    I got the most fabulous bargain on an oilcloth tablecloth: £3.50 for 2m. It's perfect and I'd priced a similar one earlier in the week at £35.

    That's fantastic are you using it for a table cloth or are you making something out of it?

    Been to Morries and to foodtasting - second this week - and I've another Thursday *kerching* and bought seeds - carrots (Chantenay) spring onions, parsips and Little Gems - so that'll be happy slugs in Valliland. have decided to plant runner beans where I had intended to stick raspberries but things got hectic in Autumn so I never had the time. So I shall buy those tomorrow and start them off in pots.

    Thank you Lamewolf, I'll get investigating online :) My parents have offered to take the smaller two but the bigger two are both a bit special and are interesting characters. I know they are going to hate kennels :( but OH and haven't been away alone for 5 years.

    Today has been very productive and the new garage is now full of all garage type items, and my house isn't :) I have also had a quick clean around all the rooms which were storing the garage contents so I am knackered but very contented :)

    Looking forward to tomorrow's room already :)
