the betterhalf wants me to plant some sweetpeas is it to late

You could sow some seed, they will grow but the flowers will be late. You may be able to buy some plants to put in - try your local market.

i got some half price in homebase they are quite big and have doubled in size in a week, i only decided i wanted some after i'd seen some on the lottie and it was too late to plant seeds

Hi - I actually don't think it's too late. I poke in sweet peas seeds all over the place until the end of May - did last year and they were fine. If the sun keeps up the good work then they'll fire away no problem! I'm growing a sweet pea tower and only planted that a week ago. You could also try Sugar and Spice - a hanging basket variety that grew quickly for me but not quite as stunning bloom-wise. "Miss Wilmot" is my fave this year and good old Matacuna!
