Post by: silly billy on October 22, 2007, 10:20:44: I managed to get 6 bags of chippings which I put down yesterday.I also got a blower to give to a relative.One of the workers at b n q in Guildford said they had 350 greenhouses in and sold the last one at 8.30 am he said there was a line of people waiting outside the store before the 7am opening.

Post by: tabbycat on October 22, 2007, 14:47:15: I was idly chatting to my DH about the greenhouses and saying that although I really wanted one, there wasn't any point in me going over to Guildford after I finished work at lunchtime as they'd all be gone.

I didn't think he was really listening, but the next morning he sent me a text saying he'd got the last one at the Leatherhead store - this was at 7.30 in the morning!

A surprise B&Q greenhouse :D - and they say romance is dead ;D

It's possible - he oversees the building of supermarkets and the premises of a popular Scandinavian furniture retailer (and even B&Q, now I think about), so there's no shortage of strapping young men with toolbelts that he could send round ;)

It's not going to happen though ;D
