    To be 10% cheaper Asda needed to be:

    Compared to the 10% cheaper price

    Do you ever get these lovely photos put on canvas for your home? They would look amazing. We have one in our lounge from one of our holidays and I love it. Really struggle to find nice pictures but these can look really tasteful

    Hiya matty
    The sunset one was taken from the balcony of our friend's house, lucky devils to wake up to that every morning. DH had it put onto a canvas as a gift for them, and they were delighted.
    Jealous over your 10p plants. I have to do my garden when I get back. Need to get it up to last year's standard, lol.

    Oh gocat...sorry to hear this news:o

    But the respite might help you out a little and she will be cared for so well:A
    Thanks. Even mum seems to have resigned herself to the fact that we need more help whereas she was refusing to have anyone in before. Seems like she has given up. Just seems to stare into space or sleeping. :(
