I just LOVED it when I had to pull the weeks, rake the grass, cut the lawn. Clear up after we did some building work, (I used to be my husbands labourer)and though NOTHING of lifting heavy blocks, bags, concrete you name it I did it, hence, my problems now.......oh and I did have 4 babies too........

But I do dream of owning a HUGE garden, with a sit on mower and oceans of greenery to roam about. But then my husband brings me back down to earth and asks, 'and who is going to maintain it?' I just meekly look over my laptop and smile

Ah well a girl can dream
