    Last thing I bought ...a cheap shovel.
    Next thing I'm have to buy...a quality shovel!
    I forgot to heed my own advice about always buy the best you can afford.:o

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Problem is that they are all too heavy for me.

    There'll be a show on in RDS 19/20 April ('Stock Lot'), which is open to trade and public visitors, offering deals on end of line, discontinued product, surplus stocks etc.

    Not sure if it'll be cheap but perhaps??

    The best idea for a recession buster that I have heard of recently is growing your own vegetables on an allotment. I know someone in Wicklow who is setting them up and I've put my name down. If you are interested, send me a private message and I'll pass on the details (don't want to post the phone number in public without permission)

    Things are bad here... I went out today and bought replacement handles for my shovel and spade. €11 well spent:D

    depends on the cost of the allotment; i've seen them being advertised at €300 p.a.; what with tools, seeds, investment of time, transport (if necessary), allotments start to look more like a hobby than a way of saving money.
