    Hugs to you untouchable :(

    Welcome Stiltoncheese, enjoy your potting :D

    Well I think I chucked 7p in the pot but i cant actually remember :think: I def remember DS giving me change from going to the shop for me, and I remember some schrapnel amongst the notes and £1 coins which is not in my purse so either its in the pot or DH has nicked it :eek:

    DD's Disn*y stuff turned up today :D ooo I like the lotso cuddly bear, it does indeed smell of strawberries but is not overpowering at all (which I was worried about) just a really subtle smell . . . do you think I could keep it for myself instead :D :rotfl:

    DS has also convinced me to buy him Vans to wear to school :eek: managed to get a pair off amaz0n for £22 so not too bad but he better not wreck them in the first term of school of he be spending the rest of the year bare foot! also made use of the grabbit board (got to stop going on there!!) and got him 2 jumpers, tshirt and new wallet for xmas for £22.80 in the add*ct sale should have been £160 :eek: what are these retailers on with their prices! :eek: but DS will be happy . . not sure about my bank balance though :eek: :rotfl:

  • I am so sorry to hear your sad news untouchable. Hugs to you and your family....

    I have a bargain to report :).... At B * Q they were about to throw away some mature tomato plants complete with a sizeable pot and lots of ripe fruit already on them :eek: On investigation, not only could I buy them for 50p each but the very kind assistant allowed me to have all the loose ripe tomatoes about to be put in the skip! For £1 I have two lovely plants and about a pound of small tomatoes ready to eat :T I have therefore potted the one remaining pound coin from my purse as I don't need to buy tomatoes from the supermarket for the next couple of weeks and I will have two lovely pots for next year in which to grow my own :j It certainly pays to keep your eyes peeled and to be bit inquisitive at times ;)

    Hope everyone is well and a big WELCOME to any newbies x

    Untouchable - sad news, hope you are ok. sending you a hug and hope you don't mind me saying so, celebrate her life, not her passing.

    welcome sammyjo and stiltoncheese (love that name).

    well, 4 x £2 for the owls head and the usual £1 per day and a big handful of scrapnel - didn't count it but it went into the campervan pot. (must count it the contents as nothing else will go in there!).

    the weather is gorgeous here in suffolk, but we need the rain quite badly especially for my fruit trees!

    ttfn.

    There are 2 bears, is it the one with the walking stick you've 'smelt' or the one without? :rotfl: We have the one without (so it doesnt talk) and I can hardly smell the strawberries at all, its just like walking past someone wearing a squirt of perfume, you just get a faint whiff of him :rotfl::rotfl:
