October

This October started with my -- Birthday, am going to forget what year it was, but had a lovely day, phone calls from each of my children which was lovely, and Grandchildren too.
I have been wanting to have a proper computer table and we found one on Gumtree in Braintree for £15, it fits a treat and now have a command desk for all correspondence will take some pictures soon and put them on here, Chris from across the road helped and he was a great help, did most of the bending.
Then a week later we had a look AGAIN for a cover for the little plastic greenhouse as the little plastic bits had fallen olut and were letting the water through, Homebase had a bigger one so we got that, came home and NO Instructions, WELL, no can do so we hauled it back and said no we'll have the money back. so we wandered outside into the gardening area and found a 6' X 4' aluminium framed greenhouse for nearly £60 cheaper than the label which was great. Then we spen the next 4 days with friends Nick and Lindy putting the thing up, Poor Hubby hurt all his finger tips, BUT it is UP and have one set of shelves and looking to get a potting table, which is prooving really difficult, but maybe have to build our own.
And wednesday went to my Quilting Club in Dovercourt which was good fun and we raised £606 for the Essex Air Ambulance, which we willl be giving a cheque to next month. When they were told this they were really amazed at how much we had raised in days and were really pleased.
