  • Morning :) having to revise my wombling total up :) as searched and searched for the pug strawberry plant variety I have been given and if I had bought them in the quantity I have been given they would have cost £105 :j doing some research these are heavy yield strawberries and each plant producing 1.2 kgs of fruit. I have 44 of them :rotfl: so that is 52kgs. To put into context I weigh 58! We'll all have a red hue by the end of the season :rotfl:

    dd bought round some bits for our meal yesterday cream, stuffing, flour & crisps for dgd. Ds bought me some flower pots. I had asked him if he had any big catering containers I could have for planting in and he interpreted that as I'm too poor to buy them :rotfl: bless he doesn't get my passion for recycling and living on next to nothing! He got me 12. Not sure what they cost but I'll conservatively claim £5

    total for yesterday £87.71 :T (would be more but I already counted £27 for the strawberry plants) :D
