    Morning all.

    Shiney, I do hope you're feeling more like your old self soon. Look after yourself. xx

    You too Kandy..

    *gets out cotton wool, and wraps up Kandy and Shiney* xx


    Well, I've been to my 'old' work place and collected my things. Boss can't see how the way and manner in which he spoke to me on Saturday, upset me so much, and gave me no alternative but to walk away.
    I was told to 'consider resigning, which came like a bolt out of the blue, it was said in such a way to me that I felt intimidated, and like I had to go there and then. I am now left feeling utterly devastated. So, one chapter finishes, and another one begins. I'm going to miss working with the other girls there, and will miss the interaction with the customers. Ohh well, cest la vie.

    So, if anyone wants a general do'er, and doesn't mind me talking ten to the dozen, let me know! lol...

    Have a great day everyone! xxx

    :DGood morning everyone,

    Hope everyone is feeling better including me with the aches and pains:D

    Went to see the Dr yesterday about my ankle and he is going to send me for xrays as he thinks it is normal wear and tear due to old age but as i have extra bone growth he wants to make sure everything is fine with the ankle in general :yess:

    Joolz,sorry to hear about your job and will send good wishes that in the end everything turns out ok for you.:thumbsup:As others have said it will be his loss in the end and you will have peace of mind that you did the right thing although at the moment it won't seem like it :)

    Jazmine,no you don't want an allotment they are too much like hard work especially as you get older :D

    Shiney,hope the Chiropractor work went well and you are managing to get through that mountain of paper work :D

    Hope you are flying well Woo and enjoying the sun as it comes up :dbgrtmb:

    Anyway,I have a mountain of irioning to do so best go and make a start before it gets too high.I hate leaving it but have loads more to wash at the moment :yess:

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Good morning everyone,

    Another sunny and mild morning. I've officially declared it a drought in Shineyland and have got the sprinkler out and put it on the new flower bed.

    Joolz,
    I'd much rather feel like my young self :heehee: but I'll settle for the old self and not the 'can't do much at the moment' self that I am now :cry3:. I'm having to take it very easy at the moment :mad:.
    I don't know what has happened with your problem at work but it sounds like you may have a good case for tribunal. If you feel up to it then put the details here on GC and you will get lots of good advice.

    woo,
    I don't think Oscar is a skunk but I sometimes get worried about possible smells when he turns his back on me and lifts his tail :loll:

    Kandy,
    I hope your ankle is improving :thumbsup:. Since I went to the chiropractor my back has been a lot worse but it feels just a bit better this morning.

    Paperwork is getting on OK but with a few hassles that I need to sort out before the taxman gets to them :rolleyespink:.
    The gardening club members will have to do without their rhubarb today as I'm not up to bending and pulling the rhubarb.

    When I was in the garden earlier, sorting out the sprinkler, Oscar stuck his head out of his house, saw me and then went back to sleep. If it had been Mrs shiney he would have been out of there like a shot and followed her around. :)

    Have a great day :D

    Yep, it's been about that here too Woo, cripes it's been warm!!

    Evening all.

    what a glorious day it's been, really hope you've all enjoyed the sunshine.
    I've had a busy bee of a day. I've given the slabbed area for my greenhouse a dusting of sand and cement to cover all the joins. Sown some Kelvedon Wonder pea seeds, to bring on before I put them out into the raised bed area. Painted two little wooden planters up, and put one of my miniature roses in one, and added some more grass cuttings to the compost bin.

    I think it's safe to say, I'm in need of a glass of wine, and something to eat!! :heehee:

    Good morning everyone,

    This is the start of another lovely day. :thumbsup:

    woo, I'm finding it quite difficult to follow my chosen profession of 'grumpy old man' on days like this :scratch: :heehee:

    I'm going to have a go at mowing if Mrs shiney will let me :)

    Have a great day :D

    Good morning Woo and everyone,

    Woo,the sunny weather is really nice at the moment,just what i need for my bones.Hope you are not working too hard on that veggie bed.Hard ground is best broken up in the winter months,and this time of the year hiring a rotavator might help as it putting plenty of ash and compost into the soil :thumbsup:

    Joolz,sounds like you have been busy with the slabbing,but please take care of your back:dbgrtmb:

    Well it was a really warm day yesterday:sunny: and looks like it is going to stay warm over the Easter holiday so that suits me quiet well.:DProblem is though my water butt is rapidly getting emptied because i am having to water the garden pots more as i don't want my lilies to die as they are all in bud and about to flower :yess:

    Spent ages over the allotment yesterday watering all the veggie seedlings then got down on my kneeling pad and weeded four rows of carrots and a row of beetroot seedlings but had to leave the parsnips as i can't tell some of them apart from weed seedlings.:D

    Mr Kandy went for the village walk on his own last night as i was aching too much so sat and watched some telly instead :yess:

    The sun is already up so might get back over to the allotment before it gets too warm as I still have loads of weeding to do.At least the sun kills off all the weed seedlings when i have hoed them off:yess:

    Have a good day everyone:)

    Morning Shiney,

    Hope you are feeling better and don't over do the mowing.I did ours at the weekend but left the back lawn a little bit too long so it needs doing again now.At least it all looks nice and green despite the lack of water:yess:

    Hope you,Mrs Shiney and Oscar have a good day:)
