I've been buying little and often which is a pain in the ar*e but easier cos I'm new. Tend not to end up up with much. Also cos I'm by two bars I can barter bouquets for sarnies and coffees which is a good way to get rid of the crap andnot have to raid the till! (not paying myself yet)

I always find callas last longer if you only put a couple of inches of water in.
