My SIL is...

...absolutely incredible!

She's almost totally cleared the back yard of everything that was growing over the back wall but my steps weren't long enough for her to reach all the way up so she's going to bring some stronger garden waste bags as well as hopefully her ladder (if she can fit it into her car) when she brings me back tomorrow to try and get even more off.  For the first time since the end of Summer/beginning of Autumn last year, there is actually natural light getting in at the back of the house as well as the front now and I potentially won't need to turn the lights on in the kitchen and bathroom anywhere near as soon as I have done recently, every time I've needed to use the room!

My SIL is great for all the support she and her brother are giving me - we clash heads sometimes but that's because the three of us are human and we're getting to know each other as family members rather than just being in-laws now!
