Form an Orderly Queue for your 12" Wicker Hanging Baskets

[rayj]

Just popped into my local Wilkinsons Store today (and my name isn't Lynda66)!! On offer were the Hanging Baskets which were reduced from £2.99 to 50 pence. So as not to show my lack of appreciation, I purchased a dozen (well the lady at the Till charged me for 13 or so I found when I left the Store and checked the Receipt - thinking 13 may have been unlucky I just "bit my tongue" and didn't query it!!
So if anyone needs Wicker Hangers you know where to go. I actually needed more baskets for my Giant Trailing Begonias, as my Winter Pansies are still blooming away and occupying my existing baskets so I didn't want to disrupt them to make way for the Begonias.
Just waiting for the wife to come home and say "what did you buy more of those for"? Mind you I will be disappointed now if she doesn't say that.

Oooooh - hope my local store has them when I go on Thursday. Thanks for the heads up!

Plant a load up and flog them. You should get £10 each for them.

I should have bought a load of plants from Gardening Direct when they were offering up to 60% off some varieties of plants and free P&P (well more plants than I did order when I took advantage of their offer). Would have been close to earning my first million NOG!
I think the baskets they are selling off may have begun as part of a "15 piece Hanging Basket Kit that possibly included plants/seeds".
As is always the case - I only went in to buy a roll of cellotape!!
My wife disappointed me when she returned home - she didn't say "what did you buy more hanging baskets for?" - she said "how much did you get those for - 50p?""

Have you not learnt yet rayj - women are psychic

[rayj]

Sorry MagicLady, but I'm still learning - married 34 years - have only known her from her first day at school 51 years ago!!

[MagicLady]

LOL!

Well, went into my local Wilkinsons today, but no 50p baskets Oh well, such is life!

That is why bargins are so great....its fun when you find one.

[kate&rob]

but sickening when you know you've missed out!!!

[rayj]

Well I wasn't dreaming - cos I got them all planted up and ready to replace my hangers with the Winter Pansies in!! Couldn't have bought the chains for hanging baskets for 50pence each!!

[NOG]

I thought that I was winning with getting mine at £2...

They were still £2.99 at our local Wilkos yesterday.
