    Glad it worked for you SA, it's so much easier than pulling them up or weedkiller :).

  • Wow you've had a really busy day today SA! You've got rhrough loads and well done on the clothes decluttering. I got the last payout yesterday from the dress agency where I took my unwanted summer stuff. You've reminded me that the next phase will be sorting out the unwanted Autumn/Winter clothes - when I pull them out from under the bed!

    It's worth a try Buffy. Was good to see the weeds literally wither immediately.

    Forgot to say locally a massive sink hole opened up today due to burst water main. Fortunately we weren't affected as thousands were without water in the area apparently. We are right on top of a hill so the only way is down from us. It's a regular occurrence in our area unfortunately not sure if it's because it's extremely hilly.

    Also forgot to say I'm still within budgets for the end of the four week period - just!! Just got to get through this week then the new budget starts a week tomorrow.
