I've been looking forward to this weekend for a few days.
Nothing to do but catch up with odds and ends at home . Always means that we end up busier than ever of course!
Stan went off to a friends house this morning and the rest of us went up to say goodbye to the allotment. We feel we gave it a good shot (just going into our fourth year) but we've never really worked hard at it and there are others who could do a better job. Kate and paul will be taking on the plot once baby comes along - which will hopefully be in the next couple of weeks. Nervous?
but of course, that's part of the excitement.
Cleared out the shed so we now have tools at home, and brought back the gooseberry bushes but left the strawberries and apple tree. There' snothing planted yet and the beds are dug over, weeded and look generally very lovely.
Cleaning and stuff this afternoon, bit of this, bit of that - and now I'm in the office catching up with the 'domestic' side of that. Haven't done it since Christmas and the place is looking a bit shabby. Much better now tho - the recent company to leave one of the rooms have left not only the notice boards (which I'm having for church!) but also a hoover! At last we don't have to bring one in from home any more and carry it up three flights of stairs.
Trivial pleasures: Tesco this afternoon and I paid! With money from my own account!! Perhaps things are picking up. It felt good when the cashpoint gave me £100 and I enjoyed handing it over at the checkout.
Paid everyone at work on Wednesday too - which might even mean the money goes in before the mortgage bounces again. What is the problem with realtime banking?? That would be great - but of course the banks would lose HOW MUCH money on all the interest and sharedealing that goes on while money is between accounts...
