    If you hold the tool with the other hand it'll feel like someone else is doing the gardening!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I would be careful who you lend it to though, dont want it coming back with a fungus growing on it due to inapropriate usage.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Yup you just cant trust others to look after your tools the way you would.

    Well if you lend them out with the proper cover on, then there is much less of an excuse.

    Oh great its only flaming well snowing here now, has it reached you yet Z? Have just broken up for hols for two weeks too. Was planning on knocking the heating off for the summer too!!

    We are on bottled gas here as we are so rural and it is costing a fortune. That and the fact that we have an ancient back boiler for central heating. Last month our gas bill was £128 for the month thats 4 bottles and the heating was only on for about 4 hours a day if that.

    Roll on the summer! Saying that I cant hide under sloppy jumpers and jeans then and will have to show myself a bit more:eek:
