Mikey's Buckit Saga continues ....

visited 'Sunny Scunny' (Scunthorpe) yesterday for planning meeting with Head Gardener Jack  ;D

There is a huge Morrison's store on the Eastern A18 entry to the town ....  so, thought pop in and get a few more Buckits (remembering how hepful the Lad was in Morrison's Lincoln)

Aaaaaaaagh foiled, their flowers are in small square Buckits about 6 inch square at the top.

Next time we are in Lincoln ..............

i was positive i'd answered you mikey but obviously not ....... blame the alzheimers on the age as well as the early rising.

trouble is, once i'm coming to, my mind starts kicking in and i just CAN'T get back to sleep.  as long as i've had a few good hours deep sleep, that's me awake.  ruddy nuisance if her upstairs or them next door start their antics at silly o'clock.  mind you, i crash out about about 10pm  8)

indeed, dawn has just about broken at that time of the morning and the birdies come out to play not long after.

I had a call last night from the nice lady (MO) at Asda. She had been saving me the flower BUCKITS for a week. When I got there I was surprised when the chap wheeled out a huge trolley full. I counted them up today (between showers) and they gave me 158  :o. All different shapes and sizes. I'm thrilled. Will be more than enough for several summers to come.
I will be planting several with different herbs to give to family and friends.
Thanks for the tip off that they were available free. I would never have known, just like the chaps IN Asda...They didn't know either.
Lauren  :)

[MrsKP]

I'd say you got a result !  Well done you.  Well done ASDA !

 ;D

I asked my daughter to get me some last year after I'd got some myself from asda and they charged her. My Tony goes into the local Tesco garage almost every day for bread and such and has got quite friendly with the young women in there. One of them was taking a bucket through to the back and when he asked what she was gonna do with it "throw it away" she said. He told her to throw it his way. She did no more than empty another 2 and gave him them. Also said she would be saving them for him. Hope he don't come back with 158 of the buggers though. lol ::)
