Yep, our local Woolies is turfing (no pun intended) out loads of stuff! There was so much on offer I began to wonder if the place was closing down!  :-\

Looked at your blog.  Lovely allotment.  I agree, time flies at the allotment.  Not enough hours in the day.  Wish I had done it when I was younger but had to work and bring up children.

Yep borlotti time flies but then that's also the nice thing sometimes, I love getting lost in time at the plot! It makes ou forget worries or other things. I think the comment about liking the blog was about mine, so I will say thank you!  ;D 

I do agree too with amazin about the fact that they may actually be closing. Every time I go into our local Woolies it feels like it's on a slippery slope.

Silly? SILLY???

I'll have you know it's a highly accurate representation of my skills on the dancefloor.  HRRUMPH!

I got it from one of those free emoticon websites (I'll look it up for you).

Free Emoticon? Sounds like a campaign slogan...

I went into Woolies yesterday and got the peat pots. I also got 2 packs of Swell Gel at 25p each and a couple of packs of miracle grow plant food, you know the ones which are stuck together in a cone shape to go in hanging baskets, they were supposed to be £3.99 per pack but got them for 99p per pack.
