I know you have two houses and plenty of space, but was wondering do you plan on planting in the wood? Say garlic for example...?

I'm going to take advice Trip - I don't want to introduce anything that's alien as its Ancient woodland. I might put a fruiting hedge around the boundary and some local fruit trees in one corner. My challenge for this year!!

Well not being at home I've not got that challenge done (what a reprieve!) in fact, it's not going back on the list until after the fire is gone. Like the house work, no point in doing the paperwork if it's going to go up in flames. This weeks challenge ended up being: getting the community spirit. Altho people are friendly they are also usually fairly independent. So this week we have had to ask for help, offer help, accept help. I also had to back the float up a lot. Now there's bluddy challenge for a female!

Next week? I need to think on that one. I'll get back to you.

Week 2 - Apply for a new job. I've been stuck in a boring, dead end, minimum wage job for more than 5 years. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that I've got a job and that I've been able to pay my bills without worrying for the last 5 years but it really is a soul destroying place to be. So partly thanks to this thread I've decided that there are lots of changes I'm going to make this year. Some are big, some are small, but they will all make a difference to mine or someone else's life

Week 2 - Challenge set by Mr PP.
To use excel without swearing at it for a whole week.
So he said the same applies to GIMP which I only started using last week and confuses the he...ck out of me.

Spreadsheet filled. Figures manipulated. Language good.

Now for GIMP
