    Could it be your circuit board being sensitive to something outside? Maybe the electricity generator switching over to a backup as a test or for routine maintenance? I can only suggest contacting your supplier if there's nothing in your house that could be causing it and nothing wrong with your RCD board.

    Crikey Liriodendron that could be a nuisance if you had a full freezer and were going on holiday.

    Something is causing our sockets to trip every Sunday at 11pm.  I'm blowed if I can find the reason for it...
    I wonder if it's a timer or clock on something? Set to BST so it resets or triggers something at midnight at the start of the week?

    Same for me @Fairygirl .... an 80 mile round trip for a couple of bags of Sylvagrow is not going to happen.
    I also can't find a sensible price for the Levington Advance product that @raisingirl suggested was good.

    So I might buy some of the Miraclegrow stuff you've bought, and add some of my own compost to give it a bit of heft.

    Thank Anoia for this good drying weather. Sun and a dry easterly breeze. I've got nappies strung up in the greenhouse to speed them along a bit but I'd be knackered if it was raining right now.

    I got it in B&Q @Bee witched, and they had the other stuff New Horizon [?] which was the same price. Can't remember why I chose the M.Gro one. The stack was probably smaller so I could reach it more easily  ;)
    £7 for a 50L bag, but all compost seems horrific now, price wise.

    Is it dreadful @Bee witched? Other people seem to like it. I've never used any peat free stuff - always Jack's Magic for pots and 'proper' planting, or bog standard B&Q stuff if I'm just needing stuff to fill a border or similar, and it doesn't really matter what goes in initially. 
    I just looked at the price/size on B&Q and there seems to be a N.Horizon which is £6 - same size etc, but it's marked as for Veg, rather than M.Purpose. I wonder what the difference really is.  :/

    It's probably like the branded ibuprofen , one of which says it's for headaches, another for backache and they're exactly the same as each other and no better than the bog standard generics
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I must admit I was struggling to think of any good reason why they'd be terribly different @B3. Maybe because they add food to the standard one, but surely you'd want some extra nutrition for veg too?  :/
    I've never bought branded ibuprofen, or certainly not in the last thirty years or so, so I can't say I've ever noticed what the packaging has on it  ;)
