    There were 4 orchids in the Dundee Stack store, well 3 sorry looking ones and a stick.
    I did buy a bag of Applewood Smoking Chips to try on the BBQ they were £1.49 for a 550g bag which I thought was a reasonable price to try them, never used that type of thing before. They also had nice kilner style flip top type jar's filled with sweets the small jar's are £1.99 & the ones I got are filled with yummy heart shaped pastel coloured sweets similar to those alphabet sweets you used to buy a quarter of in a proper sweet shop only even nicer. (It's ok there's loads still left)
    Booo!!!

    Thanks Violetta... I do wish they'd water the plants... It'd only take a few mins and they do get some really reasonable planty stuff in. Will get my friend to get me a couple of the jars when he's at The Range.

    I'm not sure what their "holiday department" is :) but they did have shelves full of sun creams/lotions and a couple of big shelves full of suitcases, if that's any help.



    Yes holiday section is back As my local has lots of holiday gear in already.

    Bought a lovely heavy glass drinks dispenser for just £5.99 its called a Bocca (think that's the brand) 4.8l drinks dispenser link to one on ebay so you can see what it's like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bocca-Round-Drink-Dispenser-4-8ltr-Glass-Lemonade-Juice-beverage-Dispenser-jar-/221663933428?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item339c3333f4 so you can see what it's like. Can just imagine this full of something chilled on a sunny afternoon in the garden.
    Booo!!!
