    Nanny Beach, can you access your account on line, and print the statement? Only £6.99, but very little for the GC / nursery to risk their reputation over. Do you still have the pot it came in? Any labels on that? Maybe they would be more cooperative, if you asked for an exchange, rather than a refund, but it’s disappointing that they are prepared to annoy a customer twice over.
    I bought some Christmas lights in our local garden centre one year, for the princely sum of £2.99, and as soon as I plugged them in, they failed, noisily. Took them back for a refund, with the receipt, and they’d would only give me a credit voucher. Needless to say, I didn’t go back in there for years, until they changed ownership. They lost a lot of business from me over £2.99, and I’m afraid I bad mouthed them to my friends as well!

    Hi folks posting from phone today as laptop is in for repair. Hubby has improved a lot according to his speech therapist. She will be coming in twice a week for the foreseeable. Finally sorted out the sofas after having a meltdown on the phone. The old ones have been collected today and new ones should come tomorrow fingers crossed  
    Hugs to @punkdoc hope you and yours are ok. Have a good day everyone

    I’d just take it back with the pots, and ask to see the manager. Preferably in a public area where other customers can hear you making your valid points politely and reasonably, and can hear any excuses made for mislabelling plants and putting you at considerable inconvenience!

    Yvie, I’m very pleased to hear that Hubby’s speech is improving. You must be relieved.

    We’ve had some rain tonight, but no sign of the violent weather yet. We’re packed up and gone to bed, so it’ll hopefully be a quiet night, not like they have predicted.  Night all.

    @Nanny Beach :)  this might be of interest  https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/croton/care-croton-plants.htm 

    Oh dear, poor George couldn't be re-gassed 'cos he has a leak in his condenser ... the nice man I bought him from is going to fit a new one ... he'll let me know when it arrives ... hopefully it'll be done before the heatwave this weekend ... a bit of a nuisance 'cos it means going back to S. Lincs ... but we can probably fit it in with a visit to MIL which will be lovely.   B) 

    Other news headlines ... OH won't be back until later than planned as his lovely manager is having gall bladder pain (she's waiting for an op) so he's told her to go home and he'll cover the rest of her shift and lock up.  We're having Rick Stein's Bolognese sausage ragu with tagliatelle for supper ... I've already made the ragu so when he appears I'll put the pasta in the water and supper will be ready by the time he's washed and changed.  Easy peasy.   :D

    You must be feeling re-assured @Yviestevie to have such good news.   Well done OH and the therapist too and all who've helped care for him.

    I am feeling got at.   Awake half the night with arthritic knee throbbing.   Dentist this morning to fit a new crown and finish a root canal thingy on a wisdom tooth that had become very sensitive to hot and cold.  Throbbing now.   Back in a month to start fixing 2 more t'other side.  Not fun.  3 sessions of knee infiltrations in July too.

    Vet this pm for annual doggy jabs.   Bonzo, for once, as calm as can be but Rasta was in proper old lady grotbag mode.   She did not approve of the thermometer, the stethoscope or jabs and hit the roof when the vet inspected her ears.   She's never liked people messing in her ears but there was one of those spiky foxtail things you get on wild barley.   Had to muzzle her to sort that out and now we have ear drops for a week.

    Funnily enough I did ask OH yesterday to go round and strim them all where they're growing round the ruin.   Couldn't really get there till now cos of the amount of barn roof panels and beams lying around. 

    Hope you get George sorted out OK @Dovefromabove.   I'm taking Sally up to Namur on Sunday to start packing up Possum's apartment so she'll be getting the full clean inside and out, roof box fitted and oil and other fluids checked.   I need to sort out CDs too.
