So i go on holiday the end of next week, and theres no one i trust to look after my seedings. Ive got loads of bits that can probably go out over the allotment, but its still too cold for things like the tomatoes, cucumbers etc. If i got some pop bottles, or 4pint milk bottles, put some teeny pin holes in the bottom of them, and stood the plants and bottles on some capillary matting in a tray, would this be enough for a week?

Capillary matting is great, and what you are suggesting might work although I think the milk bottles would probably empty quite quickly. How long it would stay wet for would depend a lot on how warm the room was that you had the plants in and also how big the plants are. Its very hard to say whether it would be adequate or not. You might be better putting the plants on matting trailing into a washing up bowl full of water - just make sure that the water level in the bowl is below the level of the matting otherwise the bowl will quickly empty and you will have a flood!A life is like a garden.
