Fly Lady - Wednesday Dawn Chorus - Anti-Procrastination Day

[swanriver]

Hello, everyone
Think we need bigger blackout blinds in ds2's room
Done
2 starcharts
breakfast
dd is dressed I hope

GALEN - brightly coloured potato pots were bought last year, and called "tubtrugs". I got them from garden centre/Homebase for toy storage etc but they seem v. expensive when I look on internet now eek. Flexible with handles, I put holes in bottom with knife.
Friend used any lightweight storage bag like a large tesco recycling bag for example. with holes
I would plant them in ground if I could, but no open ground available in this garden.

morning swan thanks for thread
logging in for later,
hope you all have a good sunny day.

Galen, I think I mean a Morrisons recycable grocery bag - not polyethene anyway...

Rambling away to distract myself from all boring tasks

First.
Tidying routine, kitchen, baths, playroom, frontroom, clothes

Extras
hoovering upstairs
mop bathroom floors
change sheets on two beds

So by 10.30 off out to buy some fish for ds2 who has requested macaroni fish for tea.

Bb12.45 before work

Hi strangers! Have skimmed Monday and Tuesday's threads. Just a few hellos sorry if I miss you out!
Galen nice to see you back - sounds like the trip to Ireland was necessary for all if a bit traumatic. hope things are settling down now. I have potatoes planted in one of those massive blue Ikea bags you can buy with holes in the bottom. Filled with compost about a third and tubers in. When they grow a bit fill with one third more compost, then repeat so full of compost. Works a treat. you can also buy 'grow sacks' or something - about a tenner for two or three specially for the purpose - at garden centres, on ebay, ont'net!
Mad Wise psychologist, wise mum - you are doing fab
wolf hope new job going well
all waves

Well, I have one wall left to do a second coat of paint and THAT IS IT for painting! Have done three bedrooms, living room and dining room and don't I know it. Feel about 134 not 34!
Haven't packed anything yet and we're moving on Saturday. We won't have internet access for ages after the move probably so I may be only on a couple of times a week at parents' houses - so sorry in advance!! I am looking forward to next week just doing nothing but play with my children in my new house and bake cakes buns and biscuits in my new ovens

Hosp today with DS for eyes checking, a party tomorrow afternoon so need to buy a gift. Right need to get on lots still to do but lovely to pop in and see you're all well and ok - bbl I hope - perhaps tomorrow morning - I have to be in for 10.30 as our shower (in the old house!) is broken and a plumber is out to fix it.

Bye ladies and have good days

Hello All

Yesterday I was so busy sorting out financial stuff I didn't get chance to log on and I did the worst household job too, I mended and put up the shower curtains tieing 26 bows above your head while balancing on the step ladder/edge of the bath! Well, it's done now so, phew!

Thanks for the thread Swan Galen I've grown stuff in a growbag cut in half and stood on the narrow end. We have no open ground here either so it's all tubs and buckets here too. Good news is the lettuce seedlings seem to have recovered from planting out (Phew again)

Morning all

swan thanks for thread. I have some carrots in a trug type thingy - a bright green one from Morrisons, as dont think carrots would cope with our stoney soil... wasnt sure it would be deep enough for potatoes though..but may get another and try, or might look into some growbag type things... will consider! I have run out of ground space for planting now LOL I have got spinch, lettuce, french beans, runner beans, leeks peas and brocolli on the go!Also got my carrots in tubs and corgette in a tub, strawberries in a pot...Tomato seedlings ready to go into a tub, then just need to sort out potatoes! Could really do with an apple tree but thats not going to happen LOL
grouchy glad your lettuces are doing OK!growbags sound a good plan for spuds actually...
