    With collect+ you get a code and you enter this on the website and you can track your parcels progress via the website through the system. The other week I took 2 parcels to the parcelshop (actually supercigs in the middle of town so very convient) lunchtime on Tuesday, oen for London and one for Soth Wales, both arrived lunchtime next day, Wednesday :T

    Yep I find 1-2 working days is typical. (Collect+)
  • Just booked a day's carpark for my wife for exactly £1 less than going direct to the airport site (same car park), plus 15% TCB on top.

    I love it when that happens :D

    Sorry for delay in posting - I wasn't ignoring your replies I just had to go to Doctors for blood test (just vit D nothing serious). Can't believe computers not frozen on me yet! Well I am out for a few minutes and you all got busy - thank you so much for the information re lily beetles - so helpful..... True elite spirit :T

    I now watch his lillies 3 times a day betweeen mid April and mid October and the furtherest they have got since is one lot of orange eggs laid.

    No need to get rid of the lillies, if you have cleared all traces of the beetle off them x

    Thanks Queenriderbrekke - I will continue monitoring them closely - was a brilliant sunny day when I found the blighters - haven't seen anymore yet. but cloudy today, but will also watch for eggs and grubs .:T

    I used to have a 20ft x 3ft border completely devoted to scented lilies but it only lasted about 3 seasons before they all rotted off in a wet winter. I now just have a few in pots that are moved out on display for the few weeks they are in flower but have had a lot of casulaties with the wet weather.

    What a shame Artha after all that work! I tried putting bulbs in the ground (regale) - didn't work. I love the scented lilies -just used to move pots around - I am now down to one pot - quite tall ones (forget their name now but don't like the colour overmuch - orange so there may be a silver lining if I have to replace). Stargazers and regale now things of the past. We now have younger cats so have resisted buying anymore and make sure these are tied up and by the house and not in borders so the pollen doesn't get on their fur.

    Afternoon!

    So many pages of chat since last night! Hugs to those that need them. I just thought you'd all like to know that the fairy glitch is alive and well in my local Mr T's. Got 5 bottles but was very tempted to clear the shelf!

    I haven't decided whether that's a bum holey thing to do or not....


    Thank you for reminding me to look for the wul, forgot last time I was in...today there were just 2 left:T:T thankyou

    Morgy9 hope things are okay with you ,and thankyou for your message re Auntielala.She spent an hour crying on the phone to me this morning as her DH now has a chest infection and swelling of the brain .She said she feels like she has lost him already and they have told her this is as good as it gets.I have got such mixed emotions about the future and I know she has to and I truly believe what will be will be and we just have to wait and see.
