Hi Snorky,
can I get your autograph now please before the rush, and don't forget if they offer you a job on the program, insist on equal pay...

 

Been mega busy bee today and I'm exhausted. Been prepping potential GW visit area.


Which included digging out the last blimmin bit of model railway track all whilst being attacked by thousands of those irritating little thunderbug things.

Been feeling down about the garden today-it feels like it's a mess. Bloody slugs have attacked my acanthus with a vengeance after it was looking so good. The sweet peas are collapsing because they are so huge. Second time I've had to stabilse them!!

Just generally lots of bits dont seem that great. Humph.

 

Oooo, will keep an eye out for you on GW Snorky
Will we need to bow in your presence then ?

 

Lol I will find out for definite tomorrow. Part of me is hoping they dont come as i'm stressed at the thought of it already! Silly really!

Got my farmer neighbours son (who is a gardener) arranged to come and help tidy up the garden a couple of days before if/when they come just incase. Argh!

 

The pictures I have seen of your garden it looks really nice . I think a lot of us go through a stage of hating the garden and feeling overwhelmed by it. I'll show you some pics of mine, I guarantee you will feel better about yours

 

Managed to lay some membrane and gravel this afternoon. Wheelbarrow needs new wheel, so had to lug gravel in a bucket. So, not my idea of fun . Very hot again. Sat on patio with an ice lolly contemplating the mess the garden is still in and the daily clean up after the builder has left. I've worked it out that once the work is completed it will take 10 days of deep cleaning a room a day to get the house back to a liveable state . I wish I could find a cleaner.

 

What you having done in the house???

 

New bathroom and a light tunnel. This is the 3rd week of what should have been a week's work as had problems with getting shower base and screen - long story. As well as the general mess and chaos there is marble dust everywhere. Its still settling and inevitably gets transferred to other rooms. Also the mosaics in the utility room faded due to a manufacturing fault so Graeme ( builder ) is replacing those. More dust ! It will be worth all the stress as Graeme is very good builder and the bathroom looks amazing.

 

This is a little bit exciting. I hope you get the green light. Good luck

 

This sounds very posh @luciusmaximus ...all good things come to those who wait....and you will have forgotten about the mess in years to come!

@Tinker86 got the green light!! Filming next friday....i feel sick already lol!

 

Hang on...read bathroom ....whats.

??

 

Wow this is brilliant.! Nervous excitement is normal and good for a kick up the backside to get what needs to be done ticked off. I used to get it a lot before going on stage. Prior to performing I'd see it as unhelpful. Afterwards, I realised it actually worked in a positive way!

I'm looking forward to hearing how you get on. Enjoy and well done Snorky

 

Thanks @Tinker86 you are right-I've just cleaned out the greenhouse!!! Lol. Got a proper gardenener to help me on Monday to stop me getting so overwhelmed and going into meltdown. Weather is clearing up so going to get back out there and do some more sweeping up!

 

Blimey Snorks
