I bought a blueberry plant two years ago and it has done nothing. It is alive but doesn't grow - I have fed it and it is in ericaceous compost, but nothing.

I bought one last year and mine didn't have any blueberries: but neither did the much bigger blueberry bushes I got from a garden centre and they cost more than £1!

This year, the Poundland bush is making some growth, but the (much bigger) bushes I got from the garden centre, have really grown and have lots of flowers. As someone said, the Poundland bushes are cuttings and take time to grow, but they only cost £1 (unless you can get some cuttings from a friend for free).

Went back to Poundland to replace the things I lost yesterday, of course I bought more stuff I don't really need..

Maybelline "High Heel" mascara in blue or brown-black (I have a similarly-packaged older mascara of theirs called "Stiletto", not sure if it's renamed, it looks identical otherwise).

Saw Sony CD-Rs, boxes of five, in Argyle Street and Trongate, Glasgow, not that I use them any more, barely even use DVDRs.

Months after I was looking for them (for a Xmas Stocking), came across Thomas The Tank Engine bath crayon sets in Argyle Street, just a few left, tucked at the back of a shelf.

Team Hot Wheels cars (Trongate) that look really cool for little boys, and big boys!

Miners' Complexion Collection highlighter/blusher kits (Argyle Street): http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Miners-Complexion-Blush-Highlighter-Collection-/00/s/MzE5WDQ5Mg==/z/SHUAAOxyY9VRM0bZ/$T2eC16RHJGwE9n)yTU2pBRM0bZUIbQ~~60_12.JPG

No Venus Fly Traps to be found, bah.

I brought that Maybelline mascara and it's actually really good. I went back and got some more so I ended up with x2 brown and x2 blue.

The blue is more of a teal like colour - not electric blue. Lovely stuff

I got some Thomas the Tank Engine jelly sweets in the Bury branch the other day. Only a medium sized bag so not a grabbit in terms of quantity - but all the sweets are shaped like the characters so a good buy for a Thomas mad child! (or adult...)

I bought one of those mushroom packs and have a feeling I am going to end up with one rather expensive mushroom!

I believe it's best to buy snowdrops in the green for success.
