I ended up only doing the bits that hadn't been done last weekend (it was nearly waist high in places) and it took me just under an hour and I sweated the whole time! DH can re-mow the lot during the week when he gets home.

Now I'm off to the shops to buy a belt for all my work pants (they're starting to fall off and I'm not buying new ones yet!), I also might put a few dresses on layby.
