        I know that feeling, not quite 3 miles though. A walk that used to take about 15 minutes that now takes nearly 45.

              Getting back from a couple of days camping and checking my plants before getting sleeping kids outta the car. Easier without the "i we home yet" (omg they can't wait to get there, and back) slow down people, life hurries us to much as it is x

                Other Half offers to help you in the garden, so you give them something useful to do.

                You then spend the next hour desperately resisting the temptation to shout "NOOOOO! THAT'S NOT HOW I WANT IT DONE!" :mad: while telling yourself you really do appreciate the help, knowing exactly what the response will be to even the slightest hint of criticism. :redface:

                    130) You don't think buying 91 bags of reduced compost is excessive.

                      131) you are having a party that will start well after dark (and you have no floodlights for garden viewing installed yet - hint to hubby), and yet you think getting the garden ready for the party more important than cleaning the house...

                        132) You have visitors staying over Christmas and the New Year who want to help prepare vegetables and make tea etc, so you have to secretly rummage through the bins afterwards for potato peelings and tea bags for the compost heap.

                          133) The choice of location for your wife's birthday treat is based upon the stock levels of clearance potting compost at the nearest garden centre. (at least it was only MPC this year, last year she complained all the way home about the smell coming from well rotten manure in the back of the car)
