    There was a woman in the co-op buying houseplants the other day and she was delighted because they'd been reduced to 10p each.

    Even I might have stretched to 10p - I wouldn't have minded them dying a few days later! I'm terrible with plants!! I can even kill cacti!

    I would ask friends for cuttings - plant lovers usually delight in sharing them.

    get a chilli plant. surprisingly easy to look after,a very hardy plant.does not take much looking after.and you get the benefit of homegrown fresh chillis.i got about 30 chillis from mine this year.once it has finished growing the chillis and you take them off it just looks like a stick but bit comes back again.

    Rob as you have cats take a look at this first before you buy any plants as some are toxic to pets if eaten.

    I can't recommend plants as everyone I tried died. Even spiderplants which are supposed to be really easy to look after!

    Rob16 If you are in Thurso, I will send some cuttings to a friend who will leave them in the Charity shop for you !
    I have sent so many cuttings - one package a day for three months when a friend needed some !! So I am well used to it.

    I will be in touch regarding collection !
