    I hope they're comfyier (sp?) than they look? Very Germanic/Heidi I thought the picture looked!

        I haven't seen Mr OWG since yesterday morning, so haven't had chance to try them on!

        I'll try and get a picture of them tonight, and report on their wearability.....

            So do Lidl (or anywhere else for that matter) sell a seriously cheap crab apple-tree? I've just seen photos of one which someone bonsai'd. Gorgeous - got to have a go.

              I ruined a brand new pair of jeans with just a little bit of mud (not even Vanish will shift it ... I think Cillit B@ng would just dissolve them).
              I got a pair of Gap denim dungies from Oxfam which are the bees knees (and a bit trendier than the Lidl Heidi ones). And a floral Cath Kidston style pinny to go over regular clothes if i don't have my dungies on (vanity on an allotment, I ask you)

                Please ignore the above, I've just spoken to a bonsai expert and to grow a crab apple in this form requires cuttings as commercial trees are grafted.

                  I must point out to prevent disapointment to the male element...you just get the trousers...

                  I purchased a pair and had on hell of a row with the manager.....

                  But he relented and let me have the Polish girl of the till for an extra £10.

                  So my digging is sorted this season.

                    £39.99 to buy, £40.00 to rent for one day. However, the Lidl thingy is electric, not much help on an allotment with no leccy. Having said that my son (leccytrician) says he can get me a (silentish) generator to run it. So do I trust my son to get the generator ( have to say he's a typical unreliable artisan) or do I just accept that I have to dig the lotty .
