Better than spinach to grow as it does nt bolt and does nt go to seed.

Hubby did just repaint our bathroom in the same color used previously. Fortunate for me, I still like the color; fortunate for the budget, the leftovers from previous job were just enough for this one!Dmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689601569495984413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-39375854311093223632011-04-08T23:15:56.540+01:002011-04-08T23:15:56.540+01:00Lidl offer waterproof bicycle panniers from time t...Lidl offer waterproof bicycle panniers from time to time, with a roll over top and you can just fill them up and up and not bother to roll the top over!

The fruit can be particularly good! We like the Mayonnaise too. Prices can fluctuate, so watch that too!<br /><br />Lidl is good, but as with any shop you need to look at what you are getting. Porridge Oats are a good price. I don't like the quality of their spuds, but a lot of their fruit and veg is very good and they often have offers on some nice cheese. Their bike stuff is decent quality and price. The German brands there are worth trying-much less nasty additives!!gzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-60088238418939828892011-04-08T21:49:14.954+01:002011-04-08T21:49:14.954+01:00what a brilliant idea painting your bike red.

I have just taste tested the cheapest instant custard from Tesco, Morrisons, Asda and Sainsburys and that was my favorite. I am lucky to have all the big supermarkets within an easy bus ride so I cherry pick the best bargains from each of them. <br />Looking forward to seeing the bike pics.Eileen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058734816956598681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-8534119235312892252011-04-08T20:28:30.528+01:002011-04-08T20:28:30.528+01:00Can't wait to see your bike when its finished....Can't wait to see your bike when its finished.<br /><br />Seems like you are really motivated to get your Scotland trip paid for.<br /><br />sft xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545087114808861192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-68299390740472190522011-04-08T20:12:52.102+01:002011-04-08T20:12:52.102+01:00There might be a chance for wing mirrors if you jo...There might be a chance for wing mirrors if you join your local Freecycle site and advertise that you`re looking for some.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-74522251145178814422011-04-08T19:58:23.791+01:002011-04-08T19:58:23.791+01:00Thanks me dear, don't mind if you do.
