Saturnalia

Yay, nail stampers have arrived at my Poundland!

Got a pack of 9 Quaker Harvest Chewy cereal bars for £1. They're handy for breakfast on the go, quite substantial.

Tempted by the plants again - black hollyhocks & freesias especially.

Apart from that, nothing much caught my eye.

in Deptford Poundland today:
Get Fresh Naked – Minty Menthol Body Wash (RRP £3.99)
It's sulphate and paraben free.
I looked it up on my phone and they had other 'flavours' on the Naked website for £1, so I didn't buy any. Checked on the computer just now and it's OOS... back to Poundland tomorrow!

has anyone bought any of the plants in cardboard sleeves? I was tempted by a purple climbing rose, it's still alive but not much more than a twig at the moment. Just wondered whether it's worth persevering with it.

i bought a box of organic potato fertiliser too, seems good value.

I bought a blackcurrant 'bush' a couple of weeks ago and it's doing really well although it already had a lot of new growth poking out of the cardboard when I bought it. In the past I've bought roses which were dormant and just looked like sorry old twigs but they always sprang into life eventually and thrived.

The majority of my Poundland plants have been fine, but the raspberry canes were a failure, 1 out of 6 showed a few inches growth and then died.

I have the same kind of success/failure rates with Poundland as I do with the other major plant suppliers.

A couple of years ago I bought 2 climbing roses from Poundland which were no more than twigs to start. One died but the other one is superb. It has climbed up and covered my 6 foot fence and flowers at least twice a year. I checked yesterday and it is covered in new leaves. Good luck!

Just to add to that - we've found their stuff to be every bit as good as Thompson & Morgan (and most of it is better quality).
