He's purchased a new strimmer this week and I can almost hear the plants take a sharp intake of breath!

I don't always remember, but the intentions there. <br />I had such a chuckle when you said about your hubby doing all the chores and you returning to work. We are working things out although he's still overstepping the mark at times. It's all about the training I think and I need to keep at it. <br />I'm liking certain aspects of it, so I just need to work on the rest! (wink wink)<br />I think you deserve to fill your days with art now. I'll look forward to seeing the results of your creativity!

I plan to buy a large new pot to put it in. I'm determined that it should live. <br />He actually pulled more wee plants out the very next day. I'm now giving him specific jobs so that all my plants can breath a sigh of relief... safe in the knowledge that he won't touch them.

It still looking chirpy and makes me smile. I liked the white lines too. <br />The jasmine is currently sitting in a large plastic bin with compost and water until I can get a new pot large enough to repot it. I'm determined to keep it alive.

I'm woken from any time after four a.m. at the moment, with the dawn chorus along with magpie and wood pigeon shinanakins, but to have the tapping on windows is just a tap too far in my book. <br />We've continued to have our training in the hubby department. I'd told him that 'if in doubt... do nout'! But he still uprooted some lovely plants.

The fact that I'd said "if in doubt... DO NOUT"! I was kind of hoping that he'd have got bored by now and decided to return to work, but he seems to be a very happy bunny.
