Got someof the Posh Wash in mine, has anyone tried it?
Also liked the raspberry fruit pieces covered in yoghurt, it was a pack of 5. Tried the fruit strips not so found of them, a bit like cardboard!:)

OMG I must be getting obsessed - I actually dreamed about Poundland last night! Is there any hope??!

I can't find any Dream Analysis of £land, only a Convenience store.
Does this sound like you ?

Ohh I want one of those now! I love Venuses, but I've managed to kill off dozens of them, they are temperamental little blighters.

I picked a dying venus flytrap for £1 from B&Q a few years ago, and it's thriving.

My guide to venus flytraps:D

It only likes de-ionised water (it didn't like me using cold, boiled water) and it likes to be sprayed with de-ironised water too. It likes lots of sunlight, but not the cold, so in the winter I move it around to get any sunlight. In the spring, I pop it on a sunny widowsill and move it overnight. In the summer, during the day, I put it outside; in it's pot; near the courgettes and it fills its traps:eek:

I read you can get more traps if you remove the flower shoot it sends up, but whenever I do that it just goes mad and sends up lots of flower shoots, instead of growing traps.

It's quite hardy realy. The white bottle of B&Q de-ironised bottle is the same colour at the anti freeze bottle and lives in the same place. Yep, I once poured antifreeze into its saucer, but realised when I saw the blue colour, what I done and rinsed the base of its pot quickly under the tap. It's still here and madly sending out flower shoots and lots of new traps atm.

And to keep it on the poundland theme. I use poundlands tomato feed for my courgettes (grown in buckets).

I've just noticed it says that they are hard to grow under normal conditions, wish i had read the packet first!

An air diffuser by Iba (pretty glass bottle with reeds, in virgin island scent, smells lush, from PoundWORLD)

I make my own diffusers. Very MSE and I get to choose the smell:D But I do use the Poundland barbecue sticks for my reeds, as they are thin. 100 sticks (reeds) for £1

I've tried the cherry one and dewberry. The cherry smells really good. I bought more.

If I use it as a shower gel then I have to hold on tight as it tries to slide out of my hand.

It says on this site they are easy to grow from seeds and gives guidelines
