    cheers for that, might take a trip out there sometime, i love going new places
    I know where you mean, I think. Near where Magnet was/is? Near the Wacky Warehouse?

      yes. magnet. but there's no(and never has been, i don't think) a wacky warehouse there though. it's a travelodge/travel inn though, yep. so you're on the right road, so to speak

        right. i went to morrisons and got some buckets (11 for 99p) so i shall see if i can stretch to a grow bag this week, and *try* working it out

        thanks!

          No, you're right it wasn't WackyW, it was Brewster Bear or something like that. Definately a ball pool type thing though - my daughter had a birthday party there a few years ago
          I'll have to have a drive out to the Homebase for a nosey though, especially if they have a garden bit

              they do. and it's MASSIVE!

              loads of plug plants they had. when i went for a quick shufty a couple of weeks ago. but i had no money then. i hate that

              yeah, they do have the kids bit.


              you ARE, lottiedolly. i love asda, we're getting one within a couple of years. 2 mins from my front door. can't wait!

              i'll then have 3 supermarkets within 5 mins walking distance!

              (not including iceland, aldi's and nettos!)
