Garden bits & pieces :)

Options
So I have been on the lookout again for things to transform my (previously) dull little patch of grass.

I got this:
http://www.homebargains.co.uk/products/10393-ecotrend-garden-stomp-stones-case-of-10.aspx

which makes a brilliant path, and I bought 20 (I know, but I couldn't resist and they're onnly £1 each!!) of these to go on either side:
http://www.poundworldplus.co.uk/buy/solar-light-post_5569.htm

It looks like a processional aisle now!

I also got these to go in the (stunted!) apple tree: http://www.poundworldplus.co.uk/buy/multi-coloured-solar-lights-100-leds_6420.htm
now it's finished with its blossom (what there was of it, lol) it's been perked up by these!

And finally I have put these on the fence http://www.poundworldplus.co.uk/buy/solar-fence-light_5264.htm

I seem to have gone a bit solar-mad, but I'm not an electrician and don't want to start messing about with plugging things in and adaptors and all that jazz!!

I'll let you know how they fare...

    Well I do shot at £ shops, yes! I'm not ashamed to say it - if I had more money I would probably shop at John Lewis, Fortnum & Masons, Waitrose etc. But I've got debts you know!

    So it's Aldi & the £1 shops/bargain shops and if I can make my house/garden look good for less money, I'm happy :)

    They may last a year if you are lucky, cheap solar lights usually fail within a few months as I have seen with my friends/neighbours and family over the years.

    You could be luckier than me and my friends though.
