I Have A Plan!

I Have A Plan!

Posted on 22 Sep, 2008 39 comments

Having found it almost impossible to keep up with everyone’s beautiful photos, I have decided to work through my list of ‘favourites’ one a day and catch up on everyone’s gardens.

Today was ‘Chrispook Day’ and I’ve just enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the last couple of months of pictures.

I think this might work….........

I frequently go back to look at old photos from members. Some of you might be surprised when you get a comment on a photo from way back!
Good idea to have a plan, Gillian.
When you're busy, have a "Terratoonie Day" ~
I currently have only 4 photos. LOL

Hi Gillian... I think that you will find that this works well. I started doing this myself about a month ago because it was very hard to keep up as this site grows.

You've hit on something here.

Gillian will hopefully reveal which day is to be known as BONKERS DAY, so that we can mark it in our diaries.

Please don't choose 7th Oct. as I have a dental appointment.

For obvious reasons, ANDREWR DAY will be celebrated in Jellystone Park . :o)

Blonde BB :
You'll need special headgear to protect your new hairdo, with a dripfeed attachment for medication.

Jacque has already passed 2012 in pictures uploaded.
Reckon Jacque boots would be ideal to wade through so many photos. That ought to qualify Jacque for our Wellie Olympic team.

Bonkersblond: if you run out of things to compliment, there's probably a few new tats. on a blog somewhere. :o)

I came home from work yesterday feeling fairly organised (for once!) then discovered about thirty new emails since I left for work that morning, about twenty of which were re.GOY ! Since people here seemed to want dinner so I put off venturing onto here until now.
I actually cheated a little yesterday and ventured into Marksbegonias as well as Chrispook, but will finish looking at his pictures today. You could be right about it becoming Jacque week, I've got a lot to catch up on there!
Terratoonie I'm sorry to hear you have a dental appointment on my birthday, that's meant to be a happy day!
Right now I have to head onto facebook and catch up with my groups, dungeons & dragons etc. then start on some housework ( I'm home today!) but expect me back later!

I have a Greek dentist. She's lovely. She has a new baby.
So with luck, Gillian, your birthday will be happy ~
Just a quick check of my teeth and then looking at baby photos. I bet the baby girl has nice teeth. Lol. :o)

So, you ventured over to Marksbegonias. That's almost 900 pics. Chrispook has 1121 at the last count. Jacque has just joined the Wellie Olympics team and has in excess of 2012 amazing photos. Just how much housework do you hope to achieve? :o)

I have already seen a fair number of those pictures, just missing about the last couple of months.
Housework I have planned today is mainly laundry, baking, bathroom cleaning and grocery shopping - should be do-able!
Just got back from facebook where someone is picking on my dragon so I had to enlist help to deal with that. Apparently he went off fighting on his own last night too and managed to win that one!
Then I had to send Fuggle off on his new adventure and go on a quest in Elven Blood - luckily all these little distractions don't take long and fit in nicely when I'm waiting for laundry to be done etc.!

Oh, that's okay then.
All dragons safely in the den.
You seem very normal indeed.
Just for a moment I thought maybe the stress of it all had become too much for you, and BB and I would be prescribing a course of our medication. :o)

'Normal' is open to many interpretations!
Anyway, back to see how Fuggle is doing !

My fourth, and most fantastic photo ~
Cow Watering Lane ~ is struggling badly from lack of comments and likes.:o(

This has severely affected my ability and confidence in uploading more photographs. :o(

How can I compete with amazing pictures of broken trowels, gnomes with bows, and special travel cages for cockatiels :o)

Good on you Gillian. Let me know if it works, ok. I just check when I am on line at the member's page and follow people that way. I see names new to me, yet they've been her longer than I. It really is impossible to keep up with all the members. Time differences also play a role, I seem to be hours ahead of most, even a whole day to some, so when those people post, I am asleep, lol.
Just like now, I am hitting the sack.
Happy Birthday, many happy and healthy returns Gillian!
