    We ordered one for DS1 last year on the internet - there's loads around, so maybe you can just do a search on google. Saves you going round all the shops. I'll pm you the name of the company if I can find it.
    Thanks, there's loads around just always good to have a recommendation! I want to do online ordering I think, can always do i*ea which is local but prefer not to!!

    Going to plant the glads now, then I have a large box of summer bulbs to plant, via the greenfinger forum on here, where some one spotted a wonderfull offer.

    Washing on line is dry.

    Afternoon all,

    We've spent most of the day in the garden. We had to come in as i needed a shower after mowing the lawns:eek:. The boys have been very helpful, Ds1 because he wants pocket money and Ds2 because he wants stars on his chart. I thought i'd try a star chart to see if it would help with his behaviour lately. He's trying really hard today so i'm hoping it lasts.He's usually pretty good so i don't know what's got into him.

    We've still got to go the castle with Oh and i'm so shattered i don't want to go. I will suggest he just take Ds2 but i expect he'll say no.:cool:

    DS2's rash went away as quick as it had appeared - odd

    I've cleaned one of the windows frames - I love astonish. It is a pig of a job though so one a day is sufficient (2 of 6 done).

    Off to homebase to get another couple of paint samples and some oil for the lawnmower.
