    Thanks everyone!

    Whoopidoo I stuffed the pot with strips of white tissue paper around the base of the 'trunk' and stuffed it til the topiary didnt move - I would have used clay or blue tack if I had any - that would have created a much sturdier base.

    artydoll - those teddy bears are awesome!!!

    Just so you know, there may be a little bit of confusion on the spongebob front - he has a pink starfish friend called Patrick and a Squid friend called Squidward - i can imagine Patrick is the one your grandson wants :)
