given them something hideous 🥂

I think I'm finally over the lurgy so plans for the weekend might include - putting the skirting board back on, putting everything back on the landing after last weekends painting, cleaning coops, checking if dog food needs getting, putting drainpipe back together, roasting a massive leg of lamb, and portioning some up for the freezer.

I might also get my summer clothes down from the attic and put the winter jumpers up there.

Or I might ignore most of that and find other random jobs to do.
