Gone to seed
Each day this week I have spent an hour outside, getting little bits done, most of the time inside the greenhouse, I should have plenty of strong flower plants. Our local pet shop has their flower strips back in, 4 or 5 plants for £1.49, this year I only purchased 2 packs, I have most of what I require.
My greenhouse is a busy spot, it's always full at this time of year, I do love to spend time inside, the joy of seeds growing into healthy plants always gives me great pleasure, I have opened the door every day, my window has an automatic opener, it's in the sunniest spot in the garden. I have very little to do elsewhere in the garden, just a bit of weeding and dead heading my daffodils, I'm waiting for my tulips to open, in hope I have the blooms I'm expecting.
Lilly is very happy we took her onesie off on Thursday, in hope she would leave her wound alone, after a long session of grooming where I watched her, she is not bother by her scar, it's the next step in her recovery. If all goes well we are thinking of letting her outside on Saturday, after 14 days locked inside.
We both had dentist this week, no problems for either of us, we then popped to B&Q, hubby had a few things to get, I got another calendula, I love the orange flowers, we got a few different bags of compost, all Westland brand, I don't ever purchase Verve as I have had poor results before.

It's a big one
This post is my 2500 post, I started back in February 2009, I'm in my 16th year of blogging, I have never posted everyday, on average every 2 or 3 days, I can't call many post exciting for anyone reading, some have been very exciting for me. I publish each year into a book, which I do love to look back on, with or without the grandchildren. Thank you for being here, remember as much as I love to post, I get so much enjoyment from popping over to visit each of you.

March round up
Just a tiny craft spend, but it is the gardening season, I had not planned for the £30.99 spent on netting which hubby got me, I did add it to this list. March is always expensive, so many lovely plants, it's shocking how quickly these smallish amounts together become huge.
Nothing on clothes, I'm hoping for a nice low spend year. Hubby got me a jumper for Mothers day.
I have read 12 books this month.
Household spend was good, we already had all the outside paint left over from last time, expensive time at vets, Lilly is now sorted.
All's good in the kitchen no waste, watching what we eat, it's all normal for us.
Weight, not shifting any pounds, I swing between I need to lose the pounds and at my age should I worry, I have lost a couple of pounds this week, I am going to try harder through April, in hope I can get back into more pairs of my trousers.
