Me either, Caroline.  Not by the time we get the kids up and ready, and OH takes youngest to school.

That cold frame looks quite good - in the photo at least.  :)

do they do this at every B&Q store or is it just select stores?

Far as I know it's every B&Q.  But probably worth ringing first if you're making a special trip, because I have read complaints on previous offers that stock can be a bit bitty.

OH has just expressed an interest in the chain saw!  :o  Me, I'm not so keen.

RIGHT - Rang my local B&Q and the nice lady there said it's DEFINITELY tomorrow. 

As you were chaps!  ;D

And I just tried to report this thread to Dan to ask him to change the title back to Friday - I seem to have run out of editing time.  The system very sniffily told me that I couldn't report my own post, because that doesn't make sense!  ;D

I bought some half price seed potatoes.  ;D

They had potatoes and onions/shallots on sale at half price, as well as various packs of flower bulbs/tubers.
