    I've been out in the garden loads this morning looking at everything I've missed for the last two weeks- my potatoes are all starting to flower my apple tree had loads of little bud apples on, my cherry tree has 3 cherries but is blighted by bloody blackfly :mad: I've got loads of raspberries coming out and some tomatoes are developing flowers too :D

    But I now have only one and a half apricots :(

    I've potted up two aloe vera plants I was given by the hotel last night :D

    While I was away, I ordered a couple of dwarf banana plants. They got here before I did :rotfl: but I have to get them from the sorting office tomorrow

    I've only been able to do 1 load of washing because the heavens look like they're gonna open any time and I'm kicking myself now because I could have got it dried outside

    Thanks :D, in the ground, would soaking them longer be beneficial please? :)...I'm away for the w/e, so won't have time to plant them til I get back....

    Yes, but I'm not sure if there's a point at which they become over-soaked (I am just a learner), but did come across this comment on a website about bare root trees in general:

    "If I’m not ready to plant, I keep the roots moist. One way to keep roots damp is to repack them in moist material, perhaps the same packing material in which they arrived. Otherwise, moist autumn leaves, wood chips, or even shredded newspaper will suffice."

    I'm sure someone on here with greener fingers than me will know :)

    A distinctive taste, like nothing to do with cocoa:D:rotfl: Cadbury's dairy milk is only just legally classed as chocolate - think it has to have a minimum of 20 or 21% cocoa to be called choccie. I still eat it though. In fact, I've been eating them wonka bars lately, god they are $h1te:eek: it's only cos they are free. no wonder they were reduced. the millionaires one though is ok.

    Dippy and Bubbs, I've got some for you :rotfl:

    Vegelate isn't it? The British taste of what we call 'chocolate' but elsewhere in the EU wanted to class as what they do - now, their's is real chocolate!!:)

    I don't think its vegelate that makes it taste good as that would be Mars and Nestle chocolate also and I don't really like these chocolates :think: Its their secret ingredient I think :rotfl:

    Doesn't help that they are always in a different order does it?:mad: I was thinking of putting my M list into alphabetical order and just forgetting msm completely on it. (Well - almost - still need to get A prices again, to see if changed - but that to be done as and when.) Would have been much easier, especially when I was instore in M and found a product price and then was trying to find where it was on my list!! (I gave up in the end and just wrote it down in a random place - to be sorted later.) FWIW - absolutely nothing if it's an invisible trigger - I think the Dove Compressed APD is on 'offer' for M now.

    One other from my wombles a few weeks back - I did have a chuckle when they paid full price on the Nivea Black & White travel deo.:rotfl: after the glitch had ended. Useless for the womble result by that stage though.

    I don't mind this too much as its simple enough to put them in alphabetical order but I hate it when they do this:

    MSM : Imperial Leather for Men Shower Gel & Shampoo - Purify(500ml)
    Sada: Imperial Leather For Men Hair & Body Wash

    The above are the same item but I had to check each picture to be sure. It makes no sense to describe them differently :mad:

    Also I haven't yet found a way to copy and paste into Excel without it pasting every item twice. The list for Sada is easy to edit as I just filter out all the ones with "Add" at the end and delete them. However with the MSM list I to go through the filter box and manually tick of every duplicate which is a little time consuming. I'm thinking of buying a book on Excel so I can learn more of the functions which may make glitch spotting easier and quicker :D
