For the gardening peeps - I've seen a post on Facebook where several people in different parts of the country have bought spades, shovels, forks and rakes for 20-25p each this is in wilkinsons

Shovels have yellow handles and the others have brown wooden handles. The rakes in the pics are the leaf rake, triangle type, not the regular type. I've done a quick search on hot deals but nothing there.

Me and MG are checking it out tomorrow. The spades, forks and rakes were £2.50 on Monday

Still 2.50 here. Got a few earlier on in the week, were 15.00 each. 5 yr guarantee with them. I think that the yellow ones were the 'value' type.

They were not with the other forks etc. I asked a sa which were going through at 2.50, expecting an 'I don't know', instead she said that she'd show me. They were all in the sale section, away from the other stock. Details were on AL last week.

Wow what a day of mixed emotions today but all for good reasons I have been anxious ,nervous,impatient,nervous happy and happy sad my ds went of to London today to the camp America job fair and got placed and is going to have the most amazing summer

My friends' ds did this a few years ago and absolutely loved it. iirc there is a little loophole that allows them to stay on after camp has finished so that they can have a holiday afterwards. Usually staying with people that they have met there, so is very mse.
