Yup, it's a palm for our patio. Wanted one for years but the price put me off.

Took a friend to our local garden centre this morning to choose a plant for her birthday and found my Trachycarpus Fortunie sitting unloved in the Knock Down area. Was originally on sale for over £80 but it had been in too windy a position all winter and looked a right mess. Offered them £15 for it and they accepted. YAY.

Brought it home and did some drastic pruning and, with a a bit more loving attention, I should have a happy Palm by next summer.

Yes plants certainly can be expensive as my Dad is often chuntering on the phone to me how much some plants cost and you have certainly got a bargain jo so its does pay to barter that's for sure.

Not exciting, but my last major purchase was a repair for our heating.

The combi boiler was regularly registering low pressure, so I figured (correctly) there was a leak somewhere in the system.

The system is insured but after three visits, the engineers sent by the insurers failed to find the fault, so I ended up paying an engineer myself, who checked the system over for an hour, then deduced there was a leak but couldn't find it, so he bunged a bottle of sealant in the system. Why the hell could the other engineers not have done that? I've ended up paying £120 to get someone in to do what I'm already paying the insurers to arrange.

Yes l am sure Hugh will have a excellent time seeing 10CC as they are a extremely talented group and not bad for four lads from Stockport even though there have been a few changes since then they are still excellent.

Have been looking at that too, should be a good night out. Must admit though, when our office overlooked Millennium Square it used to be a pain in the you know what when they were doing the sound checks.

I might look into getting a mech in the future, see how this goes. The Kbox was delivered yesterday, the subtank should be here tomorrow or Tuesday. The hardest thing to buy is the juice, there's some really bad tasting stuff out there! Blueberry, caremel and raspberry are the type I like.

Mix your own !!!!!!, I use 100%vg juice and mix to my own tastes, you'll find pg is too harsh and vg produces more vapour anyway ;)

Canon have an App (iOS and Android) for the 6D and 70D (which I have) where you can remote view what's in the viewfinder and acts as a remote as well - they may have one for the 7D....
