    Internet says it should be kept 18-24c ideally, will tolerate 15-26c. My massive one is in the kitchen-diner and I'd be surprised if that gets above 13c the majority of the year

    Well let me know if you change your mind, happy to send a wee cutting. Between me and @Cherryfudge we'll have your room all homely in no time 😊

    Obviously one shouldn't send animals in the post, but out of interest, why not plant cuttings? I didn't realise I may be causing posties aggro!

    So far I have delivered fish, worms and ants PiP.
    I don't know about cuttings as now I think on it they would go through most letterboxes (not all, we have some historical ones that just fit a box of playing cards). Plants and flowers tend to be quite annoying for various reasons. Usually that people aren't home to receive them and have nowhere safe to leave them. Especially on a Saturday when they have to be brought back to the depot and then someone gets a dead plant on Monday. They also have to be packaged for live conditions which once meant soil all over the van and everyone else's stuff.

    Thanks for the poem @Cherryfudge :)
    Are any of the fish, worms or ants living @WelshmansDaughter?

    Am feeling decidedly de trop this morning. Sister Act still sick but matters all arranged without any assistance from me required. Shouldn't really be put out as it means I am on my way for a coffee and pottering round Sainsbury's (no need for a swan dive PiP I haven't been food shopping this week) but as is the way of human emotions it stings a little. Albeit the sting is lessened by not having to take a crying nephew to nursery.
    Money wise 64usd has been spent this morning for my brother's birthday. 
    Signed up for the Spanish bank offer yesterday which will buy something in February lol. Possibly use the account for grocery spends to try and keep it better accounted for.

    Update: no coffee as bucks is closed for a plumbing situation. Again.

    Sounds like a 2 teabag situation to me...
