Had some spare time to finally take down the shed that’s been sitting in the yard for while! Actually it was quite easy as most of the wood was rotten. The most difficult and tiring thing was moving all the rubble to the front garden before making a total of three trips to the tip to complete the mission. I then spent the rest of the afternoon watching rugby and potting the vast number of plants Phoebe has deposited in the back yard.
Finally got round to taking the doors off upstairs and got them stripped at Guildford Door Stripping. Managed to drop them off the day before and then pick them up at Lunch whilst I was unfortunately working the weekend. Still, they certainly do make a difference once back in place! It’s worth remembering that they charge £25 per door to strip and only strip on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They can do it in one day but you need to get the door(s) to them before 9am if you want to pick them up for around 430pm. Highly recommend getting someone to strip doors or anything else otherwise it’s a very long process using paint stripper and scrappers…….
Mum, Dad, Phoebe’s and I paid a visit to Chelsea and the world famous flower show as none of us had ever been before. I think we were expecting a fairly quiet afternoon concidering it was a memembers afternoon but we were sure wrong……it was absolutely heaving! 
Still, we wandered around looking at the exhibit gardens and managed to get a peek at some of them after pushing through the onlookers. Mum and Dad descided to wander around on their own so Pheebs and I also wandered looking at the impressive floral displays. We managed to bump into Kim Cattrall in the covered hall but didn’t see any further movie stars. We managed to also see Alan Titchmarsh sitting in one of the gardens about to talk about something but didn’t get anywhere near due to the crowds of people flocking. It was good to finally see what all the fuss was about but to be honest I think it’s a little expensive to wander round a sales pitch arena. From talking to other friends who’ve been there, the trick is to get there first thing in the morning and then run around very quickly before the hoards turn up! lol I believe the Hampton Court Flower show is supposed to be bigger, less packed and more worth the dosh, so perhaps we’ll try that next year. Still it’s give Pheeb’s and I some things to think about……
