Evening all, lovely and bright here. just got in and chillin for the rest of the day :-D :-D

LG . Well done your lot, I am waiting with a big box of tissues for when OH gets back.

evening all been so busy just trying to catch up with thread and posts .it is a lovely day got all the washing out and dried been out to lunch did the shopping as Froggy was here to help A has been out at work had to be in the garage for 4am for a two man job to london gatwick and various drop offs on the way .so he will be tired too later .
hope H and PC will get the career that they would like .its so hard at times to stay focussed and train and as things change within the NHS its going to be more complicated

Evening Maz, Too right career chasing gets more difficult.

Thanks Paula, I am looking forward to seeing highlights later.

LG, I will have to watch it this evening, and sometimes fall asleep whilst it's on, and then have to watch it again on Sunday morning :-D
OH said your team played well.

Evening everyone.

Just preparing a meal, then feet up and relaxing :-D :-D I like >>>>>> a lot :-D :-D

Daughter H was hoping to go and watch match but she is at work today. Hopefully we will both have tickets for 28th.

OH has two sons and if they are working on a home match day, they take a days holiday.

Unfortunately she cannot take days off very easily

i keep finding jobs to do today ,A is back and out again he had a good sleep on route so has gone to see GF ,
LG you at least can have a break this weekend do you think you will miss brownies,I missed livewires at first but now i do shifts i wonder how i fitted it all in .I was looking at my garden today its far too wet to do much but i may do some weeding and tidy it up in stages

Evening Maz, I might miss the Brownies and Rainbows a little but will be quite busy as Archivist for my local HIstorical Society. I am really looking forward to it

Morning everyone.

I think spring might have sprung!! :-D :-D Another very pleasant day, albeit a heavy overnight frost, but as my mother used to say Ne'er cast a clout till May's out' :-D :-D

I think that the garden beckons today >>>>>>>>> not to sit in, but to start on some of the dreaded weeding :-P :-P

morning all LG is that you back delving again into the archives with Derek ?
YG i am going to make a start later too far too wet to do much My plan is to sweep up all the bits and start doing some weeding I have three days off at the end of the week so will do more then hopefully

Morning Maz.

I hope you don't get the rain that is forecast for this coming week then, otherwise we will all be tucked away indoors yet again!!

Trying to keep my garden tidy is like painting the Eiffel Tower! If the weather interrupts for a few days, what I have already done is ready for doing again before I have finished the rest! One of the downsides of only having weekends to do it :-P :-P

Morning all -

hope those who want to can get out in the garden today.
We had a quick trip down to the garden centre to buy some seed compost and Tomato seeds. OH left the compost bag near the back door so that I can do the planting on the kitchen worktop to save getting cold ;-)

He's gone to BM's to help with DIY - if I can get it done before he gets back, I can sneak the pots on to the spare room windowsill and he'll never know! :-D

PC hasn't heard about the job; we think that she probably wasn't first choice and they are either waiting for the successful applicant to accept formally, or there is a 'sorry' letter in the post.

At least she and her housemates have been able to sign up for the flat they looked at a couple of weeks ago. Because of her shift system and a run of 'nights', she probably won't move in until 2 weekends time.

Have a good day one and all

Morning DET. Have fun with the planting :-)

I need to go for compost but will leave it until next weekend and hope that the weather is suitable for me to refresh all the plant pots. I do need to get a couple of replacements pots as well. Will there ever be a week when I don't need to spend :-D

PC must be disappointed and it's not nice having to wait for a decision. There will be other opportunities for her, perhaps better than this one, but that won't pacify her at the moment.

I'm off to prep the dinner and get started, otherwise I will be sitting here all day :-D :-D

Enjoy your day everyone :-) :-)

I have done a little clearing its a lot colder than yesterday so have given up but i have filled the wheelie bin halfway so not bad its very muddy though .
Got a cotact on part of my tree first i have had for ages

Well done Maz.

I've been outside for about an hour before my back started to protest. The flower beds really need a good dig over, if OH can ever be persuaded!

9 runner bean seeds and 9 x 2 varieties of tomato plugs planted up. Those packets of tomato seeds are a bit of a swizz - only an average of 15 tiny seed per pack :-|

YG - have you thought of getting a box of fertiliser pellets to mix in with your flower planters?

Afternoon all, I dare not go to the garden centre as I have spent too much today already. :-(. Just been to the opticians and needed new specs they are ordered and paid for and tomorrow I have the dentist :-P :-P :-P. I have a terrible pain under my crown (no not the one on my head) :-D. I dread to think how much that is going to cost. :-0

Oh you poor thing - there's nothing worse than problems with your teeth. If they don't hurt your mouth, they hurt your wallet.

Fingers crossed it won't be as expensive as you fear......or that they can offer a payment plan if it is. <3 <3
