Has anyone had any success with the wildflower seed boxes. Two years running I have bought them and not a thing.

No, but I had intended to get some to create a nature habitat for bees etc. I am now put off buying them.

Its finally hotting up a bit so perhaps we'll see some action now?

That was my plan too VfM4meplse!

Maybe an oldie, but I think these Amber Lenses/Gold Frame or Mirrored Black Lenses/Silver Frame Aviator Sunglasses are great for £1. In store at Argyle Street, Glasgow this afternoon.

Big clicky in store picture here, so you can see them https://i.imgur.com/QlSMRXg.jpg

I bought the Black Mirrored/Silver Frame version.

Tag says, "Filter Category 3 - High Protection", "Conform To European Standard EN 12312-1-2015", "100% UV Protection".

I *think* Poundland had Aviators last year - anyway - boyf said if I bought him a pair he'd refuse to wear them!

Poundland sunglassses usually end up in a sorry state, but this lot are in pretty good condition so far, as we haven't really had a summer yet (give or take a few days).

There are more blingy Ladies' sunglasses, should really have taken another picture, but I thought some of them looked a tad cheap - well, they are - but you know what I mean! (just my opinion).

Two quick pictures from Union Street, Glasgow:

Color Secrets Professional LashFix 100% Remy Hair (not sure if that's a good thing) with glue, £1

Click Flameguard 12V GU5.3/MR16 Eyeball Downlighter "More than just a downlighter/full 90 minutes fire rating/integrated fire and acoustic barrier", £1
Amazon listing here (assume mine/their details are correct)!
(the one on the left is Copper coloured and says, "GZ025 240V GZ10 50W" - photo here)

In Argyle Street, I was also lucky enough to find another random Collection Eyeshadow Palette, one I've mentioned before - the 'eyesuncovered' Matte Nude Rose one - £1.

I bought 3 of the Pots & Plants selection and it's been a while since I've planted them, without the slightest hint of growth

Has anyone else tried them and if so, has there been any sign of life?

I bought the pots and baskets one, and its just begun to show several emerging signs of growth this week.

I planted mine a day or two after I'd posted..nearly seven weeks ago..and all the pots I put them have sprouted :cool:

When I watered the pots this evening I detected the smallest green shoots - 1 per pot - and some activity in the lily department. Funny how they stood higher after their drink. I'm confident they'll grow fast now

I went in for some wall brackets for hanging baskets. They had the standard triangular, and an extra strong one - which looked like a long hook - which I plumped for. There was also a decorative one that I thought looked weak. They still had pots and hanging baskets, but they too were small and not particularly robust.

I've seen another glowing review for the V10 peppermint foot mask that ?Loulou posted a while back. Am thinking of treating my tootsies to it.

Has anyone been brave enough to try it?

I had to Google what this actually is! Its a hair oil, and sells for £25 elsewhere - so a good spot for those who need it.

I bit the bullet and had my long hair cut short three months ago, if I never have to buy a taming product again I'm happy!!

I bought one in Home Bargains for 89p and used it on Tuesday night. You have to leave it on for 90 minutes so I did it while watching BGT. I didn't have much hard skin so it'll be interesting to see what happens. The instructions reckon skin will start peeling after 7 days. Watch this space......
