Flowers and Makes!


I previously mentioned I had got rid of loads of books and magazines on freecycle.  On the off chance the other day I emailed the same lady who came the first time if she would like the last few magazines and books.  She was happy to take the books, she turned up on my doorstep in the pouring rain with these beautiful Dahlias as a thank you for the books.


Whilst shopping in Morrison's the other day, I was wondering aimlessly whilst Alex went to have a look on the bargain stall, he came towards me with this in his arms.  A three foot Orchid.  Reduced from £10 to the grand some of 20p - yes you read it correctly twenty pence!

The makes are here and there are few more items in my shop

    Lucky you! What a bargain that plant was and how lovely that the lady gave you some flowers in exchange for the mags.

    How lovely that the lady gave you flowers in exchange for the books. It seems the orchid must have been priced wrongly? I think it probably was going to be reduced to £2.00 but they made a mistake. Lucky you!!! x

    I would never have thought of getting rid of magazines that way. I do usually take them in to work for the staff to browse through and then they go in the patients waiting room so at least they dont just get put in the recycle bin.

    Brilliant Orchid, I often look at the plants in Morrisons to see if there are any bargains. Lovely flowers too.

    Wow - what a score! One of my daughters and I managed to get a cheap orchid the other day because someone had stolen its pot - it wasn't 20p though!

    I shop in Morrisons too and have had some bargains, but nothing as good as your 20p orchid! Hope it's thriving :-) xx
