    For Star Gaze lily.

    My first  deep rootrainers didn't have a lid. The new ones , I paid less for and do have a lid. Its possible there are both knocking around. As these are going to be in there a long time, I suppose the lid will stop them drying out as fast, but I dont think its vital.

    Well thanks to my friends on here I hope that my courgettes will be happier now image

    I know KEF, I'll have a whole new family as he has 4 children too, my boys get on really well with his youngest which is great.

    Thanks for the sweet pea tips, I am assuming they will let me take them into the hospital, will be gutted if they don't.

    Lesley, nails I am just doing myself, don't like falsies as I'm not use to them...may have to get the scrubbing brush on them though!  Hair, we are booked in at 9am and make up lady is coming to the hotel about 11 I think......so so excited image
