    Bedding type stuff is almost certainly cheaper on line I would have thought?

    Other things, look for local nurseries ( rather than garden centres) or if its specific plants look online again, or through the source a plant via RHS. Our big garden centre with the coach trips has a sale corner I use a bit, (some plants are decent value, most are not) and we have another nursery that is good value and they don't reduce prices for me, but they do point out or keep back best specimens after getting to know me, And they gave me a free plant once because I liked it.


    ( doozer, Fir and I chopped mature pyrocantha down to the roots, but its alive and well, orange berried, a few plants, Could be bagged for a minis back seat. I mentioned before that if you wanted them doozer could take them....I cannot get them out though, I am sure he could...) I don't like to throw valuable plants away even if I cannot use them.

    I'd better get out there!

    Also realised I have large offcuts of some giant joists on site that would make a lovely raised bed :)

    Anyone wanting to take away our pyracantha is most welcome. You'll need to be brave!
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Not gone anywhere yet. I forgot I had to do wages. Electrician called to remind me not to pay him until new tax year, then I remembered everyone else :o

    Getting close enough to ours to cut it back is going t o be the difficulty.

    Done all my clients' payrolls, now for the year end stuff (sigh!)
    Still, a lot quicker and easier when not using **ge software.

    Moneysoft here. Never used Xero - I'll have a look.
    Looks OK - but pricing model wouldn't work for me.
