Almost got the full list - No soy sauce or big vinegar etc cos missed off chinese supermarket and no bi-carb - kept thinking I will find a bigger one but I didn't. Otherwise all the list in the garage now all on shelves and ordered

Bluis ?OIC?

LT - try and google - bag pots or something similar - OR POLYPOTS OR LOOK AT THIS - LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT THING - http://www.hadopots.co.uk/ -you will get these in garden centres on shelves stashed away somewhere - nurseries use them alot as well - they are easy to use and v cheap - if you can't find any pm me - I have a stash here can send you some

OIC = Oh, I see. - sorry!

Angelflower, I gave Fay the Stardrops. I got them in Semi-Chem.

Oh I forgot ,
I also made two soups , butternut squash and ginger and very very MSE Home grown Nettle soup , although I did add some green vegetables to it............it didnt help the taste though.

If you find it bitter try adding some carrots that usually helps.

I added some celery , and broccolli just because it was in the fridge, I didnt mind the taste it just wasnt to my taste if that makes sense

Home now, finished nasssssty work :jCan do fun things now!!

Olive & Fay, thanks so much for slug advice, Olive I LOVED your bribing the kids idea, that is so cool, unfortunately my DDs (9 and 6) would turn blue with horror and keel over if I suggested such a thing - even with a cash incentive!! :rotfl:Might suggest it just to see the reaction though...:p

We have used pellets in the past (BAD mogchops) but I dont want to this year if can avoid it - cat, children, birds, etc etc. Like the sound of the organic thingies (forgot name already - pmsl - nemesties??!!) but am skint to the bone at the mo, so am going to start with the free ideas - pick em off meself (with gloves - bleuugh) and put broken eggshell all round the edges. Presume with eggshell/grit etc they cant get over it because its sharp?

So far not seen any, am keeping my peepers peeled though!

Thanks again guys xxx

And Fay - I love your mini sparkly garage shop!! Looks fab!!
