ooo free postage fly2hi. I''ll take 6 boxes please

As it is free postage What else can we buy

If i need to have a fire sale to get the stock down, i'll be listing loads of stuff!

You should think about what you need to get rid of and list here or ebay you never know one mans flesh is anothers pleasure

I tried doing a hand tie for my mum last week.

We have only practiced it the one time at college, I dont think it's an assesment, quite odd really as they seem very popular.

Mine didn't look very round and I wasn't pleased with the end result at all, but of course mum was very polite

Hurts your wrist after a while, and I too found at one stage I'd tied it so tight that I was breaking the stems, poor flowers had been mis-handled so much by the time I'd done.

I definately need alot more practice

Does anyone need about 25,000 flower pots?
I used to think that when i retired i would grow things from cuttings so i kept all the empty flower pots in a big pile (now a mountain)down the garden. Now it looks like that's not going to happen (not here at least) and i think what a waste of plastic. Suppose it's a bit like yoghurt pots & margarine tubs?

Maybe a garden centre or a club old people/deaf club/special needs club/school or similar might be happy to have them I tend to squirrel things away and dread to think what I would do if I ever decide to move went away for a girls week the past 2yrs and hubby had a large skip both times so far I haven't needed whatever he dumped but who knows the day I will go to look for it

Likewise..wife is direct opposite to me. If we haven't used it in the last 24 hours...out it goes. I'd hate to think what the place would look like if we were both collectors. 'Steptoe and son?'

Belinda, keep practicing the hand-tied. I made up another last night and it was much better (although far from perfect).

Fly2hi,

I'll try to remember to write a cheque out tonight and pop it in the post to you. I'll let you know when it is on the way. I got your address from your website. Thanks for the offer of free postage! :-)

Cheers
