Hazy sunshine this morning, but still dry. Forecast is pure sunshine all day, no rain at all. Could get used to this! (As long as we have the odd heavy shower overnight to water the gardens lol). I was looking online last week and saw an artificial palm tree for sale on that infamous selling site TEMU. (You either love it or hate it ). Looked good but then most stuff like that looks NOTHING like the photos does it. So it was at such a cheap price I thought well I'll order it and if it's no good then fair enough, it if it looks good then it will look fab in a big pot in garden. It arrived yesterday. I opened it, and was sooo impressed. It actually looks real! Put it in a big pot I had, put it by the garden furniture, it all looked very tropical. MrSmow came out and I just pointed to it and said what do you think? He looks and thinks it's real too! Had to go up close to see it wasn't lol. Should have ordered 2 lol.

Today I'm going to try and fit in a trip to the tip with out garden waste, then usual work & housework. Oh, and book car in for its service as that's due in 2 weeks, god that came around quick!

So what's everyone's Wednesday plans? Relaxing, shopping, pottering or working? lol x

Good Morning Smow et al. I've still got a few bare patches in the vegetable garden so if it stays fine later I'll be going in search of seeds or pots to fill them up. Otherwise nothing planned although I do have a creaking floorboard I keep meaning to sort out - procrastination is easier though LOL.

Good morning Smow, Canary and everyone else who's about. Brilliant sunshine this morning and more predicted through the week. I was out yesterday so today it's part housework and part relaxing. I've got a book from Ebay due at some point. Oh the excitement!

I meant to add that I've never ordered from temu...but I've been tempted.

Hi Pasta, yeh I started ordering from them last year, even tho I'd read endless bad reviews about stuff arriving and it's nothing like photos, everything comes up tiny blah blah. So I tried them and I've been nothing but super impressed with them. Their customer service is second to none - if anything even arrives a day late they give you a refund or a discount!

Morning alba - new summer outfits for a holiday, or just to treat yourself?x

pasta - lol, honestly I just love them. And if you add stuff to your basket then justbleave it and don't check out, well you then get an email saying ohh you've forgot things in your basket and they offer a discount! So I always add stuff now, leave it and that day or nxt get a discount offer so checkout then lol. Best discount was 80% I think. Beware tho as site can be addictive LOL!

Morning Smow xx

Was really just for the heck of it. Oooooh, 80%! Very, very nice.

I went investigating with a price limit of £20 which went out the window pdq lol. I think I'd have to be really strict with myself.
