    Fairy girl I can excitedly announce MY WAGES WENT IN FIRST TIME! ! image

    Good job too because I needed to start buying supplies to get ready for our Easter holiday activities. Still; I'm drafting up a begging and pleasing letter to the likes of Wickes and B&Q so hopefully some good will come of that.

    Flipping heck Clari! imageimageimage Can't believe it, your boss must in a good mood this month image

  • Clari - I'm very pleased to hear that image  but from what you're saying it sounds as if you're buying supplies for work out of your own money ... even if you get paid back that's really not a good system!  image  (sorry to sound like a worryguts image).

    Just a thought, but there may be mileage in seeking some funding that is ring-fenced to pay the salary of the fundraiser (and most important employee). That's not an unusual situation in my experience of working for small charitable operations.

    No sunshine here, but no rain either - time for some gardeningimage.  We used our Christmas garden tokens to invest in an acer sango-kaku yesterday, so that needs planting up.  Its going in a bed just outside our front door, for a bit of winter interest.  Hope the stems stay this red as it grows

     It is evicting a rather boring viburnum, so some excavating required first.  So better have another cuppa first to keep my strength upimage

    Morning chicky - that looks like a bonny purchase  image

    Dove's right Clari - you shouldn't be buying anything for work out of your money - other than the odd box of teabags or jar of coffee to share etc. Not right image

    I'm considering hanging out washing. Do you think it'll dry or just freeze up ? Makes putting me smalls on a bit tricky...image image

    Morning chicky image I was just looking at images of your Sango kaku, they still have red branches when they are older and the colour changes of the leaves are gorgeous, good purchase image
