Excellent plants and very well packed.

I'm happy... I had a lovely time this afternoon.... visted my Parisienne next door neighbour, along with another neighbour and her children.... we all tucked into delicious crêpes..... and I had a wonderful time cuddling the baby......couple of months old now and cuter than a button! 8)

Much as I am famed for hating all things even remotely connected with Christmas that did make me smile!

I got a job!!

Only casual nightfill of shelves at a supermarket, but it is money coming in regardless of how little it may be.  BIG relief.  Also cool as it means I can mess in my garden during the day (OK, I'll likely end up getting a day job as well  ::)), and then work in the evenings/nights.  I like that idea.  ;)

This also means working with customers, which is something I love.  Great stuff!!

Well done Paul. One day I hope to announce the same. My brother landed a good job last week paying more money than he has ever earned. I'm jealous

Well done Paul, "onwards and upwards" as the saying goes. By the way can't understand anyone who likes working with people!! ::) ;D

Good news Paul, I couldn't have a job in a supermarket especially at night, it would be a nightmare, I would never be away from the cake, sweetie and ice-cream aisle. I wouldn't be able to control myself, here I go thinking of white chocolate buttons, joking apart Paul good on you. Hope you still will have the same time to put into your posts.

Mark it will be your turn soon.

OK Anthony.... you're going to have to explain that one.  The only thing I can come up with is that I can spend more money bending my elbow down at the pub.  ;D ;D  Or is it the elbow-work packing shelves?  :o  Not looking forward to that bit of it.  ;)

Thanks to everyone for the best wishes. 8) 8)
