Evening both, I am cream crackered from gardening so I have sat crafting all afternoon.
My oldest stepson does the really heavy stuff for us in the garden,today he moved a couple of heavy rocks that we could not move ourselves.
Well done with the exercise YG :-D

Hi Maz :-) :-)

My gardener doesn't take the waste, although he did during lockdown when the green bins were full. I normally cope well with it. He will be trimming the tops of the hawthorn and doing the sides and top of the privet to tidy it up for the winter. The hawthorn will start losing its leaves anytime now, so the sides don't need doing.

I am just waiting for a cheese & onion quiche to warm through, then I can have my meal, Salad with it tonight and I have also been for a walk right round the lake in the park across the road, so a bit of extra exercise today :-) :-)

Hi YG our rates are the same I think so its not bad I am having the whole of the hedges trimmed it is a big job and to get it taken away is the bonus .
The weather has been quite good again today .
ZZzzz is quiet today unless she is pushing lots of ZZs up catching up on her sleep .

Evening everyone :-)

Maz, that's not good news for your gardener. I hope it is treatable for him :-(

I have two men, working for 1.5 hours and it costs me £32, which I find a bit steep, but it is what it is and it saves me a lot of work, They come once every four weeks from March to November. During the growing season, R comes in between their visits to cut and edge the grass.

The washer was fixed today and I put in load in after he left so decided to put another cleaner through a cycle and the washer was dead. He thinks he might ot have pushed the plug in properly as it was ok when he tested it, so the cycle that I used might have just shaken it loose, He is coming back in the morning as I cant pull it out on my own :-0

LG, I am managing about the same amount of sleep as you. Usually by the time I've tidied round and cleaned make up off, its getting on 11p when I settle down and I am still waking at 4ish -| :-| :-| :-| I think we both need a hammer over our heads :-D :-D

ZZzzz, I hope you are well today and have a good day. No moles to contend with now!!

evening all
well i managed to get a gardener obviously needed the work as he reduced the quote so hopefully Monday ,My main thing is getting rid of the rubbish as I have a green bin but it fill so quickly .Anyway fingers crossed he will be alright and If my other lad is not available then maybe I will be able to use this one again

They don't come cheap Maz do you know anyone with someone who is out of work that wants to earn a few bob

just trying to find a gardener now I have had two quotes both floored me but may have to bite the bullet and get it done

Morning Maz, that is sad news about your gardener and so young too.
I am pleased your radiator is fixed with the cold weather coming up.I have just come in for caffeine and feet up after being in the garden for a good while.I have had the shredder out and it is so satisfying being destructive on something that doesn't matter. The garden bin is now full to the brim again ready for Wednesday :-D :-D

My gardener bless him is unable to work they have just found a tumour on his brain he is the same age as My son bless him .just looking for some more help now .

Morning all
I have had my radiator fixed it was a combination of all the thermostats some broken so its working now .its way too warm now lol
May it continue .Next is the gardener at lunch time Its a lovely bright sunny day again .

Morning all, another load of rain forcast for later so I will probably go and drag the garden shredder out and diminish the pile of prunings that are on the lawn. Have a good day one and all. <3

It is difficult for H with 3 kids and now coping with a college course

Nope i have to allow rest time ,sleep is my healer

It is not an easy thing to live with is it. :-(

Its the way life is

H is the same Maz and for the same reason

I need sleep for my fibro and go to sleep early most nights ,its rare I sleep through .

I very rarely sleep for more than 5 hours a night :-D

For the short while I worked shifts I found I could sleep ok during the day, now I’m retired I can sleep for England ;-)

Evening all, it is raining now :-|
