Barnanby overspends at garden centre!

Barnaby bear had a very busy day today. He firstly joined Jack at his football club and then went with Erin and I to the garden centre where far too much money that I don't really have was spent on plants for the back garden that I was attempting to give a face lift this afternoon.
It was a lovely sunny day and so whilst the children were out playing on their bikes I was busy shifting gravel and moving paving slabs to the back of the house and making my back garden somewhere that I could sit privately with friends in the summer (if we ever really get one). To put it bluntly I worked my arse off all afternoon and was so pleased with the results. There is still more that needs doing and I may need to hire a handyman for some of it but a big difference was made.

This evening a friend babysat so that I could go out for a meal to celebrate another friends birthday. We went to a new local restaurant and had such a lovely time. A good catch, laugh and bloomin good natter. Perfect.

Very excited today because Paul is on his way home from Canada and will be back mid morning tomorrow. I have missed him very very much and the time apart has shown to me what an important part of mine and my childrens lives he has become.
