Hope your cold improve soon Lizzie. Perhaps a siesta is called for this afternoon. Bekkie I have only tidied a few scraggy bits in the borders so far and it does look horrible but it will be easier to do when it's a bit drier. I may do the buddleia because I can reach without standing on the soil. Btw I hope you do get your muck for Valentine's Day
If im honest Yvie, most of my garden is an allotment anyhow! Not really very pleasing to the eye, it looks ok with annuals around it in summer, the shrubs etc have to make do with the bits i cant really grow crops in!
Yvie, you go and buy what makes you happy! You arent stealing to keep your habit going, i know lots of ladies that wouldnt bat an eyelid at spending 800 quid on a handbag! At least your garden will give you pleasure for years to come
SGL, think you are probably right, havent even seen any frogs yet thinking about it
LOL Dove, those scraggy bits will probably get left until its a bit warmer
Well I passed the test, not that wasn't tempted. It's hellebore day at Ashwoods and as they grow some of the most beautiful in the country it was difficult. FB&B and Clematis Food purchased. They didn't have the thingymajigs that keep multiple canes together for sweet peas so I'll have to go on t'internet, another test then. I did buy a very pretty basket of polyanthus for mum's birthday tomorrow but that doesn't count. I'm just having a cuppa and a caramel custard doughnut (I can hear Verdun drooling from here) before attacking the lawn.
You're right Bekkie, when I worked I used to spend a fair amount on clothes and now live in jeans and tops, rarely drink and don't smoke so I suppose the garden is my one weakness. Who used to say that - was it someone on Cranford or Larkrise to Candleford, if I remember right they used to lots of 'one weaknesses'
Can your OHs have a word with mine please? Instead of a lie in i was woken up because he couldnt find one of his suppliments, where was it.....right infront of him!Grrrrr
Worse weaknesses to have Yvie , anyway, youve been very restrained today i reckon you deserve that doughnut!

I've done some tidying up this morning - eyebrows tweezed, face and body exfoliated, lots of lotions and potions applied
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning all
OH surpassed himself and brought me breakfast in bed
and tulips that match my fingernails 
Am just finishing off my cup of tea 
Audrey tulips Panda?
. Or did I miss them changing colour??
Not sure what I have planned today, but at least some of it will be outside
