Title: B&Q shopping spree!
Post by: timelady on February 06, 2007, 21:56:45
Finally got to spend my B&Q gift certificates. ;D Such fun! I went a bit over the £50 I was given, spent £68 in all but really pleased. Some Wilkinson Sword loppers for the ongoing bramble extermination (£30 of the total!), trowel, really cute double-sided hand hoe (hey cuteness is important right?), paint to put pictures on the shed when it's built, zip ties, a rose bush, 2 kinds of potatoes, red onion bulbs, and lots and lots of seeds. No specials or sale stuff, but some of the multi seed packs were good value since I just wanted lots of basics anyway. getting it home on the bike was half the fun.

Now why is it going to snow tomorrow?  :-[ I wasn't even wearing a jacket on Sunday!

Yes, it was a bit wobbly coming home. I'd forgotten that my seat-post rack was only supposed to hold 9kg. Ah well, made it anyway! Showed off my loppers today. :)

I got two gooseberry plants from them last year, and they both grew well over the summer and are now at the lottie! ;D
