That time of year

[seahorse]

lol

[halfpass]

glad to hear you were having so much fun skint just think of all the good luck you will have with a lump of bird poo on your head.
Seahorse there is nothing like having a potter in your patch after a hard day and you can meet some nice yougmen at the garden centre who are only to willing to lend a hand with taking their clippers to your wayward shrubs

[halfpass]

what a lovely day again hope you all had fun outside, isn't it funny how much more work you can get done when the sun is shining,tomorrow is supposed to be just as nice what will you all be getting up to.

[try]

First show of the year tomorrow, hooray!!! Hope the sun keeps shining and the pony doesnt dump the child!!

[stinkpig]

Pony Club with god-daughter and her sister, thought i'd finished with that years ago but actually made a nice change !

[halfpass]

We spent today putting together a flat pack metal shed that came in two boxes with trillions of of bits that needed a PHD in origami to put it together after two hours I had to sit down with a very large vodka and a packet of ciggies, I was very near to having a complete breakdown and seeing how far the bloody thing could fly, having calmed down it started to make sense when we read the destructions backwards it know has four walls and tomorrow we shall be putting the roof on HURRAY

[stinkpig]

think that tomorrow may need another bottle of vodka HP !!

[halfpass]

only the one ?

[seahorse]

After puchase of first hovel sorry flat have discovered wine helps with flat pack funiture. if you live alone know you have OH but this may help
1 new funiture arrives you have glass to celebrate
2 No so called friend will help even with offer of wine so give in and drink it yourself
3 two months later its still in boxes on floor discover that as it was ment to be a coffee table and
other bits any way may as well use boxes to put wine glass on it
4 Get fed up with boxes and so called friends so call in super dad and mum who has to criitese pony and need to have kitten so more wine required, when have gone wine to relax
5 When next set arrives think sod it poor glass of wine and just do it your self have become a mini expert now

[stinkpig]

But i didn't say what size bottle HP !!!!

[halfpass]

for me to put this shed up it has taken four people and all it took was for me to promise not to go around to their houses and shout I LOVE YOU outside their windows. They are all male and straight they knew I would if they didn't help, I find that there are more ways to skin a rabbit

[stinkpig]

Some people just have no sense of adventure !

[seahorse]

Not fair must find new friends, have got a giant cat play station to make next, think its going to be bigger than me

[stinkpig]

When you're little like us lets be honest it doesn't take much to be bigger !!

HP have experienced the metal shed thing first hand, it was a nightmare! Hubby was just a few months post heart attack, insisted on putting the bloody thing together, has whitefinger so kept dropping the screws at crucial moments, managed to get four walls together and then found the roof was the devil of a job, fiddly tiny screws wouldn't bite into the bit underneath, eventually got the d**ned thing together and cleared away all the boxes and debris, found the bag ful of longer screws intended for the roof . . . . . .

Also had a nightmare when hubby went inside to make a cuppa, and puppy grabbed the bag of little plastic washers, which was opened at the opposite end, and b*ggered off at high speed round the lawn with it, hubby returned with tea to find me on my hands and knees in the grass retrieving all the hundreds of bits of plastic which were scattered all over lawn which was in dire need of mowing, hubby being poorly and all . . . . . . .

[halfpass]

so glad to hear we are not the only ones MM that hate the the things its the first and the last time we buy one of these danm sheds I was begining to think I was just having a gay blonde thing going on, even surrounded by straight men I was worried it may have been catching, but at least the dog left us alone

Have just made it and it comes to 4'6 so yes is nearly bigger, why do I have sneeking supsion that kitten will not like it or be impressed with it and will still kill my funiture or my hovel (flat)

[stinkpig]

Make sure you put plenty of catnip on it, they love it.

Have had a real giggle reading this page, my garden is sadly neglected and each time I open the back door I expect Prince Charming to appear out of the forest (if he ever does I will ring you immediately HP...........) I won two hours of a local gardening service in a raffle recently- they have no idea what they have let themselves in for.....................

[stephjw1]

We got one of those flat pack metal sheds its actually 6x4 but you would never believe that by the size of the box it was tiny. Putting it together nearly caused a divorce OH who is normally brilliant at diy nearly had a bloody heart attack putting it together it took 3 afternoons. There was millions of tiny screws and white bits to put over them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stinkpig]

Only tiny screws....much prefer the longer ones !!!

[Milliesmum]

Ours was from Argos, should have come with a government health warning - Putting this shed together may cause insanity, divorce, animal cruelty, desperation and alcoholism!

[stinkpig]

I'll go for the alcoholism please

[seahorse]

Me to but probley to late, I have to say if you want to regress in to childhood at the age of 34 invite the parents round to do it, I remember even stamping my foot when they wanted to go home before it was finished

[halfpass]

The shed is finished bolted to the ground doors are on and I could not care less if I never see another one that was until a delivery van arrived with guess what another shed this time its a wooden one for the goats they are going to have a nice new house and I'm going to have a nice new breakdown, I was just wondering whether it's late to take up drinking.

[shelleyj]

It's never too late!

[try]

ahhhh, just think of those smug little goatee faces peering out of their grand new home, that'll spur you on to finish the job!!!

[seahorse]

I have come home from work followed by yard and its daylight shock horror, removed the usal crisp packet, from garden. And low and behold have snowdrops great but diddnt plant them so why. I started the garden had been kindly done over by gas board a week before I moved in so kind. So where have they come form

[halfpass]

could be birds or they may have been in the garden and the gas board may have moved them from some were they didn't like to some were they did, or it could of been fairies they may of decided that you needed a hand so have started the planting hoping you will carry on.
