    Morning All :)

    Do any of the green fingered elite have any tips on buying cheap landscape fabric (to mulch a load of weeds with)? I want to do about 4 x 10 metres (possibly more)

    I find the fabric a real pain. Weeds can puncture it and when it frays it can be quite messy....easy to trip over it.

    I much prefer black visqueen which you can get from the builders merchants. I have some that's lasted for years and years and I just roll it up and reuse it.:)

    What do you usually use in this country LS? Just if you are on contract, I know a lot of the phone companies let you buy an add-on to make calls when overseas. [STRIKE]I know I paid about £2 a month[/STRIKE] free, but can use my inclusive calls and texts [STRIKE]overseas[/STRIKE]only in Europe. May be worth looking into if on a contract.
    Edit: Correcting mistakes.

    I'm on o2 here and when in Europe pay £2 a day for unlimited calls, texts and internet. The 3 mi-fi is great for ipads and others who haven't got he o2 deal.

    For any savers in Kent - Kent Reliance have a regular saver 4% paying in at branch only up to £500 per month. Does not have to be a specific day of the month just once per calender month.
    Its not a bad rate is it matty....The only hassle is that you cant open it on line....Kent Reliance are stuck in the dark ages...still use lots of pen and paper....you even get given a passbook.....however, it didnt stop me from nipping into branch to take advantage of this account :D

    matty...you do realise you can set up a s/o for the monthly payments ....so you dont have to go back into branch each month?

    Vodafone. I know I can add eurotraveller for £3 a day, but thats obviously not going to cover USA at the end when I am much more likely to want to use phone. I did briefly look into it.

    Random question for you as I know you like your cruises - have you ever smuggled alcohol on? And if so what did you use? Disney has gone from a take what you like onboard to 2 bottles of wine, so am considering options!



    Congratulations on your retirement pippo. :)
