More moving on..

Yesterday was quite cathartic in a way - and all over a man with a van!  A transit came round, bearing a sign that scrap metal was wanted, so I leapt up from the table by the window where I was working and ran outside to stop him, because I knew we had some scrap to move on!  He soon loaded up some lengths of old aluminium that had been a trampoline, including the trampoline springs, and an old rotary washing line, and some lengths of some obscure metal from the FH's workshop.  I am so glad that we have finally got rid of the trampoline's remains, and the washing line as they had been cluttering up the garden all winter.......

AND I worked out how to post on Freecycle for jigsaws - just waiting for all the offers........but a local friend from chapel phoned yesterday to say that her relatives in the village have a stock of puzzles that the FH is welcome to borrow!  How kind was that?!  So we have another supply...

Hoping for more like this with plenty of detail

I made progress towards another of my goals yesterday by buying a bag of seed compost too!

I spent yesterday evening working my way through a huge heap of ironing and joining in with the YFG watching a little Suits marathon on Netflix.  She and the EFG have suddenly found this American series and are both working their way through the two series on the system - but not together!  Occasionally this means that I end up hearing [if not watching] the same episode twice.  Thank goodness that the young chap who is not a lawyer has a strong sense of right and wrong, although it mystifies me that he also seems to think it is ok to smoke some kind of green plant....that doesn't fit!

Early morning today as the YFG has to be in Peterborough for 9.30am for her physio appointment, and then we have to go to Cambridge this afternoon to have new impressions taken for replacement retainers from the orthodontist - I can't believe that they are going to charge me £67.50 for each one!  If she needs both, I shan't be too happy, but needs must.

The jigsaw is fab! How nice to have been offered a new supply.

When Father was ill he and my Mum started doing jigsaws, they were really surprised by how many people they found to swap with.

I did send you an email offering to send you some of OH's old jigasws.

Will send pictures.

Sweetblondieblueeyes - I remember and it was a very kind offer, but I can't find the email! Please let me know which email address you sent it to [just comment and I won't publish] and then I will reply! Sorry to be so useless - and I feel that I have been ungrateful, but I haven't read the email yet...
Thank you very much xx

That puzzle looks complicated, I'm useless at them. I give up! Good news that you have some new ones to do.x
