I got some decent plants from Stratford today - echinacea sea holly and aquilegia. Sadly I probably got the last of them as I asked the bloke to open some more boxes and most of them were dead.

Hopefully they will get more in.

I was in Morrisons last week and they had a great selection of plants from £1 and quite a few £2 each or two for £3. They are a hundred times better than the poundland ones and are well worth the extra.
Incidentaly, I thought I was doing well this year when I had three of the Poppy roots/cuttings from Poundland grow. Now they've grown a bit I can see that they're not Poppys!! They're Aquilegia's .

Thanks yes I popped into the Morrisons at Stratford for the first time ever and got marigolds and geraniums reduced to 25p and also an osto what ever it's called for £1.50 so was very pleased.

Will go back again sometime soon.

The exact opposite of the definition of "purity", then!

I got some great lawn seed in my local the past week, it's called Chatsworth and comes in a big 500g pack. I needed about 4 boxes to cover my medium sided oval lawn but it's in such a sorry state it needed it!

Anyway, after only 2 days i could already see new grass had grown and after 4 days it's looking a lot better than before! For anyone that can find it this is a great buy

Box looks like this: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/GRASS-SEED-AND-LAWN-FERTILISER-500G-BOX-/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/z/vzIAAMXQiw5RYuDC/$T2eC16d,!zEE9s3!Y9EIBRYuDCMlP!~~60_35.JPG

I have been using the shampoo and conditioner (the volume ones) and think the conditioner is ok, it doesn't make my hair greasy, just very soft, doesn't really seem to add volume though, maybe it suits some people's hair better than others?

Can't see this posted (did search), so maybe new to stores. Flexitol Skin Nourishing Oil - skin care for scars, stretch marks etc. normally retails around £7.50. Green/white box 60ml. Found on shelf underneath make up display, not with other skin care products.

The 225g packs of Rainbow Cookies are absolutely delicious.

This is really nice and sinks in amazingly quickly without leaving any residue on the skin. It's 99p in Family Bargains (which is where I bought mine).

I don't know if it's in all stores, but there's a make-up range called Milani (it's in "catwalk" packaging. I've bought the the quad eye shadows (they have blue or green shades) and they're really good. They go on smoothly and last all day. I've also got the "Glimmer Stripes" block, which gives a nice glow to the skin without being overstated.
