Woke up early this morning and had lots of jobs to do. I want to repaint my bedroom, but I am dreading doing the ceiling. I want to paint it a linen colour and need to decide on the exact colour. I need new bedding and soon my shutters will be ready to be installed. I can't wait.

I have got two dogs, one is a Jack Russell called Dixie and the other is a new addition to the family a Labradoodle called Co Co. They are both very excitable and at the moment have a horrible habit of bringing lots of mud into my utility.

Noticed the garden centres are selling bulbs, wish Spring would hurry up and come then I can get back into the garden.

My raised vegetable garden is nearly finished. I had this idea to use up some wooden planks into a box and my husband built it. I have decided I will not be planting any vegetables that I do not eat, so will concentrate on salad ingredients.
