Most of the garden stuff has already been cleared out of our Tesco, I did notice they had some of the 'kids' gardening stuff on offer though including very nice wooden paper pot makers for £2.50 & I got some new secateurs for £1.50. They also had a few very pretty metal garden table & 2 chair sets in cream reduced from £50 to £13, I would have got one if I had anywhere to put it!

I got some fantastic stuff about a month ago. 30 petunias reduced to £3 and a hanging basket for £8. The basket recovered very well after watering and feeding and has been giving me pleasure (oo er!) for about 3 weeks, now! Wot a bargain!

Today Tesco had posh weeders for a pound, camping kettles (good for shed) £3, various other bits n bobs that aren't selling in this cr@ppy weather.

I got a kiddy Trampoline for £25 and a little paddle pool for £2.50.
