Is it just on the leaves, do you have anything else around there that it could be on? Just wondering if it is environmental? If you hose it off does it come back?

Its also on an elderflower tree, and another blackcurrant bush further up the garden, but not on the ones on the opposite side of the garden.

It sounds like davemortonhas black soot mould, which I think is a type of funghi. .x

:kisses3: THATS IT!!! I saw loads of white flies on it, and when I have read up on this, it looks like it is caused from the mould growing on the sap caused by the aphids/white fly. Thank you :beer:

Pleased you found your way back to us Nannylala :T
Another one with bush problems here :eek: Mine is gooseberries. The fruits are still intact but a couple of days ago the leaves were completely stripped overnight. Would slugs do this? Surely it would be a bit prickly for them but no idea what else it could be.

As has been said, Saw fly. I had it for a couple of years, but sprayed it with a saw fly spray, then the year after, all was fine, make sure you get all over the plant and its base so none of the little blighters miss out. To be fair, dont know why I bothered, I dont even pick them, although really I should, but leave them, and the raspberry bushes growing in that part for the birds.

I saw a progamme where a man had this done, he couldnt hold a drink before, it was amazing:T:T and i hope it is for your friend x

Thanks bubbs.

He couldn't even put his debit card and pin number in the machine this morning, Mr TS had to do it for him. It's the first time in several years I have not seen him tapping his leg. Let alone that the hand shaking has stopped, it's really difficult as when I have seen him struggle in the past you just want to help but it takes away that independence.

Managed to get some Buds tonight 😁

Picked up about 50 Metro copies at the station late on the way home, but half the Tesco Expresses I went to were sold out, and the rest would only allow one coupon to be used 😣

You would have thought the shops would be only too pleased to shift more stock, considering they will get £6 per coupon. Never ceases to amaze me the stupidity of shops not wanting to sell their stock .

Only my local co-op was sensible enough to shift a few packs.

Shame, I still have loads of original coupons the expire at midnight 😢

Never Beaten on Price

If you can find exactly the same product cheaper within 24 hours of confirming your booking with Holiday Extras, we will match the price

Shame. Looks like I will just be travelling down on the day in October. I should have listened to people much cleverer (a word?) than myself who said I should have booked it. Cheers anyway, I have had one night free :beer:

Savvy not seen Don Valerio Fusilli (3Kg) is 50p on hduk

You usually bring them over, although I bet this is one that they haven't got:D.

Well it is - 50p in M!:)*

(Mind you they have the 12.5Kg Potatoes at £2 last week and I have not had a store with them. Just as well as I had to revert to Aldi's Everyday 5Kg:( at £1.99 on Tuesday so would not have wanted to find an M with 12.5Kg for me now:rotfl:. I think they are keeping their best offers to far fewer customers. It seems not many Ms have the potatoes now - indeed, I have found no stores with them - and I'm just going to assume that the product continues on £2 somewhere unknown to me, as it's now no longer available more widely it seems. If anyone knows any different, about the price perhaps, do let me know - or has anyone had any luck with this in their M? TIA. I've found stores with Walkers Crisps 30 box at £3, just one store on Monday and all three today, but that isn't very good:rotfl:. They went down to £2.49 before and, even then, my standards today are much stricter so even that can be beaten! This one is not going to get to the list, in case anyone thought I was ignoring it. I'm aware of the crisps - just v.expensive I'm afraid:rotfl:.)

*Obviously not in every store. Maybe I ought to say "available at 50p from M" (my emphasis) so as to imply available from somewhere within their 500+ stores, as it is available from them although nowhere near from every one of their stores. "In" M sort of seems to suggest it's "in" everyone's M - which I think is not the case! Best of luck to everyone on it, that wants it - and I do like to hear of successes too. I've had a hit - one store in eight. However, maybe this one was more of a lucky chance and perhaps that's just one store even if I were to do to far more than I have. I have had products in far fewer stores than this Don Valerio now though (at present - I mean I could find, if hypothetically I went to a further 20 stores, I may find it in none of them - so it would then be 1 in 28 - I just have the impression that my one out of eight is an over-representation on this occasion although of course I have no way of knowing - so I think this is a rarity even though it's taken me "only" 8 stores to find it once. Who knows if one of the five I had on Monday has it now though - when none did then. It could be in a strange place - the "usual" place in my store, for me, for the last few weeks has been the freezer aisle:rotfl: - it was in a container in one of those aisles but, in my store, has now been moved to an RTC shelf - although, in any other store, it could be physically just about anywhere in the store from my experience previously - not usually in the fresh pasta aisles at all - I've had it on an aisle end in a random place in two other stores before - but that when it was more common).
