Easter weekend seems to inspire every DIY addict in the land to rush out and buy planks of wood, paint and heaven only knows what else. Have you seen the queues in B&Q today? Only the brave or very desperate will venture into any of those DIY shops over this weekend if they have any sense.

This weekend I have heard the road come alive with the sound of hammering and drilling. I have also amused myself just watching the cars drive out of B&Q. How on earth do you get those big garden fence panels home in your Clio?? What about the timber decking poking out of the sunroof? Madness!

I will not be joining in with the decorating this weekend. Instead I shall put my feet up and enjoy the break....oh and the snow!! The weatherman says there will be plenty overnight. Lets see if it happens eh!

I am off to try to eat my bodyweight in chocolate.....
