Well, can always find a use :-)

I went into HomeBase to buy a light bulb and came out with two olive
trees.
They were originally £19.99 each for a tall twig with a few small
branches
at the top, which was a bit pricey.
However at £4.99 each they somehow levitated into my shopping trolley.

Of course, we already have a well established olive tree in a large pot
with a good crop of small green olives.
However we are planning to hard landscape most of the back garden so
there
is always room for another pot, and there is the allotment, and there
are
friends who don't have an olive tree yet.

However I absolutely did not set out to buy an olive tree, let alone
two.

Oh, I did get the light bulb.

Cheers

I went into the garage for petrol and came out with 12 pints of milk as
well.

Does that count?

Mike
It depends on whether or not you were intending to bath in milk!

I don't need to, I have that radiant beauty already ;-)

The milk had been somewhere in the region of £1.45 for a 4 pinter but they
were doing an offer of £3.00 for 3 x 4 pinters. That was on a par with Liddl
so ............................. ;-)
