    Thanks Guys, I still have to hit the big orange shed yet, there's always bargains if you go out of season, xmas cards in january for next year. been to woolies this morning, spent £13 on special cards, they were half price but still expensive, ive heard wilkies cards are half price :( wish i knew earlier :)
    Hay Inter, I very rarely pay full price for my garden stuff, I have already bought Water retaining gel, food pellets, Seed Trays, Slug pellets and loads of things iv'e forgot about for next year from Wilkies 70% off end of summer, hahahaha..Oooh and some Daliah's for Free. Wink Wink..

    I love shopping for plants in winter. So many people think they are dead, so the garden centres reduce them by silly amounts. Love a bargain.
