    What plants did you get ?

    Sorry if that sounded like I bought plants that were £11.97 each. I bought loads of 'Young plant collections' a vincus and then I forgot to add onto cost....seeds for 29p a packet. They were well hidden and didn't see them 'til I had already paid for all food etc. I got runner beans and spinach. Much , much cheaper than garden centre. Sorry to talk about spending but this was my end of Lent treat!

    All this talk of chocolate is killing me. I still have an Easter egg hidden in my bedroom I bought for DD's BF. He knows it is here so I can't eat it.

    Sorry, I didn't think you'd bought plants that were 11.97, I'm getting into gardening this year so I was interested in what you had bought.

    Ive always wondered why you dont get chocolate chewing gum?

    Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    According to Wrigleys tho, the cocoa butter makes the gum too soft. Interesting.

    I've still got all my easter eggs left! 1 from work, 1 from parents, 1 from a friend. And 3 galaxy caramel eggs - creme egg sized. First to PM me can have the 3 galaxy eggs, I can send them free from work ;) Or you can have one each :rotfl:

    Planning on coming straight home from hairdressers so that I cant chat to you lovely people all day :)

    Hi all

    Can I join in when I've finished my own challenge? Only 4 days left to go!!:j

    At least your challenge will be a bit easier in that I'll have bit of money for nights out, treats etc.

    Looking forward to joining you all soon.
