I'd say it's about £30 - all the better if it's more Gee - when do we get the answer ???

My son still puts his €2 coins in an old fabric conditioner bottle. He got over €300 and hadn't even filled it .... it was intended for a rainy day, but somehow it poured and he NEEDED it for that not-to-be missed holiday in Barcelona !!

Hi everyone, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. No, I have been out spending the booty. I had a new little shed delivered and my family have been round erecting it and putting in a base for it. Today it's a lovely day, warm and sunny, so the shed is now painted, the grass cut and some little plants that had to moved to make room for the shed have now been replanted :)

Back to the booty! The first time I emptied it out there was £27.40 and that has sat on the side in bags. The most recent emptying amounted to £28.20 so a total of £55.60. I will certainly be buying my mahonia 'Como Crawl' - I just hope there are some left! The rest will pay for the plants now ordered from Thompson-Morgan, 2 x buddlea 'buzz', 2 x late flowering clematis and a Fuchsia Lady Boothby. They are being delivered at the end of the month. What a clever lots you are, obviously a lot of experts on 20p's :)

Hope you've all had as lovely an Easter weekend as I have.

I'm thrilled to bits, Holly, and I've still some vouchers left from Mothers Day :)
I need to replace a couple of pots that have been frost damaged.

6 Apr, 2010

6 Apr, 2010

 

Didn't the boot do well, did you buy your plant in the end ?

21 Apr, 2010

 

Not yet, DD2, I am getting a bit anxious about it as the garden centre only had about 6 last time I went. Unfortunately I can't get there under my own steam so am waiting for the family to venture that way :)

21 Apr, 2010
