One liter of Rustins Danish Oil. To be accurate, the insurance company did.

The oak sills and various other bits I ordered arrived today….absolutely beautiful, lovely timber, well machined…and it smells glorious.

Decided to take a chance and buy some stuff in bulk from a janitorial supplier…5l shower gel, 5l washing up liquid and a few other bits to make the order up for free p&p. Ridiculously cheap, £6ish delivered for gel and same for washing up stuff, no idea if it is going to be any good but worth a punt.

Think the gel is the stuff supplied to hotels…only found it as I was looking for eco friendly shower gel that comes in environmentally friendly packaging.

Also bought a liter of concentrated soapy stuff for the grandkids bubble guns…tried it out and it works really well. That was £7ish delivered by Amazon, diluted it makes gallons of the stuff. No more tears when those silly little pots the supermarket sell run out in five minutes.

And if all that was from an alleged garden centre, the coffees and scones would have been more than double whatever you paid for the green stuff!!

In fairness the cafe at the garden centre we use is excellent and more or less no more expensive than going to ‘cafe only’ places round here.

Anyway, I used Appplepay on the phone and that’s not real money.

My neighbour has some apple trees and the fruit drops into my garden, they're not bothered about having it back.

So can I collect it and use it as payment:)
