    It's been a very long time since I ordered flowers, but I use to always send by Bunches as there is usually a code hanging around. But it's been a long time so hopefully someone who is more helpful than me arrives with recommendations soon :o

    Hope you're feeling a little better, Lunch sounds good!

    Take care

    Hi Beanie,

    I have just used google to find the nearest florist to a friends house , and contacted them to see what they can do for me . Have usually been cheaper than the online florists . Other than that have used bunches as WF has already said.

    Can't help with the flowers, beanie, but so sorry you're that exhausted. Your lunch out sounds great, the company and the food, very difficult when you're under par anyway.

    Same here - I try to do this as it means I'm paying a local business direct, I assume they lose a percentage to the networks otherwise. Plus if the delivery goes amiss it means people can pick up easily.
