~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

@Glisten it didn't take all that long to get rid of the smell as my seats are leather, not fabric. I managed to get rid of the offending tuna pieces straight away and when we got home I wiped the seat down with a damp cloth. Had they been fabric I would definitely have brought out the bleach and drop sheets. Plus a shovel to hide the body 🤣

Edit: yes it was summer. I made the kids sit in the back without air con on and windows down. The trip home was about 10 minutes so they didn't suffer too terribly.

Hey @ENKELI , don't know where else to say hi. Do you have another thread I can tag you?

@Jynx glad you're home and settling back with your furbabies. Family stuff can be very intense.

The first photo is the original Jynxy gerbera and the second one is Jynxy2 which hasn't flowered since the original blooms but is looking very lush. #1 looks scraggly but has flowered non stop since I brought it home. The white and orange ones are 3 & 4.

I'm going to have to go and get some more plants so that I don't have fisticuffs with the other Sane plants lol! 🤣

Sadly I lost a few plants due to the extended hot spell Perth had so I will be going plant shopping again soon, what a shame!

@tyme oh I'm a bit of a hussy, I flit about on several threads!!

How are you my sweet Tymey? I was just thinking of you as I am heading off to Funnings on the weekend to get some more plants and my store finally has both the lemon thyme and standard in stock. The lemon thyme smells soooooo good with a strong lemon scent.

I am going to start a new thread called the Sane Garden and tag everyone who has a plant in the garden 😍

@PeppyPatti I can't believe the prices of houses in Perth now. I bought my house for 95 000 in 1998 and a house with the same specs as mine down the road sold for nearly 800 000. As soon as I have the money I will be renovating my house and getting it up to scratch.

I can't remember what you suggested for my bro but he's been a good boy today so I have decided I'll keep him. I just need to vent sometimes 😊

How are you feeling today? No more up chucking?
And am I allowed to ask about Mr Rocker?

@ENKELI more plant shopping?! Ohh noooooo.... (read in most sarcastic tone you can muster!) 😝

They look very happy 😊 Sucks to lose some plant babies, I know I've lost a few succulents - some got a bit sunburned, others got overtaken by the prickly pear that is starting to get to a point where I'm like 'hmm... was rescuing that one wee lil guy wise, when these fellas can grow HUGE?' 😅

@ENKELI I totally forgot about the ongoing Fence Negotiations. Soz.

Why can’t people just be socially respectful and responsible. Ho-hum.

What sort of fence do you want?

🙌🏼 Colourbond fence in Monument? I’m painting P’s fence, my Monday Landscape job, in Deep Ocean. Because that colour goes better with Red brick 🧱

After two hours work, I finally got all the offend passion fruit seeds out of my car. . . I think lol
