POTTING PLANTS




At the weekend I finally managed to plant my herbs altogether in a large pot. I have some mint, chives, rosemary and ..... I had planted my potatoes some weeks ago and as you can see (in the far back) they are doing really well , also at the front are some broad beans whcih my brother gave me and I ahve repotted in a larger pot, just need to get some sticks for them now. Unfortunately my tomatoes came to nothing . Not in this my picture my beetroots are also doing really well.


I also planted some geraniums and verbena in my flower beds this weekend.

Catch up

I shall try hard to check in and add some posts while Linda is away just in case anyone else is out there.
Haven't had much time for things on my list recently but half term is coming up and maybe I can reassess my list and see where I am at and then do a few posts. I am hoping to pot/plant some of the things I have brought for my garden this weekend weather permitting.

Going to Turkey

I am going on holiday to Turkey on Friday for six weeks so although I will be able to work on some of my challenges it is unlikely that I will be able to make any further posts until I get back. I will keep a diary of things I am working on and if I can get to log on will post them.

i will be working on swimming each day in the pool, dying my hair purple for the day, riding on a banana sofa in the sea, swimming the channel in the pool, holidaying in Turkey with kids and anything else I can fit in while I am there.

Am really looking forward to this trip will be having different visitors and also some time on my own-I am hoping to learn Turkish in that week. I feel like it is like having a lot of different holidays but in the one place and without loads of flights involved so great on all levels.

So hope others will keep on with their own lists and let me know how they get on.

What Are YOU Working on

Hi Loves
Have failed miserably at beating David on the Wii but am demanding a rematch.
Not managing to lose any weight but have had extenuating circumstances so am excusing myself on this one.
Have found that drinking water and eating fruit definately makes me feel better so will carry on with this as long as can really.

Received new talking book and put it onto to itunes but still needed little bit of help from Pierce- still trying to do it alone

Have been using pain machine regularily and also giving myself Reiki.

Think I am getting a lot of benefit out of using pain machine not so sure about Reiki mostly because I have badly needed pain relief.

Added new target to my list as am swapping become a reiki master for throw out 50 things as J pointed out that if I become a Reiki master I would have to teach it and cannot see myself doing this.
So how are you all doing? Let me know its lonesome here

Two more down 79 to go!


Cheated here and added attend a swishing party! I did enjoy it and dispute being smaller I actually came home with several tops - dont know how Linda thought it was only one? Wasnt brave enough to get a tatoo but there you go. Mums has now faded bless her! Had a lovely time anyway . Here in Essex think they have got the swishing bug only not actually calling it that but same princple but you have to take along 10 items and dont have the fun of trying it on as its held in a public place !
Afraid my healthy eating plan went right out the window since the weekend away and I am finding it hard to go back to it and its only been three weeks. So need to get motivated.

Two More Down 90 to Go

Had a lovely weekend away with my family and was able to complete another two things while away . We had a swishing party and I think Liz has the record for most things that suited her. She even managed to get some things that weren't even in the swishing bag. i got a lovely blouse from Linda and Linda ended up with a top. Mum got a skirt and cardie and Sue got a top but was hampered by the fact that she is so much smaller thn us all. Wish i had that problem. It was fun though and hope to repeat it here with my friends. Nobody liked the green dress I had so back home it came ready for another swish.
We then proceeded to have fake tattoos applied but since we were all being a bit woosie we were all looking for the smallest one possible. sue took a picture so hopefully she will post it later here.
Sadly I was too much of a woose to get up and do karoake little did I know if Sue hadn't gone to bed she would have got up and sang with me. Will have to pluvk up courage another time.
Have decided to work on getting a bit healthier this month so have started drinking 8 glasses of water, giving myself reiki and using pain machine. hope to also have lost 4 pounds before I go to Turkey in four weeks and put it all back on again.
Have spent most of the day trying to complete my disability form but am nearly finished now and hope to have it completed and copied and in the post in a few days .
