Good morning folks.

Looks like its not as windy today, still raining though. Yesterday felt like it was blowing a gale and it was raining as well so not a nice day.

Hope everyone is well

Good afternoon all,

I have been thinking about buying some water butts for the garden to try and save some of our water, particularly as I have moved to a new bungalow and will need to lay a lawn in the near future and obviously will need to keep it watered, which is no easy task due to the hosepipe ban!


I have tried the local DIY/garden centres and no one has any! Anyway I came across this site that sells "Recycled Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC)" at a much more cost effective price. They have been used before for the food industry, ie orange juice etc. I was just wondering if anyone on here had used them before? They do smaller ones but I am looking for 1000+ litres.

Tesco sell water butts for £20+ and I saw a load in store yesterday. They are the tall slimline ones.

Genmod55 well done on the move. You have just reminded me we need a new water butt our tap is broken so all water leaks out and we on water meter so need to conserve water where we can - just seems to be low on our priority list atm but with the current situation probs need to be more pro- active.

Good morning, hope everyone who has been poorly is feeling better.

CouponWoman - Thanks for the info, would probably have gone for the Tesco ones but now that I have been researching online the IBCs certainly seem like a good deal.

Adoreholidays - Definitely worth thinking about conserving water, especially if you like gardening. How is the weight going (pardon the pun)? Whilst I was busy moving house although I went to WW, unfortunately my heart wasn't in it and so over the space of 4 weeks I put on 1 pound! Got myself organised last week and lost 3.5 pounds and this week only 1 pound, but as Tesco say "every little helps".

Oops! Just read your post about the shortbread Adoreholidays.:eek:

Thanks Genmod55 for asking abt weight loss haven't been able to follow the plan for abt the last 6 weeks alot going on travelling etc etc weighed in 2 weeks ago only put 1lb on could have kissed the leader probs the only person to be pleased at putting a 1lb on:rotfl:that week but thought I had done alot worse considering what I had eaten:eek:. weighed in this week lost 2.5 lbs:j still not quite counting the pro pts but starting a fresh this week so hopefully now back on track definately not going to reach my 2 stone target for NY thou:( currently lost 12lb since Jan so better than nothing. Just shows it was possible DSIL started at the same time she is 2.5lbs away from her 2 stone she has done brilliantly.:T:T:T.

Well done you on only putting on 1lb:j very diffcult when moving etc as hard to focus on planning when so hectic just rely on making good choices and hope for the best:rotfl:now hopefully things will settle again now.


YES I cursed my DS for bringing them home worse was I was the only one eating them, but did a very brave thing when came home on Tues from mtg grabbed the packet as had abt 5 still in there threw them in the bin tied the bag and put outside. So wouldn't be tempted to eat the rest cos they were yummy
