Hmm I think coupons/vouchers are an area I need to consider this spring! Good idea and great savings! :beer:

A year ago I moved 5 plants in my garden. They were badly positioned - 3 were starved of light in summer as they were under a tree and 2 were being crowded out. Anyhoo, they are all still alive and thriving :T - getting lots of new growth on them this spring. Chuffed as this is very money saving, as plants are expensive, but it seemed like a risk to move them as they might have died.

When MSE was down at the weekend I worked on the garden. Made 3 hanging baskets using bought bedding plants from homebase - at a cost of just £4 each:T:D Chuffed 'cos they look as good as shop bought. 3 of my other hanging baskets survived the winter in tact. They are filled with conifers, ivy and spring flowering heather. Filled up my pots with bedding plants, so my patio is looking lovely...

but......... I have (and my youngest ) really bad hayfever at the moment

Kind Regards

Poor SMF2, do tablets not help?

Well done on getting the hanging baskets done!

When things get really bad - nothing helps. It's the beautiful blossom on the trees that does it:rolleyes:....it's sooooo beautiful too

Hope the hayfever gets better for you both x

Can you get local honey from your area? This will include the pollen from the flora in the locality and it may over time help your body to adjust (or is it only a myth?)

Hi SMF2.. Hope both of you are better soon

I have also been thinking of making my own baskets this year... but just thinking if it will prove to be more expensive than the shop bought one as you need a different compost for it and also will have to buy plants...

Also I am generally rubbish with Gardening. :rolleyes: Though I think will give it a try.

It was one of my new year's resolutions to try and use more coupons, points, vouchers etc. This is how I've been doing:-

Savings made since Jan 1st 2009:-

Boots £76.14 (points used & coupons - does not include 3 for 2 deals)
Hairdressers £36.60 (local-me and kids- vouchers)
Homebase £21.23 (15% off voucher)
Body Shop £9.96 (10% off card)
Sainsburys £3.25 (coupons)
WH Smith £1.84

TOTAL Saving £149.02 in three months:j

Excellent progress so far!

With your stash you can still look forward to more savings in the months to come.
