Oops! I went for cheese again!!

58 comments


Yes, GoYs I did it again!!
I went to big M on my way to the doc (I blame him, you know!) to get some goat’s cheese, & got hijacked on the way in by the plants!!!
So I came out of there with a Jasmine officinale, a Clematis Hagley Hybrid (a lovely pink!) a Spirea Gold Flame, a Photinia Red Robin, a white Azalea, & a tub of violas!
Oh! I DID get the goats cheese tho!
After the doc (who laughed when he saw me & said I’d better not be there about my back)
I went to Homebase for some paint (more on that another day!) & came out with the paint, two trays of mixed pansies for 75p each, & 2 fuschia hanging baskets for £1.99 each!
Here we are!!

I worked it out & the plants came to £16 in all!
Dear cheese, but………..!

Bargainous, Marie!!!! I love Spirea Gold Flame, it's a real 'workhorse' and so easy....lovely colours most of the year, too!

You're right, it was a very dear cheese but look at all the 'freebies' that came with it!

Happy Planting!

Nice to 'see' you Bscott!
I think you'd better give up cheese Marie, then you wouldn't get tempted....but.....life is no fun without temptation is it.....and even more fun when you give in! LOL. It looks like bargain cheese to me - all those free gifts with it. Happy planting :o)))

By big M do you mean Big Mac ? Does that mean something different in Scotland ?

24 Sep, 2009

 

Lol, B, it was quite good! Didnt have the guts to tell the doc my back IS out! LOL!
Hee hee, Lily! I MUST have my goats cheese! Anyway the plants were so cheap, & I took full advantage of the multibuy offers in Morrison's!! 99p for the violas, & the pot is packed! Might get more on the way home tomorrow!!

24 Sep, 2009

 

I meant Morrison's! As for it meaning something different, I suppose it'd depend who you're asking, lol! Try asking macrimmon that question!!!!

24 Sep, 2009

 

great bargains mari, happy planting, watch that back to :o)

24 Sep, 2009

 

Ach, it'll be fine! Just a loose disc!

24 Sep, 2009

 

Oh sorry lol .. confession time a customer bought a pear tree in a bag from Morrisons nothing more than a twig for £1.20 ..oh well I ll give it a go not expecting much ..

3 years on its fruiting well and she never lets me forget it ..

24 Sep, 2009

 

Its obviously not safe for you to go out with your purse Madperth, lol. Some real bargains there.

24 Sep, 2009

 

Nope! I'm hopeless with money! I think I should just carry on leaving it in the fridge! But I got some great plants, & I'm not due back at the doc for another 6 weeks!Lol!

24 Sep, 2009

 

So you hide your money in the fridge Mad, ha ha, we all know now.
I agree, the plants are great and good news that the Doc doesnt need to see you for 6 weeks.

24 Sep, 2009

 

I usd to hide any spare cash in the fridge. Don't have any now, the garden centre's looking after it for me....lol

24 Sep, 2009

 

No, I dont HIDE it in the fridge! I went off to my first day at uni without my lunch or my purse, & when i got home, I found the purse with my lunch in the fridge!! :~}
Yes, I was pleased, tho he's nice! I'll bet HE was relieved!!

24 Sep, 2009

 

Brilliant haul! You must have looked like a mobile plant shop carrying that lot home, great selection you've got there!

24 Sep, 2009

 

Morrison's plant are really good quality & value...I'm always popping in for milk & coming out with clematis!

24 Sep, 2009

 

Ha ha Lily & Madperth, you make me smile :-)

24 Sep, 2009

 

Perhaps they shouldn't put the milk next to the clematis on the shelf?

24 Sep, 2009

 

Ha ha Andrew

24 Sep, 2009

 

Jen, I had to go to the doc with the first lot!! I ended up getting a taxi home!!!
Me too Fluff!
LOL Dawn!
Andrew, I know, its VERY distracting!
Eeeeeeeeeeww! That was outbox message no. 6660!! Spooky!

24 Sep, 2009

 

Now they've all got to be set, lol

24 Sep, 2009

 

Yes, but it was nearly dark when I got home so planting will need to wait til tomorrow!

24 Sep, 2009

 

Good luck tomorrow with the setting Mad :-)

24 Sep, 2009

 

Andrew...what are you saying??! The milk is miles away from the clematis silly...BUT you have to pass the plants to get to the dairy section...d'you see my predicament?!!!

24 Sep, 2009

 

Perhaps the could sell Bread and Milk in Garden Centres...less petrol!

24 Sep, 2009

 

Exactly, Fluff, you have to pass the plants to get ANYWHERE!! Its most distracting, isnt it??
Thanks Dawn! Havent worked out where theyre going yet!!
Good idea Jen!

24 Sep, 2009

25 Sep, 2009

 

Do you know, I used to do the falling asleep on the bus routine but unlike you I used to wake up about two stops after mine. :~((

25 Sep, 2009

 

LOL! I dont usually, but Ive felt tired all day! :~(

25 Sep, 2009

 

Well two stops after mine there was a roundabout and it was known as kamikaze island.

25 Sep, 2009

 

Not so good! Did you stay on & go round again??

25 Sep, 2009

 

No the next stop was the bus station, about 15 miles away. It was a case of get off and walk! :~((

25 Sep, 2009

 

NOT good!! Thankfully I woke up, as I had another bus to get to go home!! I get 3 each way!

25 Sep, 2009

 

That's a bug ......... that's a bit rough, at least I had a chance.
After a while the bus driver used to call out the stop. (to wake me up) Lol

26 Sep, 2009

 

Lol! When I've been on sleepover shifts the local drivers know to shout me!!
