Even two hours is a long time for me to clean.

I just don't have the "clean gene," LOL

Though my house never actually gets "dirty." At the most, it gets sort of "dusty."

But if I invite any of you folks from WP to my apartment, I will surely make sure I clean up.

I put my alarm back another half hour thank God because the new hoover bags didn't fit. I had to fish the old one out

of the dustbin, empty it and reseal with masking tape. I could have done with a couple more minutes but it went

OK, she's a nice lady. She was impressed with how well I'd done on the limescale and vinegar over chemicals.


It takes time kraftie because I only do it every six months


Now it's all over and I'm on a high

So pleased you have got it out of the way again.

Only 4? Are you sure your British

I said function, not function competently.

I have a forty a day habit, so I don't think I'm on the verge of being banished from the tribe for tea abstinence.

Maybe I should up it to fifty to make sure.

When I was under the crisis team they told me drink less tea , that's when I questioned their sanity.

How do they explain their jobs? "I'm part of a crisis team. If someone can't reach crisis point on their own, we help them there by taking their tea away."

half of the crisis team were troubled souls themselves , one in particular was bonkers

The way I herd it is they were all fine till they met you

At a meeting in London (Monument) again. 2 hours of car, train & underground. Thank God for noise cancelling headphones.

I am between the Shard and the Walkie Talkie though so have a good view at least.

That wouldn't surprise me , I'm a walking contradiction. I'm pretty sure I gave my CBT therapist a major headache because he couldn't work me out , I had more than the allotted sessions the NHS provide and he still wanted to give me more even though we made no progress.

Currently, 3 shops good for buying spring bulbs are:

Morrisons (10 allium graceful for £2)

Wilkos (2.5k of daffodils for £2.50)

The Range (3 bags of bulbs for £5 or £1.99 each)

I got my snowdrops on ebay as I couldn't find enough of these as a bargain - 100 for £7.

^Thank you. With the inspection over I can get on with the garden now. I've done the rough jobs, just need to

replace the things that died in the heat. Bulbs will help nicely

My neighbour told me a few years ago that she hated daffodils. She doesn't seem like someone who hates anything,

but daffodils was she attacked by one as a child I really wanted to ask.

Perhaps your neighbour was forced to be a daffodil in a school play when she really wanted the lead.

I think daffs are really uplifting as they symbolise the coming of warmer weather, even if it was snowing a blizzard on my daffs last year. When I see the first signs of snowdrops and crocus I get a fuzzy warm feeling and go all gooey.

My hydrangea looked cooked but has just started to come back which I am pleased about as it is fairly big.

I have been trying to find a way to treat myself and bulbs seem to be fitting as they will come back every year to cheer me up if I hit hard times again.

I was able to use an avatar of The Kinks for a whole 24 hours. I wouldn't have been able to do that 6 months ago. It will be a few days before I do it again.

I'm planning on having pasta loaded with grated cheddar cheese for supper. I like the orange cheddar because I grew up with it. Damn! I forgot to have my afternoon tea. That afternoon tea is more of a week day thing when I've got more going on, anyways.
