Dirty finger nails and dirty feet.

2008-05-09T20:48:00.004+01:00

Hello there blog, long time no see.Yes I am the one with the dirty nails and feet. We went to the DIY store the other day and spent a whole bunch of money on plants, compost and a brand new wheel barrow. Yesterday and today the weather was beautiful and 77F. The pots look great with new flowers as does my hanging basket. I want to get one more hanging basket to put on the other side of the front

Sounds about right for me, giggle.

but no matter how I feel about the Georgia girl, I could never have her live with us. At 59 and well on my way to being an OAP, I no longer have the patience of that 30/40 year old that's still inside me.She was an angel on Sunday night and all day Monday when I had the 48 hour tummy bug and twice yesterday she turned into the child from hell. I came so close to hitting her that I locked myself

I even had the doctor come to the house the day after Boxing day because I would never had made

Damn all I can get is 6 Zomig which takes most of the pain away ummmm most of time. Four + hours of unaduterated worst pain in the world.
