That email address might be her paypal "account" too - you can make a "personal payment" on paypal - to an email address that is linked to a paypal account. Make sure you choose the right option as some of the "send friend some money" options have hefty charges, and I think the "pay for goods"...

MIght be worth having some temporary "wind protection" for any storms at this time of the year/ I'm thinking of a frame of some sort (reasonably stout to take the force of the wind) wrapped with some scaffolders debris netting to "reduce" the wind impact (I think that 50% netting will be better...

Bookmarked!

Just over the price of a gallon of paraffin then

Definitely the warmth, we used to start all our dahlia tubers in propagators. Val
