I tried to get on about 6am, the website was down. It was still down at 7.15, and still down at 8. Anyway, now we're up and running...
Love the Mayan cartoon on previous page "this will freak someone out someday".
Wanna job, anyone? Because there's an interesting gardener's job going, in Kent...
The brief: "Vita was flamboyant, and wanted everything to be full and wild. Then Pam and Sibylle developed it more towards perfect lawns and high-quality horticulture. Pam and Sibylle probably went a bit too far towards having things controlled and ordered. I think the new person needs to try and pull out a bit more of the Vita influence in the garden, and bring some of the exuberance back to the planting."
I shall be cold this morning-it is damp underfoot-but must do exercise.
It is a long commute for me to Kent-Dove is over that way somewhere and is retiring next year-an opportunity not to be missed or perhaps MD would want to stretch himself?
Morning forkers. Well the rain's finally stopped, hoping this situation will last for a week or two.
Have no time to play today as there is a room to finish clearing before 8 am tomorrow. it's not so much getting all the stuff out, it's finding places to store it while the work's being done.
I noticed the site was down earlier as well. I was thinking our Christmas smileys were being updated. Maybe the team are still working on them
I won't be forking much either today Flo, got a lot on and want to do some more Christmas shopping after seeing how daughter is getting on. Good luck with clearing your room. Flo
I wanted a small settee to do up. Ebay semed the best bet. Failed in my bidding as wasn't really sure what to do. D. boyfriend said he would do next one for me. Brilliant lad got a 2 seater sofa for 99p. We had a lovely drive across the Cotswolds to get it and it is still not re-furbished, threw an old curtain on it as a throw to hide the hideous fabric, but in fact cushions, springs etc in very good condition and comfortable. so very usable.Bought upholstery fabric from local flea market about 10m for £10 so when I get round to doing it will b a really good bargain.
That is my only e-bay purchase. i would still hesitate to use them again though. It's the bidding!
Been out this morning - WW then shops, then social service review for ancient parent. Walked home slowly. Maybe shouldn't have done that but don't like asking OH all the time.(foot)
I've often seen old furniture bought on TV antiques shows, with very tatty fabric. They think nothing of reupholstering. So they buy an old chair for £20, spend £100 on upholstering, and sell it for £400.

Jean, that shirt is perfect! Don't know what happened to my last post--disappeared.
Will wear it with my skinny jeans[ if I can get into them], and think of you!
Morning forkers, eventually.

Sorry Inka, Glad you like your shirt
Hope you have a good time at the hen party 
Morning lovelies!
Bit cold, but no rain.
Watched the first of that Crinkly Bottom Hall last night.
It was ok. Shall watch the second one tonight, see if there's a bit more action.
Off collecting more ebay wins when I've dropped madam off, so I won't be around at lunchtime to play either.

Don't think this settee is quite in that class
Still it's my New Year project when I can't get into garden. If I can then everything else goes on the back burner!
