    I have been in the loft today and out came all sorts. Part of my saying is to use what we have instead of buying again. So out came cushions, stored clothes, games and EMPTY BOXES that once had things in.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

    Today i got freebies! Yay!

    1. Lots of lovely bubble wrap form my Approved Foods order.

    2. Went to B and Q and got 4 bags of wood bark chips for the price of 3 AND saw a trolley full of storage box lids with a sign for people to help themselves...I took 5 and they fit perfectly on the shelves in my plastic upright growhouse.

    Lady next door gave me a very sad looking azalea saying her d-in law gave her it as a pressie but she hated these wee plants in the house. I told it not to worry I would love it and take care of it ( yes I am bonkers and talk to all of my plants) I gave it a good water and low and behold it revived wonderfully, even the dead looking flowers look glorious, see if you give love you get love:D
    Took a wander into the c shop and spotted a lovely burr elm bowl for £1, I have always coveted stuff made of burr wood but it has always been way too pricey for me.................till today:D
