  • Accidental bonus

    Went to a big DIY shed place today to buy some plastic roofing to use as lights for my new coldframe. I need 1 1/2 sheets of the stuff, and so bought 2 sheets. Got home only to discover that Mr T had picked up 2 lots of 2 (ie 4!!)
    We may have to stop going to that shop as we alsways seem to come out with rather more than we have paid for.

    What do I make with my bonus 2 sheets of 2m x 1m wriggly plastic sheeting now??

    We`re like that at Argos. We went in for a bag once they gave us a bag of 6 and also went in for some printer paper we came out with a box of 4. Bargin.
    You could make 2 coldframes.

        Your right there. And if it did they would want it back.

            That's OK cause interest rates are rubbish at the moment, chances are they might have to pay you the difference!!

                Boble, this is what I have.

                It is quite flimsy, but with a frame it should do the trick.

                I think another coldframe with a clear front too is calling me.........................

                      I went to a DIY store that was shutting down that day and bought an 8 x 6 greenhouse for £90. Decided I wanted two lots of staging as they were also reduced, along with some other bargains that I'll probably NEVER use. Next day cleaning out my purse of receipts (as us ladies do from time to time!) and on checking realised they hadn't charged me for staging - so bargain turned to bloomin great big fat bargain - I would have gone back (honest!) but they'd shut down by then - well that's my story and I'm sticking to it - still smile at my bargains when I walk in my greenhouse!

                        That was exactly what I thought after I had carried down to the plot. I shall put a half row each of peas and broad beans under one each.

                          Do you believe in feng shui?

                          Life is about balance and tests, I personally would take it back, my instructor always used to say to me, whatever you give away you will recieve back 10 fold.

                          My conscience would probably get the better of me, so I'd more than likely donate it somewhere if I couldn't return it.
                          I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.
